This was SO FUCKING GOOD. I’ve been craving a fantasy book that feels like this for so long. The atmosphere that is created is so dark and magical and wondrous. 

I loved the multiple pov and all of the characters and I can’t wait to learn even more about them in the future books. 

I think so people might feel that some of the plot was too obvious, but I felt like it was so perfectly set into place throughout the book to have the perfect level of intrigue. 

This book is truly magic, just the the book the story surrounds. I can’t wait to get my hands on the sequel

This magic system and world is so unique and compelling, with the main characters facing a sinister challenge and I loved that. I also appreciated that we had dual POV from both Emory and Baz, but if I’m being honest I’m over having a female protagonist in fantasy who falls for the guy who is so clearly evil and out to get her that I started to dislike Emory and prefer Baz’s story and arc. I want to read the second book to see what happens to him and Kai and at this point have little interest in Emory’s fate.

DNF - Nope, dieses Buch ist einfach nichts für mich.

Zuerst einmal hat sich der Einstieg in die Geschichte sehr lang gezogen, was - okay, Fantasy Buch - auch mal klar geht. Allerdings hat mich nichts richtig packen können: die Mondmagie, die zu Beginn sehr interessant wirkte, hat mich dann doch eher weniger angesprochen als erwartet und die Gedankengänge bzw. inneren Monologe der Charaktere waren stark repetitiv. Ab einem Punkt hat es mich nur noch genervt, dass Romie ja in allem so perfekt und immer beliebt war, während Emory immer nur die mittelmäßige Heilerin ist. Und spätestens nach dem fünften Mal habe ich dann auch verstanden, dass Baz ein schüchterner Bücherwurm ist, der keine tolle Zeit durchmacht, weil alle Leute aus seinem Leben anscheinend nicht aufhören können ihn zu verlassen. Der einzige Charakter, der mich interessiert hat war Kai. Doch leider hat sich das Buch so schleppend lesen lassen, dass selbst Kai mich nicht davon abhalten konnte, dieses Buch abzubrechen.

Schade, ich hatte mich auf das Buch gefreut.
