I have to comment on the front cover...It is beautiful the colours are my favourite I've been looking for a particular scene for my half purpose sleeve tattoo and I have found loads of components in this illustration ♥

A lovely read. The text was so rich in its descriptions that I was able to identify things I had not yet set my eyes on. Read it to understand what I mean.
