Rezension von AlinaI have absolutely no idea why so many people like this book so much. Dacre (the male main character - I'm NOT going to call him a hero because he's a toxic piece of shit) has so many red flags he could moonlight as flagpole. I'm thoroughly underwhelmed by the world building and plot. I have no idea what's going on in that world and why. I didn't even know the book was about fae until it casually was mentioned about halfway through the book. It's fast paced because it has to be...to make up for the crudely written explicit scenes. There are way better words out there to use! But...the choice of words makes it clear it's nothing but lust. Love? Bitch please. Back to our main characters. Nyra (female „lead") has no backbone, anger issues and should learn not to have sex just because the guy dares her to. Everything about the encounters of Dacre and Nyra is plain toxic (him constantly calling her a traitor, ongoing verbal abuse, his possessiveness (not jealousy. Possessiveness!) him not accepting her saying „no" because he knows better - just to name a tew). But the cherry on top: the last chapter. Are you kidding me??? That's very very close to rape. Him fucking her (yes. It was nothing else than a nice fuck for him) while knowing her biggest secret and NOT talking it out with her? Wasting time fucking her, he could have used for making plans if he really cared about her? Then calling her by her given name while still inside her? Not stopping as she pushed against his shoulders because she was afraid for her life now? I made myself finish this book constantly hoping for a good ending. But. No. I'm definitely not forcing myself to read the next book. I can't recommend this series to any self loving woman
Rezension von LaraEin unglaublich tolles Buch was einen direkt von Anfang an fesselt. Nyra ist eine starke Protagonisten trotz ihrer Vergangenheit. Eins der wenigen Bücher wo ich die Seite umgeblättert habe um festzustellen es ist schon zu Ende - ich brauche mehr!
Rezension von Vana HinkeOmg was war das bitte? Eine wirklich spannende Story mit tollen Charakteren(ich hab es im einen Zug durch gelesen). Einzige was ich schade fand das ich nicht wirklich hinter der Magie gekommen bin Das Ende war dafür viel zu schnell und ein wirklich gemeiner Clifhanger! Ich freue mich auf den nächsten Teil🤗
Rezension von CélineJoa, war okay. Keine besonders packende Handlung und auch ein bisschen voraussehbar.
Rezension von PiaBevor man dieses Buch liest sollte man wissen, dass es sich eigentlich nicht um Romantasy handelt. Für mich ist es ein Romance Buch im Fantasygewand, das zum zentralen Thema das Love Interest der beiden Protagonisten hat und die -wenn man das überhaupt so nennen kann- magische Welt steht absolut im Hintergrund. Zudem fand ich die Erzählweise spannend, zumal sich einige Aspekte erst nach und nach enthüllen und gut in die Story einfließen. Gegen Ende des Buches gab es dann plötzlich viel Spice, der auch nicht unbedingt als Vanilla bezeichnet werden kann. Band 2 kann nun alles sein, ein spannendes Ende, ein guter Twist, oder aber ein cringe Abschluss a la Coven of Bones.
