It was too long and none of the characters actually stood out and overall the story looked a bit unrealistic. I may not recommend to a friend.

I enjoyed the fact that the glass girl could talk and walk just like a normal person. It was interesting about how the girl’s father brought a bubble of glass to catch Eliza’s last breath and how it changed colour. Eliza’s sister plays with the glass version of her sister and soon starts to question whether it’s her ghost.

I liked this book because I like magical books like Harry Potter and this book was very magical. I’d recommend it to people who like fantasy and magic.
Senorita Angora Legend 27.06.2020
This book was great and I thought Maria was a great sister. It was interesting because I wanted to find out if Maria actually got magical powers and became a glass maker. I would highly recommend this book to someone who wants to be a great family member and wants to support their families.

It's great, but the blurb doesn't match up with the story.
