I’m shocked to see anyone rate this book less than 4 stars! This book was just as phenomenal as the first! Maybe a touch slower but that’s it. You see not only the war taking place around them but also the war taking place within themselves. There was so much growth in the characters and then many set backs. They struggle to get over their own pain and prejudice which lead to poor choices and betrayal. But you also saw love and sacrifice, vulnerability and hope. I loved this book and cannot wait fo

DNF @53%. 1.75 Sterne

Ich geb‘s jetzt auf. Nachdem der erste Band sehr unterhaltsam war und ich diese Fortsetzung nahtlos im Anschluss zu lesen versucht habe, kann ich mich einfach nicht weiter durch dieses Buch quälen. Ich weiss nicht was das sein sollte, aber es scheint, als wäre der zweite Band von einem komplett anderen Menschen geschrieben worden. Nicht nur, dass in den ersten paar Kapiteln gefühlt 20 neue Charaktere eingeführt werden, nein, die altbekannten Charaktere aus dem Vorgänger wirken darüber hinaus plötzlich völlig verändert und fremd, sodass ich keinen davon wirklich wiedererkennen konnte.
Hinzu kommt, dass zumindest in der ersten Hälfte des Buches absolut nichts passiert? Die Ereignisse aus dem ersten Band, die einem klaren roten Faden gefolgt sind, spielen hier kaum mehr eine Rolle. Und der zweite Band folgt scheinbar gar keinen Plot mehr…?
Was ist hier zwischen Band 1 und 2 passiert? Wurde dieser zweite Band von einem Ghostwriter geschrieben? Oder von einer AI? Es erinnert weder der Schreibstil, noch die Charaktere, noch der Plot an den Vorgänger. So etwas habe ich in einer zusammenhängendene Reihe wirklich noch nie erlebt.

Ich lasse es jetzt sein und Band 3, der in Kürze erscheint, werde ich natürlich auch nicht mehr lesen.

I went back and forth with this one, but in the end I loved the character’s arcs. It took me awhile because Zelie and Amari gave me whiplash with all their drama, but I have to admit they both came into their characters perfectly. Now I’m just ticked I have to wait so long for the final novel.
