Heart wrenching love story, beautiful language and well written plot with time traveling (usually a big risk). This has been my favorite for almost ten years and I've read it and listened to it many times, and it always does the trick. Beautiful.

Great YA fantasy and combining myths and mythology, really a page turner. This was a childhood favorite and I was afraid that I wouldn't enjoy it over ten years later, but I sure did! Solid entertainment and pretty good worldbuilding, even tho I could feel the target audience from the text.

Beautiful, beautiful picture of a time, of war, but also a breathtaking lovestory. Can't really give any criticism, Im blown away and probably will linger in these events for days. Amazing book.

Really bad writing, like a kids novel. Also stupid characters. Thats sad, bc I really thought that the plot had potential and the ending was really good. All in all, it was quite entertaining.

This is horrible. Not for the weak. Beautifully written and luckily not too long, so its quickly over. Its a brief trespassing into the human minds deep dark capabilities. Can't really recommend this for anyone. Literally every possible conter warning.

One star away bc of the misogyny and weird description of female characters and sex, otherwise a beautiful book that left me empty with a comforting sadness. Really relatable picturing of mental health of self and loved ones, loneliness and finding your path.

Bit of a slow start and somewhat clumsy events, but towards the end got really really good. I loved the reflection about society and the tension. I get why this is a classic.
