This novella started out really good, the first 3 or 4 chapters were really enjoyable to me but once she is reunited with her father things started to go downhill. It's a shame, the story in itself is quite interesting but I just couldn't stand the over-dramatized and over-poetic dialogs and actually later on most of the writing just annoyed me. If you like that kind of literature, that's fine, but it just wasn't for me.
