   The first book was so angsty, I couldn't bear to read more than half of it. The beginning was fast-paced and sweet, but it was just so sad, so I skipped straight to the end. And then, the little girl in the story tragically died! Good for her! 👍🏻 I still remember "I wish I could become a stone bridge," it struck me so hard I was practically spitting blood! I couldn't bear to read any more. 💜 The ending was even worse than a tragic ending; it made me so heartbroken. I don't remember the plots of the next two books, but they should be similar. Books that I managed to finish are generally pretty good. 👍🏻
