Rezension von Natália Oliveira<blockquote><b><i> “She'd loved Mada Vittora once. A twisted, misunderstood love, but even the cruelest forms of love were never lost without heartache.”</i></b></blockquote>Well, wasn't this a disappointment? It wasn't bad, per se, but it wasn't what I was expecting - I was expecting way, way more. The premise was amazing, but the execution was kinda lacking - there were this cliché and annoying romance stalling the main plot, obvious twists and what could be a very interesting main character that turns out to be just ok. She grows a little during the novel, but there's so much holding her back that she doesn't get a chance to shine. I like the kinda ragtag group of outcasts, and there are secondary characters that are way more interesting than the main ones, but they are not as explored. I overall like the pace of the book and the main plot, and the magic is well developed, and I like how things ended up and since there's only one book left, I plan to continue with it, but with fewer expectations.
