First read through:
This book took me by surprise!
When I read the premis I thought that it sounded interesting. I mean it's about a girl who draws monsters and everyone loves it. However nobody knows that those monsters she drew really exist. That alone sounded great. I didn't knew much about tge rest of the story which actually was really good. I really enjoyed not knowing what this is about.

The story took a very interesting spin and it kept me wondering what's going to happen next. For quite a long time I was wondering about Karou's real identity and man, that was such an interesting and nice twist. I really enjoyed seeing all the 'monster' in this story too.

The characters in this book are very lovely and very enjoyable to read. I liked Zuzana and Karou the most. However, no one can denie the charm of the angle too ^^

I really loved the writing style. It kept me craving for more. It still does! I'm so glad that there are 2 more books I can read in the series. I want to start them now ^___^

I started this series when I got back into reading in 2017 and I remember really liking the story. I even bought the last two books as I was eager to continue... which I did not do. So I decided to pick this book up again and start anew. To my surprise I liked it even better than the last time I read it. It's very well written and the characters are very really good. I'm still fastinated by the world the author created with this book. The twist, the plot and everything surounding the plot was so amazing to expiriance again. Definetly will pick up book two soon ^____^
