Das Buch war okay - eben mittelmäßig. Ich möchte besonders positiv das schnelle Pacing hervorheben, das meistens von Actionszene zu Actionszene springt, was es sehr leicht gemacht hat, das Buch zu lesen. Hierzu hat auch der einfache Schreibstil beigetragen. Cool fand ich das Worldbuilding, das sich durch sein Magiesystem der Elementarmagier von anderen Büchern unterscheidet, letztendlich jedoch eher oberflächlich bleibt. Das liegt auch an der FMC, Rhya, die ein vermeintlicher Halbling (halb Fae/halb Mensch) ist. Mit ihr hatte ich beim Lesen eigentlich die meisten Probleme. Sie ist eine sehr passive Figur, die wenig aus sich selbst heraus handelt und sich entwickeln möchte, sondern sehr stark in Abhängigkeit zum MMC handelt. Das hat mich vor allem gestört, weil der MMC sie an einer Stelle mit einer anderen Frau vergleicht und sagt, dass Rhya im Gegensatz zu dieser so stark sei?? Wie bitte? Ich könnte stundenlang ihre dummen Entscheidungen aufzählen! Außerdem erschien mir die Romance sehr von Violet/Xaden abgeguckt, was die Chemie und das gegenseitige Fühlen von Emotionen/Gedanken angeht. Leider habe ich auch überhaupt nicht verstanden, was der MMC in der FMC sieht, außer dass sie eine Windweberin ist. Generell habe ich das Verhalten des MMC leider auch gar nicht verstanden, vor allem warum er am Anfang des Romans so handelt wie er es tut. Dazu bleiben auch die Nebenfiguren sehr blass. Trotzdem fand ich das Buch ganz unterhaltsam und spannend und habe es schnell gelesen.

I’m still a little conflicted about this one, because on the one hand I was really intrigued and I loved it but also I have a few things that were bugging me.
I did really really love the world building and magic system! I thought it was super cool and also how the remnants have their own connection was really interesting and I am hoping we get more of that in the future!! Plus the cities and courts, the “unexplored” north and the hunt against anyone with magic really kept me hooked.
I really loved the tension of the building relationship between Rhya and Scythe but I feel like their love language didn’t match up and they were both confused about where they are standing. At some point I unfortunately had some Tamlin flashbacks which I didn’t really love and I’m hoping will be different further along in the series, as I didn’t love how controlling he became.
I was also really intrigued by Suren and I’m still not sure where the story and relationship will go with him but I am very interested in learning more about his background.
I think my biggest problem was that the fmc read really YA for most of the book. I kind of understand why with her more sheltered from magic background but I still feel like she read and acted more like 16/17 than 20 years old.
