Tohle byla hrůza. Vážně. První díl se mi celkem líbil, zaujal mě nápad platit krví a celkově to bylo hodně originální. Jenže postupem času se příběh začal schylovat k něčemu, co už mi tak super nepřipadalo. No a druhý díl a zároveň i velký závěr to totálně zabil.
V téhle knize se snad nestalo vůbec nic. Hlavní hrdinka byla úplně mimo. Stále jen utíkala před Čarodějkou, chvíli brečela, pak zas utíkala a strašně moc se snažila vyřešit záhadu, o které stejně ona sama věděla nejmíň... za zmínku stojí romantická linka, ta byla k smíchu... já ani nevím, zda se jedné muchlovačce dá říkat romantická linka...
Jednu hvězdičku kniha dostala za to, že jsem ji úspěšně přečetla až do konce. Že jsem to vůbec vydržela. Takže jsem jí vlastně za tu trpělivost dala sobě. Teď vážně... stačil vám k přečtení jen první díl. Zbytek si domyslete, ať si to zbytečně nekazíte Panstvím zášti a lásky. Dohodnuto?

What a very sad, tragic, but fantastic ending to an intriguing story! Highly underrated and high recommend this duology.

Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️
Main Character: Jules. She is very similar to the previous book. She's driven to protect those around her above all else. I wish we had been able to see more change in her character. Especially wish she would learn she can allow others to make choices the way she wants to be able to freely make choices without manipulating and tricking people to do as she wishes.
Love Interest: Liam. The love interest in revealed, but we don't learn much more about his character. It's even something the novel itself comments on - Liam is unknown to the protagonist, which makes the eventual romance even more disappointing.
Romance: After having essentially no romance in the first novel, the sequel was well set up for a slow-burn between these two characters, who have moved from enemies to partners. But Liam has been in love with Jules since before the book began, and Jules also falls quickly but spends 80% of the book denying it. So overall, it just wasn't satisfying.
Relationship Status at Book End:

First book was so good and I had my hoped up but felt like the author didnt put as much effort into the characters and their relationships as well as character development in this one. Didn't finish it.
