Many times I open a new book at the end of another. After finishing this book, I would rather ruminate on this story and all the colors between the pages-colors of love, of uncertainty, of destiny. The story of Rumina and Alex is complex, filled with the heartache of the past and the hope of the future. I can only hope the story will continue with ones of Zelda and Luna.
