Rezension von AnastasiaLeider hat mich der Roman gar nicht abgeholt. Die Story hatte zwar unglaublich viel Potenzial, wurde aber viel zu sehr geruhst. Ich hab weder zu den Charakteren, noch zu der Welt irgendeine Art von Connection aufbauen können und hatte das Gefühl, dass da einiges an Tiefe fehlt. Mir war lange nicht ganz klar wer jetzt überhaupt der MMC ist. Außerdem wurde mir alles etwas zu simpel gehalten und auch gelöst. Hatte mich so drauf gefreut und wurde leider echt enttäuscht :(
Rezension von CeceI really liked the chemistry between the main characters. I haven’t figured out what the tropes are (second chance, hater to lovers, love triangle?) but I liked it. The story isn’t something new to the genre, that’s why I sometimes struggled to continue with reading. But all in one it’s a good Romantasy Book ✨
Rezension von Sarahit's a solid start as a first book of a series but I personally think it's overhyped. A map and a glossary could have helped for the readers experience. it's got some trials and competition but again, I found the description of the events lacking. there's one main mmc-fmc interaction but the mmc is giving me extreme dain aetos vibes and it's to be expected that the mmc will change and create some drama. so all in all, it's OK but I've read better books containing trials and magic systems. Will continue with the series in hopes that it gets better
