[Lee · Rating 5 out of 5]

Of all the different paths someone can take on the way to the end, this one had an ironic kick in the stomach. Beautifully written with a captivating now-and-then plot. When the two plots finally met, i was expecting some sort of realization, not the twist this one had!

And also the pros and cons of the naive/idealistic self, family drama and intense conflict, and an interestingly ironic ending. I don't want to be Alun. You just knew things were not going to go smoothly, even though you might not have quite predicted this particular conclusion.
