The plot draws a lot on classic stories, but not necessarily the most overdone ones, letting it still feel fresh and somewhat unpredictable. It’s definitely a good read, but doesn’t necessarily draw me in for more.
Moderate: Body horror, Confinement, Death, Gore, Torture, Blood, Kidnapping, Injury/Injury detail
Minor: Ableism, Animal death, Rape, Sexual assault, Sexual content, Slavery, Violence, Xenophobia, Excrement, Vomit, Medical content, Grief, Death of parent, Murder, Fire/Fire injury, Alcohol, War
This sentence sums up so much of this book for me: needlessly wordy, dark, and not well crafted enough to warrant all the hype.
The plot was good, but it would have been so much better in the hands of a more competent writer who knew how to actually employ the flowery prose with which Maas clearly wanted to fill this overly long novel.
Also the spicy level and romance (The Main Things that are supposed to make this series notable) are underwhelming, to say the least. It certainly does not help matters that you *know* Tamlin was never intended to be End Game.
I will still read the next novel because that is where I have been told that this series actually starts to get good?? We will see...

ohne tiktok hype und süpps approval bin ich mir nicht sicher, ob ich nach 150 seiten weitergelesen hätte…
ABER ja das ende war schon viiiel lebhafter und spannender. ich hatte meinen spaß und es war duechweg easy zu lesen. gute unterhaltung auch für zwischendurch, wenn man noch eine hausarbeit schreiben muss und eigentlich keine zeit hat 🌝.
ich muss aber auch sagen… es war INSANE!! wie oft verschiedene charaktere erbrochen haben. definitiv trigger warnung, mir wurde schon öfter selbst schlecht 🤧.
