TLDR: By the end I LOVE IT. The characters are funny and emotional, the plot is intriguing!
It did take make about 300 pages to decide I would like it and keep reading. The world building is heavy. There is a lot of adjusting to the politics and history of the world and characters pasts. Overall the main characters are funny, have good chemistry, witty banter, and have many layers making them complicated yet relatable.

I definitely wasn't expecting a lot of the plot twists and surprise endings. Bryce is one of my favorite female characters in a fantasy novel. She is objectively the epitome of a dumb party girl but she is also a fucking badass and I can't even begin to explain how happy that combination makes me for some reason.
Also he relationship with Ruhn and Hunt and the sass between them all is just amazing. And the enemies to lovers between Bryce and Hunt is *chefs kiss* one of my favorite tropes. And they do it so well. Plus we have the whole golden retriever black cat relationship as well as two broken people healing each other which is also one of my favorites.
Also fuck the whole slave thing, that's ridiculous, people shouldn't be able to own other people that are able to make their own decisions and think for themselves. Otherwise I liked that this was different enough from SJMs other series but also similar enough to not be a weird read. Cannot wait to start the next book in the series.

Ich mochte das Buch sehr gerne. Die Trauerbewältigung der Charaktere fühlt sich real und ebenso tragisch an. Das Buch hat viele Stellen, an denen die Trauer eine zentrale Rolle spielt, die ich persönlich schwer zu lesen fand. Dennoch waren diese Stellen ebenso gut, wie der Rest des Buches.
Mir persönlich war jedoch manchmal die sexuelle Spannung im Buch zu viel.
