i didn’t think this book could make me cry in the first 76 pages, however The Daughter touched my soul in such an all-encompassing manner. i literally burst into tears in public and got taken back to being an 11-year-old girl wanting to feel the comfort of my mother’s hug after a bad day.

there is an invisible string that connects each character, one that not only pulls them closer but save them both like a lifeline.

a sentiment that held true in each story:

“Don’t ever forget me until the end of the ages […] Because my love runs deeper than any grudge.”

The whole book series is just the epitome of the "try not to cry challenge," and I am failing in all of it. An ultimate tearjerker, and I just started part 1. There's an underlying theme in the book; it's a simple concept we tend to take for granted: we never know when we will die, so take the chance and do it, whether you wish it on a thing, for someone, or for yourself.
