Reviewed by LilithWar richtig gut nur anfangs etwas verwirrend aber vor allem die plottwists und die tension ist legendary
Reviewed by lasokinda full of spoilers... 𝔟𝔢𝔴𝔞𝔯𝔢 cried when liam died 😢 violet is so smart and ughhgggghh such a great mc through and through im obsessed 👑 her growth, her strength, her mind.. can't wait to see where she's going. definitely up there with jude and wren as my fav female fantasy mcs. absolutely speechless about xaden, defo a character w a special place in my heart 😎 could see some parts coming but was shocked about every reveal anyway... VERY excited and VERY scared for the second book. 😶 obsessed with the whole world and how the book is written.. haven't been hooked like this since the folk of the air/stolen heir series. im very interested to see how the others (rhi, ridoc, sawyer) will play into the whole storyline from now on and of course dain (is he rly just a little puppet because of his obsession w the codex and rules??) love the rebellion kids and can't wait to learn more about them.. will miss liam 😢 EXCITED TO SEE what's up w brennan and the sorrengail family relationships. also very thrilled to see what andarnas evolution will bring. favourite part was definitely when they kissed for the first time and there was lighting 👑 amazeballs. 10/10
Reviewed by Ilo…Lieblingsreihe!
Reviewed by SvenSehr geiles Buch, gibt mir irgendwie auch YA Vibes. Bei längerem Nachdenken leider ein paar Logiklücken und zum Teil hölzerne Dialoge. Dafür aber immersiv, tolle Chatactere und gute Romance, wobei ich hoffe, dass diese in den nächsten Büchern vertieft wird, da Violet mir zu schnell für Xaden fiel.
Reviewed by sosoErinnert mich sehr an Die Tribute von Panem. Konnte das Buch aber trotzdem nicht weglegen.
