Cliffhanger un po' prevedibile e world building semplice, adatto a lettori fantasy neofiti. Molto carina la storia e ben scritto

Slightly reminded me of throne of glass (very vaguely) and helped me get out of a book slump. Loved the plot twist at the end and picking up little clues that were true throughout the book. Definitely recommend!

This book has pages where I was laughing at banter, on the edge of my seat with worry, and engrossed in the story all the way through. There were plot twists and things that I didn’t expect, and a few times I expected the main character to die. Fully recommend.

Kind of a bit of a slow start for me, but wow was I hooked by the end! I picked up the sequel immediately, which is kind of rare for me these days. This is definitely YA fantasy, but it’s still set in a deathly prison, so pretty dark at times. It’s not quite like anything else I’ve read, which is always a plus. The last 100 pages are wild and there were multiple twists that I absolutely did NOT see coming. Quite remarkable! It will be so interesting to see how this plot progresses over the next book and how the world building will deepen.

I got so invested in this book and its characters. I thought I had guessed the plot twist and was just riding that wave but I never expected those revelations. 
I have NEVER read a book with a plot twist that was well hidden and put together so flawlessly that I left my guard down and genuinely stopped breathing.
I just can't think of any words to describe what I'm feeling right now...
