A NIGHT WHEN TIME STOOD STILL

Everything freezes, however, when two gunshots are heard. Anna falls dead. And the closure of the colony will forever be linked with the tragedy.

    I did not like neither the writing nor the style of the narration.
    Watch the ERT series. It was narratively and dramatically superior!
    The characters in the book were colorless and rather unfinished.

    Gift from my children for my birthday, as they knew I had read and been impressed by her other book "The Island". The truth is, I was disappointed. I expected more things. Yes, it outlines the other characters but... something... is missing... I don't know what. If it wasn't the continuation of the previous one, I wouldn't bother to read it

    Having read "The Island" many times before years ago, I was thrilled when I found out that its sequel had been released. It was small, easy to read, and quite enjoyable. I liked that it delved into the characters and what followed after Anna's death, rather than solely focusing on Maria, as it had done in "The Island". This was truly interesting. Additionally, it answered questions (such as what happened to Manolis, who was Sofia's father). I liked it and highly recommend it!

    Having read the book, I was expecting something different... I can't say that it thrilled me, a little boring
