I like the story. It’s unique and unconventional for a romance novel. The struggle of a woman to fight for her love as well as the struggle of the man who needs to follow his mission in life is a very good plot.
The conflict is very good. As a reader, you will also be torn. The writer has also created the characters very well, especially the heroine. She is very descriptive. You can also feel the emotion of the character. You will be confused and hurt. You will feel love, happiness and hope. But at the end of the day, you will feel resigned. Because no matter how much you love a person, you know you can’t compete over someone that is greater than love.
Aside from the story, what really struck me most as a reader is how the book was written. I like the flow of words. It is so smooth and very descriptive. It is full of emotions. The words are well-chosen. They perfectly portray the feelings of the characters, especially the heroine. You will not just get hooked with the story, but you will be sucked into the narration.
Paulo has a gift for words and it is always manifested in his work. This book is one of his books that I love and won’t hesitate to read again.
