Rezension von AnkaNot sure what I think of this book. At first, I liked the way the author wrote. But then again, the story never really picked up much and I felt like I had to drag myself through it. The end was surprising, so much that I maybe will give the second book another chance. But I’m unsure if I like the FMC and the dynamics between characters was really unsettling.
Rezension von FabiIch liebe diese Reihe einfach. Der Weltenbau, die Figuren, die politischen Intrigen und Plottwists. Jede Figur hat eigene Motivationen und ist vielschichtig konstruiert, was die Beziehungen dynamisch macht. Der einzige Grund, warum es keine 5 Sterne sind, ist das Wissen, dass die nächsten Teile das noch toppen 🤭
Rezension von Natascha20 Kapitel um richtig anzufangen und dann ging es immer noch nicht los. Nö.
Rezension von AnnaVery little romance, but good story telling
Rezension von NoemiDieses Buch war sooo unfassbar toll. Ich habe es auf englisch gelesen und der schreibstil war sooo spannend. Jude ist die beste FMC die ich je in einem Buch hatte und Cardan da muss ich glaub gar nichts sagen. So viele iconic Zitate sind aus diesem Buch und ich würde allen die es als Paperback lesen empfehlen es zu anotieren.
