L’univers était créatif mais je ne me suis pas attachée aux personnages

The beginning is kinda slow and it does not come close to Harry Potter, but I overall really liked it. The world building is really well done, I can picture the story in my head easily.
Though I did not like thorn and his whole „I’m a bad dude you will never like me and I’m unfriendly af“ attitude.
Still, I can’t wait to read the second part.

This was interesting! Wacky world building which was fun but the YA-ness of it all wasn’t really for me

Un univers fascinant mais des personnages qui sont peu développés. Anima est censée être une matriarchie et pourtant, les femmes restent des pions dans des alliances matrimoniales et sont mariées contre leur gré. Personnellement, j'appelle cela le patriarcat

This book was painful to get through. I had high expectations but they were somehow not met… I’ll come back to it and actually finish reading it - but it sadly was a hassle to read. I like Ophelia though. That’s why I gave it 2 stars

The writing was beautiful even having this be my second read of this novel. Getting the world building and understanding of political intrigue and imbalance in this world at the same time as Ophelia makes it a lot easier to interpret and connect with throughout and makes the journey of the book more enjoyable. I am excited to see how this book series continues and I want more of the supreme slowburn between Thorn and Ophelia. I also adore Ophelia with my whole heart.
