Ich bin verliiiebt in das Konzept dieser Welt und den Hook des Plots, die Umsetzung ist einfach nur enjoyable, hab es in 2 Sitzungen gesuchtet.
Der Schreibstil ist an die Szenerie angepasst und trotzdem einfach und schnell zu verstehen, sehr angenehm.

Mir haben einige Zeilen im Bezug auf die Beziehung etwas Bauchschmerzen bereitet, ich verstehe sie aber im Kontext der Story und hoffe auf eine Auflösung, sehr gespannt auf den nächsten Band.

Für alle, die Plot-Based Romantasy lieben und etwas zum darin Verlieren und Genießen suchen.

Liebst du jemanden, der mit dir durch die Hölle gehen würde, oder lernst du jemanden erst lieben, wenn ihr gemeinsam durch die Hölle geht?

I didn't enjoy the All-smut route this book took at like the 4/5 mark too much, but it was still really good and enjoyable.

Also the take on the fmc is really realistic, which could be annoying but made it a little more grounded for me to read.
Excited to see where this leads!

For all the Swifties, filled to the brim with wavering emotions and easter eggs.

Euting out my heart is the only way to stop the hurt."
