Rezension von booq_cafeThis book is perfect - it gets everything right. At first I was a little unsure about reading it, because I didn‘t like „The kiss of deception“. The beginning is a little slow, but you get to know all the protagonists and the setting. Then, after you think this story is going nowhere, everything happens at once and the whole plot explodes. I didn’t know what could happen next and where everybody would end up. As you can see, the pacing was phenomenal. The worldbuilding takes just the right amount of time and then the story unravels. There are lots of conversations, but also enough descriptions and there even is some history mixed with the adventure. The protagonists and actually all characters felt real and authentic. I loved Kazis little crew of Wren and Synové - they are some bad ass bitches you should always have on your side. The Ballenger clan on the other hand was equally well displayed. I understood their sense of loyalty and family. The whole family became something very special to me. The love story might be one of the best ones I have ever read. The tension is great and it is an enemies-to-lovers story, which gets me every time. Both characters (Kazi and Jase) evolve for themselves and fight together. It’s the perfekt balance, but of course nobody wants to let the other one know just how perfect they are together, so they taunt each other. It’s perfection! Jase comes across as stubborn and dominant at first, but he is so much more. He is a protector and always loyal to his family, who he loves fiercely. He carries much more upon his shoulders than he should and he carries is well. Also he is dark, handsome and sooo sexy. Suffice it so say: I love him! Kazi is brave, bright and always a step ahead of everyone. She comes to the city with a need to control her life, but evolves throughout the story with her time at the Ballengers home. I loved to read in her POV about her love to her friends and her growing loyalty to Jase and the Ballengers.
Rezension von KayleighThis book fell flat for me. I‘m not a romantasy reader, so this could be why. The first 200 pages were sloooow. They were just talking chapters over chapters…please, give me some plot. The stakes were not very high. I could not care less. Only the last 200 pages were action-packed, but again, the ending was wayyy to easy and boring. Also, this is not very fantasy for me. They talked about magic, but it never appeared (maybe in book 2? not sure if I will read it bc I hate the romance between the main characters). Also I hated the lack of world building. A map was included, but did not help bc every place mentioned wasn‘t included in the map, wtf. So confusing. bonus points for my girl Kazi, I loved her strong character!! I just want to read about her. Jase gives me the ick…
Rezension von NehirKazi, eine clevere Diebin und Kriegerin, wird von der Königin von Venda auf eine Mission geschickt, um einen gefährlichen Verbrecher aufzuspüren. Dabei gerät sie an Jase Ballenger, den Anführer eines mächtigen Clans. Beide verfolgen ihre eigenen Ziele und tragen Geheimnisse mit sich, was zu einigen Verwirrungen führt – besonders, als sie plötzlich zusammenarbeiten müssen. Die Dynamik zwischen den beiden hat mir besonders gut gefallen. Mary E. Pearsons Stil hat mich wieder einmal überzeugt. Die wechselnden Perspektiven zwischen Kazi und Jase erlauben einen tiefen Einblick in beide Figuren – zumindest so weit, wie es möglich ist. Denn bis zum Ende bleibt ihre Beziehung zueinander in vielerlei Hinsicht unklar, was für zusätzliche Spannung sorgt. Es gab einige überraschende Wendungen, auch wenn mich keine davon vollkommen umgehauen hat. Dennoch mochte ich die politischen Machtspiele und Intrigen, die hier wieder eine größere Rolle spielen, ebenso wie die erhöhte Action. Das Ende weckt definitiv die Neugier auf den nächsten Teil
Rezension von Betty Lindnerno review has ever been easier. i loved it. the push and pull, the characters, the plot... 5⭐️ the last chapter? no, you guys... the last chapter? terrified second read: still a 5 star read, completely obsessed, especially now that I've also read "The Remnant Chronicles", which takes place 6 years before this duology but many Characters cameo in it. I LOVE LOVE LOVE
