After reading 18 chapters. I believe it’s the most boring book I have ever read. If I hade a choice I would stop reading the book and read a different book. Because now that we have the setting of the book and the characters it spent 2 chapters talking about one little butterfly. And the author also chose to spent another chapter just about a play. In my opinion it’s the worse book in the history of books.
