OMG AAH! Wat houd ik toch van Marissa Meyer's boeken. Zoals gewoonlijk was het weer heerlijk romantisch en sprookjesachtig. Maar deze keer zat er ook echt die grimmige kant aan, wat vernieuwend was voor Meyer's verhalen.

Ik vond Serilda weer een bijzonder fijne, sterke hoofdpersoon. Ik ben zeer benieuwd naar Vervloekt!

Ik vond de vertaling erg fijn. Ook omdat er veel Duitse termen voorbij kwamen vanwege de Germaanse mythologie. Erg cool om die mythologie ook terug te zien in boeken. 

Ik vind het bijna jammer dat ik zolang heb gewacht met het lezen van deze duologie. Maar dankzij Yaltival had ik eindelijk de noodzaak om ze voorrang te geven en zal het verhaal mij fris in het geheugen zitten als ik Marissa Meyer weer zal ontmoeten op 30 juni 2024!

My heart is broken! However, I’m in love with this retelling. I have enjoyed all of Marissa Meyer’s books and series. I can’t wait to finish this duology.
