nUser Reviews
Tough but loving and strong and magical
In the end it proved worth it as all the threads came together
Would have liked to find out more about some of the characters from the past !
Like Grace ,Frederick and Antha's child ?
I may not have this accurately depicted as it was a challenge with three stories in rotation
Still found it all intriguing and kept me in my mental toes
More from the same
