Also for all the people who recommended this book because of the romance, you had to be making shit up because the romance sucked. Not to say the romance came out of nowhere, because I knew it was going to happen, but there was absolutely no build up at all. I didn't care for any of the characters, which is besides the point because they also had no chemistry at all. I truly don't understand what Gáspár liked about Évike because she was honestly dumb as fuck. She had no common sense and no sense of self preservation. She absolutely refused to think before any of her actions, even when Gáspár explicitly explains how she'd make the situation worse. She also spends majority of the book belittling Gáspár, and constantly attacking him on how she thinks he's ashamed they've laid and slept together, even though they have so many other things to worry about. He literally tries to get her to think before doing something rash and getting them both killed and she accuses him of fearing people will found out he's no longer pure. Like be fucking fr.
The book also touches on religious/ethical/moral themes but honestly with the messy plot and execution, flat characters, and confusing narration, I honestly don't know what the take away was supposed to be.

The pacing was kinda all over the place, sometimes taking forever for anything to happen, and then bam 5 things have happened and we’re 1000 miles away. This particularly happens with travel.
The magic system is really cool and I like how it develops throughout the book and gets added to.

cronchbonch's review against another edition
The antisemitism is hard to get through.
Evike is drawn sexually to her captor and i'm not sure why. The romance really kills it for me.
Moderate: Antisemitism
There is a group of people that are not called jews but every stereotype of them is put on to these people. Author did a copy paste of existing stuff into the world. If i wanted that i would just talk to people.
