"Interesting start. Does makes me curious about the central mystery's development. All characters with defined personalities and relationships, feels like it's the middle one in a series. But that actually feels good, fast beginning, as any thriller should." — Feb 16, 2026 06:09PM

"Just as good and moody as when I read it the first time. I really love the atmosphere, the characters, the way they lived their lifes... this is a heartwarming book! at least in the beginning." — Feb 16, 2026 05:57PM

"The beginning shocked me (in a good and weird way), but then the following chapters were tame and uninteresting. I hope it picks up its pace back soon, and the central mystery gets its focus again." — Jan 20, 2026 07:13PM

“Grief causes you to leave yourself. You step outside your narrow little pelt. And you can’t feel grief unless you’ve had love before it - grief is the final outcome of love, because it’s love lost. […] It’s the cycle of love completed: to love, to lose, to feel grief, to leave, and then to love again. Grief is the awareness that you will have to be alone, and there is nothing beyond that because being alone is the ultimate final destiny of each individual living creature. That’s what death is, the great loneliness.”

“One of my favorites from my favorite author of all time:
The story-maker proves a successful 'sub-creator'. He makes a Secondary World which your mind can enter. Inside it, what he relates is 'true': it accords with the laws of that world. You therefore believe it, while you are, as it were, inside. The moment disbelief arises, the spell is broken; the magic, or rather art, has failed.
— from "On Fairy-Stories" (1939 essay)”

“Grief reunites you with what you've lost. It's a merging; you go with the loved thing or person that's going away. You follow it a far as you can go.
But finally,the grief goes away and you phase back into the world. Without him.
And you can accept that. What the hell choice is there? You cry, you continue to cry, because you don't ever completely come back from where you went with him -- a fragment broken off your pulsing, pumping heart is there still. A cut that never heals.
And if, when it happens to you over and over again in life, too much of your heart does finally go away, then you can't feel grief any more. And then you yourself are ready to die. You'll walk up the inclined ladder and someone else will remain behind grieving for you.”
