Somehow this whole book felt like one long prolog to a bigger story. Nothing really happened plotwise and considering how the romance was very much on the instalove side of things, this book also didn’t really take a lot of time to give characters time to have deep conversations and really get to know each other. 

I did enjoy the interesting political conflicts that were created and the hints to magical powers we got glimpses of. 

The writing style was nice and engaging, that it was easy and engaging to just keep on reading. 

Overall I’m just whelmed by this book’s story but I did enjoy reading it.

Teilweise muss ich gestehen, dass ich die Prämisse etwas sehr verückt und verstörend. Dennoch waren die Charaktere sehr interessant und ich fand es spannend mehr über sie herausfinden. Im Gegensatz zum Hauptcharakter ist es mir nicht gelungen nur ein wenig über die vielen Frauen hinwegzusehen, die ermordet wurden. Deswegen konnte ich die "Liebesgeschichte" nicht so wirklich genießen. Trotzdem will ich unbedingt wissen wie es weiter geht.
