The Girl in the Tower

It is such an incredible feeling when the second book in the trilogy turns out to be as great as a previous one. I'm not disappointed at all.

The Girl in the Tower was much more fast-paced than the previous one. There was always something going on. However, the book still didn't lost its fairytale-ish feeling, when the things are bad, but not overcomplicated and, certainly, not boring. As for the plot, it's better to go in the book not expecting any surprises. There wouldn't be any as it is still a fairytale - and when were you last surprised with the finale of one?

Every time you take one path, you must live with the memory of the other: of a life left unchosen. Decide as seems best, one course or the other; each way will have its bitter with its sweet.
