Das Ende war zwar nicht weniger gewaltvoll, doch wenigstens hat es geschafft, dass ich mich zumindest ansatzweise dafür interessiere, wie es wohl weitergeht. Ob ich den 2. Teil irgendwann lesen wollen würde weiß ich aber noch nicht...

Slight spoily and graphic +18 hints in this paragraph, proceed with caution! ⚠️ The fact that we spend 30% of this book waiting for a SA, only for her to be free, only then, yet again we spend another 20% of the book waiting for another SA - this whole thing is leaving me kinda “….??” I think perhaps I have issue with the “obsessively dumping trauma after trauma on your MC until they break and become super strong and can fight the oppressive war because now they understand the oppression of the people”. I really do hate it. I’ll say it. I think trauma dumping on characters until they are “worthy” leaders or power forces in a rebellion is silly and boring. I wish we could find better motivation without the concept of repeated SA? The author literally HOOKED the concept of poverty on a line for the MC to gobble up and feed her rage but it doesn’t matter because BAM let’s assault someone again.
Maybe book two will hook me. One can only hope.

poempelnator's review against another edition
I was straight up not having a good time.
I don't need fiction, if I wanna read about women being degraded and humiliated.
I didn't wanna judge too soon so I watched a summary/recap of the next two books so I can assume - it does not get better.
Even if you'd say "oh but it's dark fantasy so you're just weak" I think it's not well written. It's not intriguing. I don't care for the characters. I wasn't entertained.
