I'll talk about the cover first. I think this cover is fantastic. It doesn't give too much away and it leaves you asking questions. There are also little details hidden well within the cover. For instance, the orange cover represents flames and you'll understand why after reading this book. The man and girl holding hands leaves you curious, wanting to know exactly who they are and what their relationship is like. The phrase at the bottom is also quite good. Personally, I don't think it best fits the novels themes and what it is about. It could have been a lot more, not specific, about the subjects the books tackles. Obviously, people say not to judge a book by its cover, but let's face it - who doesn't?
I loved the first book in the series, Once. Breathtaking, it left me wanting more. I got more in the sequel, Then. Then was very good but not as unique and innocent as Once.
Then we have Now, which came as a huge disappointment to me. It didn't flow as well as Once and the female narrator somehow ruined what the series was supposed to be about. Of course, it is set in a different era, which is understandable but I felt this ruined it. I don't know why but I was skimming the pages. It didn't grip me like the others and I didn't learn anything from it. All the same this is an unmissable series, even if it did have a disappointing end.
