Overall, there seems to be effort in writing an understandable, easy book in this genre, although the writing style seems a bit off and needs more professional development in phrasing and which details to choose from, however I’m lucky to be one of the few who got the chance to read this book and wish the author a great journey in the world of book-writing, it may be due to the fact that this genre is less to my liking that the plot seemed tedious and unexciting, however this could be an interesting book for fans of fanfiction although the ending is more like an open-ended one.

The story has some elements and events that could have been the basis for non-muggle children's 'The Warlock's Hairy Heart' in Tales of Beedle The Bard. Overall it was a short, refreshing read that has a moral behind it which I could humbly assume has been a reference for many thriller stories nowadays but of course with a twist of modernization.

This story made my inner child happy, for it was the very same story I obsessed about when I was younger and asked my mother to narrate for me almost every night until I discovered that she could read novels in the dim light of a kerosene lamp for me.

I think that as much as the book depicts selfless sacrifice it also foreshadows the importance of gratitude of blessings we are unaware of, and how people aren't always deserving of such sacrifices
