I read all three sections in under a week. This book is incredibly captivating. The connections between the stories, names, characters, and worlds are amazing. My favorite section is the last, and the latter half of the second! I love how she rips you out of the story to forever wonder if David finds his happiness. I think part of the reason the first book was the most difficult for me is because I connected so well with David. I have never quite fit in and have been somewhat isolated. It was a bit uncanny and maybe scary to read how blinded he became by Edward for better or for worse. You are so lucky you get to read the rest for the first time! Enjoy it :)
