🇳🇱: jeetje was een dik boek. Toen ik begon aan dit boek voelde ik meteen weer de vibes waar ik fourth wing mee geëindigd ben. Naarmate ik verder kwam in het boek werd dit minder. Het boek is in mijn mening gehaast geschreven, het bevat veel actie die slecht uitgewerkt is. Er komt heel veel op je af in de 600 pagina's maar veel had beter uitgewerkt kunnen worden. Ook waren er veel nieuwe (soms onbelangrijke) namen die je in de war brachten. Het einde maakte een hele hoop goed, maar die had wat uitgebreidere gemogen. Beter uitgewerkte actie in het boek had beter op zijn plaats geweest dan de hoeveelheid korte actie. Ook was dit boek zoals wordt gezegt veel meer gefocust op informatie over de wereld en de manier van besturen en magie. Dit is niet voor iedereen weggelegt, vooral als je niet zo veel fantasie leest. Al met al een goed vervolg, maar hij had beter uitgewerkt kunnen worden. Door het einde ben ik enorm benieuwd naar deel 3.

🇬🇧: wow, that was a big book. When I started this book I immediately felt the vibes that I ended Fourth Wing with. As I got further into the book this became less. In my opinion, the book was written in a hurry, it contains a lot of action that is poorly developed. There is a lot to deal with in the 600 pages, but much could have been developed better. There were also a lot of new (sometimes unimportant) names that confused you. The ending made up for a lot, but it could have been a bit more elaborate. Better developed action in the book would have been more appropriate than the amount of short action. Also, as stated, this book was much more focused on information about the world and the way of governing and magic. This isn't for everyone, especially if you don't read much fantasy. All in all a good sequel, but it could have been developed better. The ending makes me very curious about part 3.

Kiedy skończyłam tę książkę pomyślałam "Dlaczego to nie jest jak "Harry Potter"? Przecież wtedy byłoby to dużo łatwiej czytać" A potem się ucieszyłam z tego. Bo pod wieloma względami ta seria jest dla mnie jak "Harry Potter" (nie chodzi mi tu tylko o toxic autorki), kiedy miałam 10 lat. Jest jednak inna, dla innej grupy wiekowej. Jest dużo bardziej dramatyczna, emocjonalna. Absolutnie pokochałam tę książkę. Dlaczego więc nie dałam jej 5⭐️? Ponieważ ostatnie 200-300 stron mnie straumatyzowało i po prostu I can't get over it just yet. Pewnie jak nabiorę dystansu to to zmienię.

Definitely a fun and engaging read, but prepare for a deluge of cringe moments. Also smut.

It has its moments where your jaw drops but also moments where you roll your eyes.
