Wow ce mai serie! In primul rand titlul :x apoi actiunea foarte originala. Ma intreb ce se intampla cu Weed si Jasmine la sfarsitul primului volum. De asemenea, imi plac numele lor :D
O coperta mai neobisnuita nu am mai intalnit asa ceva.Imi place descrierea.
Coperta e intr-adevar mai neobisnuita, dar au imbinat frumos padurea cu chipurile umane.
