"No matter how eager you are for it, you cannot make the moon set nor rise any faster"
WOW!
La verdad es que me gusto muchísimo, estoy sorprendida de que para ser una fantasía "juvenil" no esta enfocada en el romance, más bien esta enfocada en el mundo, en sus leyes, en sus dramas políticos y de la corona y eso me encantó.
"Instead of being afraid, i could come something to fear. "
También, y creo que mi parte favorita, es Jude, que buen protagonista femenino; llena de valor, confianza, y un crecimiento enorme desde el inicio hasta el final de la novela., no puedo esperar a ver como sigue creciendo el personaje y como se va a ir adaptando, a lo que estoy segura que va a pasar, a lo que viene
"My people had wings once
And though i've never had a pair of my own, sometimes i feel the lack of them"
Super recomendado 1000/10 (solo le puse 4 estrellas por que dicen que los que vienen son mejores y tengo que darles su espacio lol)

1. pacing is slow for most of the book, but there is enough complicated intrigue and weird world building to keep you reading.
2. It does not feel like a story or world that I have read in fantasy before, and that’s hard to do. I enjoyed that.
3. Romance is basically non-existent in this book, but it does feel like a very long and elaborate set up for future romance in other books maybe? If anything this is really a political intrigue book with a very subtle romance subplot. If that’s your jam, you’re going to love this.
4. The person I am fairly sure is the future hero is A LITERAL ASSHOLE for 99.9% of the book. Like zero redeeming qualities, not even described as attractive? If you aren’t patient with very long redemptive arcs for characters, or if you can’t tolerate not knowing who the true love interest is, maybe skip this book.
5. The heroine feels really young and also not particularly moral??? Like she is decidedly not justice-motivated. She seems really immature and self interested at times. This makes for a surprising read if I’m honest and I think we will watch her develop a lot in the books. This book feels a bit like a prequel somehow?
6.
7. I would have given up on this book entirely if it wasn’t for some really surprising shit that goes down around the chapter 26 mark that had me WTF-ing all over the place. It’s like it suddenly turned into the book I wanted it to be. The last four chapters are, in my opinion, amazing. They had me on the edge of my seat. I hope they reflect what future books will be like.
Oh, final thought: I think listening as an audiobook kinda made this book worse for me than it was, because the narrator didn’t do distinct voices for the characters, and it made it really confusing. Would recommend reading it as a book.
Lots of content warnings on this one.
