“This book is very enlightening in a way. It tells you very often the things that hold a person back:
1. Fear (of yourself and others)
2. Being unable to control your emotions (especially anger), which, in Aurella’s case, often results in spontaneous combustion
3. Being overly single-minded in chasing after a goal (whether it’s a loved one or it’s revenge. As demonstrated in the book, this almost always ends in disaster when you neglect other important things.”
