 ✨ Que vontade de pular de um penhasco com esse final! ✨

Nezha, POR QUÊ?

Sério, ver como o homem branco deseja colonizar países e destruir etnias por religião e por se sentir superior, que morte.

Vontade de gritar
Não sei se consigo ler o próximo em seguida

4.0

It’s hard to rate this book, as the writing itself is good and the world building is good, and I love how the author has tied fantasy and history together. But, the book feels longer than it needs to be. I wish there were less characters to track and more delving into the ones that have front stage, especially the women in this book. All the female characters seem very one-dimensional, even our leading lady. I think the only well-developed character in this series is Kitay. The history and lore is amazing, but wish the plot and characters were there as well.
