Allerdings hatte mich die Formatierung gestört (wer fängt auf der linken Seite an?👀) und was mich am allermeisten gestört hatte war, dass Namen Übersetzt wurden😭 (Cloud Recesses, Burial Mounds, Fairy, Sunshot Campaign, Cutsleeve). I mean ich kann verstehen das man es übersetzen könnte aber es sind immerhin wichtige Namen und da fand ich es eher unpassend das diese übersetzt wurden (absolut meine persönliche Meinung und Präferenz)

This first of the total of 5 books that the full story has been split up in really sets up a lot for what's coming later. It feels quite slow at times, and the events that happen do not carry a lot of weight yet as the story is still building up to the parts with more tension. However, I do really enjoy the way this first book lets you get to know and introduces the reader to a lot of the important characters in this story. However, it has never been, and should not be read as a book that can be read as a stand-alone novel. While with some book series, you can read a first book and then just stop and be happy with that story, this is a series that you should definitely finish in order to fully understand and appreciate the whole story. With that said, I will definitely be buying the other books as they are released and slowly re-read this captivating story.

I've read a fan translation of this online before it was released in English so this is technically a re-read for me but it was so nice to get back into this world again. I understand why they have had to break the story up into separate books but when you reach the end you can tell that this is not where it was meant to be stopped.
I've already pre-ordered the next two books in the series and can't wait to read them again, for the time being, though I'll just rewatch The Untamed on Netflix.

I am familiar with the characters and the world as I watched a few episodes of The Untamed. Obviously, this is the written work that drama is based off so it was cool finally being able to read about some of the events I've already seen.
I excitedly look forward to the next part!

There are some heavy topics, but generally glossed over to a degree, as the main character does not want to dwell on them. I will be adding the appropriate content warnings for each volume, as opposed to for the book in full - as a result there are some that are not present now, but will be in the reviews for each individual volume.ash445's review against another edition
