I hope you can enjoy Dangerous Girls when you get round to it - that's one of the ones I want to try for myself. And yes, you are right in thinking that this one is really intense. <br /><br />Main characters are important to me, and setting is the second most important <3 So I loved that these two elements were handled incredibly well.

I *am* going to read Dangerous Girls, at some point, but your description of how intense this one was reading makes me think I wouldn't cope so well with it!<br /><br />I'm glad it was mostly splendid going for you, Olivia-Savannah! I do rather like the sound of the characters, especially since more than the MCs have backgrounds and detail to them, to make them come alive, and also I really like that you say you felt like you got to see the country, even if you'd have liked to see even more of it.<br /><br />Nice review. xx Romihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07506760687610055112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8964812786330789100.post-3568740670478401802016-05-21T17:29:48.247+02:002016-05-21T17:29:48.247+02:00Sure I can, no problem ;)Sure I can, no problem ;)Olivia's Catastrophehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12706765857201768908noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8964812786330789100.post-82039664735221212322016-05-21T17:28:22.208+02:002016-05-21T17:28:22.208+02:00Glad for the reminder!
