Even though I've already seen the episodes, granted it's been a while, I still couldn't put the book down. I was only planning on reading one chapter before going back to playing my game, but instead, I kept reading and finished the book. I love this series so much, words can't even express it!

Can't wait for the next volume~… (más)
