I mean, this was fine? The beginning of this book was action-packed and fairly fun, considering it was Avatar the Last Airbender-coded. I was getting a kick at trying to figure out who was the character inspo for each and thought maybe, JUST MAYBE, this was a Zuko and gender-bent Aang fanfic (like pls, anything was better than the canon romances ngl).
But ehhhh, unfortunately this didn't quite hit as great for me as some other ATLA-inspired stories. Much of the book was a whole lot of nothing happening, and when things did happen, it got fairly formulaic. Rhya gets into trouble, gets pushed to her limit, and suddenly her powers come in clutch and then someone comes in to make sure Rhya doesn't get completely obliterated by her overuse of her power. It literally took 300-something pages for the romance to get anywhere, too, and when it did, it was out of pocket, as there'd been no prior indication that Rhya actually LIKED the dude. She spent literally most of the book prior to "their moment" being annoyed by the LI's antics--for good reason--yet somehow it gets thrown out the window for a fair bit of snagging.
So yeah. I guess it was fine, but for me it didn't quite hold up as much as I'd have liked.

Solide vier Sterne.
Das Worldbuilding und Magic System haben mich überzeugt. Ich fand die Story wirklich lesenswert, auch wenn ich mir ein wenig mehr drive gewünscht hätte, aber das liegt eben am Romanceplot des Buches. Der hat mich nämlich leider ein bisschen enttäuscht. Ich fand es sehr offensichtlich welchen turn die Story nehmen wird und konnte mich deshalb ab circa der Hälfte des Buches nicht mehr auf das (noch) zentrale Liebespaar konzentrieren, wodurch sich das Buch zum Ende hin ein wenig gezogen hat. Die verschiedenen Charaktere, die Dialoge und zunehmend auch den FMC haben mich aber in ihren Bann gezogen und ich hätte JETZT gerne Buch 2
