3.75 ⭐️⭐️⭐️✨
I didn’t hate this book, but I didn’t love it. A majority of the story was really entertaining, and I enjoyed reading it, however, I felt like a good chunk of this book was just filler. I understand that she was trying to get us to really feel where Diem was at in her life for her to have her redemption arc at the end, but I would’ve liked the redemption arc to be the last 200 pages not the last 75. I also felt like a certain characters just don’t have really any point to be in there. They don’t drive the story forward and they don’t help the characters grow or develop further. A.k.a. Henri. Like he should’ve just died. Lol sorry but true.
I also could not handle how awful she was to Luther compared to everybody else all the time. It just felt like really unnecessary and also didn’t help to drive the plot forward. It felt like we were constantly in a circle. I also don’t understand like really why her mom is such an important figure. Like I know she is, but she only has an appearance at the very end of the book and it seems like she’s kind of evil? I’m really debating if I want to continue with the series because I don’t think I could handle another book like the second one.
And what was that with her powers? Like she literally just could do nothing the entire book. I read 500 pages of her basically doing nothing the whole time. I was hoping that we would get a lot of magic the second book. Because it wasn’t something we had a lot of in the first one. But unfortunately, I was disappointed.

It felt like a big swing in plot from the previous book in the series, but I didn’t hate that

Everything I needed. Top tier tension all round
⭐️⭐️⭐️,5
Ik heb echt even moeten nadenken over mijn rating voor dit boek, want hoewel er stukken tussen zaten die ik heel tof vond, waren er ook stukken waar ik me irriteerde.
Het verhaal voelde namelijk heel erg voorspelbaar, en Diem was regelmatig irritant in de keuzes die ze maakte. De quotes van Luther daarentegen: I think I am in love with this man.
Met hoe dit boek eindigt en het feit dat Diem eindelijk wat meer lijkt te wennen aan haar rol heb ik hoop dat boek 3 minder repetitive gaat aanvoelen en de irritante keuzes (hopelijk) ook zullen verdwijnen.
Al met al niet mijn favoriete boek/serie helaas, maar wel vermakelijk genoeg om door te willen lezen.
