This book can be read in two ways:
1. To better follow Ophelia's story: Start by reading the book, and when Alistair gives the diary to Ophelia, one can read the diary to find out the truth together with the princess.
2. To better follow Alistair’s story: Read the diary first, to know his hidden secrets as you turn the pages of the story.
Both ways are correct and will keep you in suspense. Alistair doesn't put all his secrets in a diary anyway.
