Pre-order Ika Natassa's book renowned by 'bloody pre-order'. It's my first time really wanna have her book, titled 'the architecture of love', a book from #PollStory in twitter. Every twice a week (Tuesday and Thursday) in almost two months in early 2016, I followed the story. It's nice when we as readers can also participate to determine what storyline in the next chapter. But, truthfully, I never gave my vote, haha. I just enjoy reading whatever the #PollStory result. Maybe I just excited to experience a new reading method :p
After failed got the special box set edition, I kinda challenged. I wanna test my luck to have this limited numbered book. So, at exact 13.00 on June, 1st, I try the online book store that open pre-order for this book, one by one. Really frustrated when the book store's page showed bad gateway error message. Just in few minutes later, 'sold out'. Ika Natassa's fans is really amazing. When pre-order like this, you'd better team up with your friend. So, you can split what online book store that you must be focus on. And don't forget to have fast internet connection. If you late just in second, your chance gone. Be prepared.
I almost gave up to try. But, after diligently read announcement in timeline and find out one of book store account, they open manual order (not by website), because their website still not working well. The order method was unclear. So, I kinda spammed, with mention, sms, and send whatsapp message. Feeling really thankful when got replied: you got signature edition. Yeay! Believe, hard work will bear fruit :v
I didn't read the book immediately. Because I already knew more than half its story, I guess this book not make me curious anymore. I must gathered my desire to finished River story in this book. But, I think the ending is kinda forced. I knew they have the same last name, but... it just didn't met my expectation, sorry to say. I'd rather enjoy the pre-order process than reading this book.
3.5 out of 5 stars.
