4.12 AVERAGE


This second book was a lot better than the first one. Present tense wasn't as annoying and as the characters got more detailed it was easier to like them. And in the end I was genuinely sad when Ida died and relieved when Matilda appeared and Ida apparently only "died," not really. There happens so much and a lot if the magic is against the magic rules in this series I can't keep up and I doubt even the authors can. But now I'm totally hooked and can't wait to finish the series. To see if Vanessa and Linnéa end up together, if Ida comes back from the dead, and if she does is it her or Minoo who gets Gustaf. One thing that greatly annoys me is how everyone is always "in love" with their crushes. Isn't "liking" a thing at all? Hate to break it to your 16-18 year assed, The Chosen Ones, but you probably don't know shit about being "in love." Anyway, I'm glad I gave "Eld" a chance even "Cirkeln" wasn't that good. So 2,5 stars for Cirkeln, 3,25 for Eld.

5.0

Noch besser als Teil 1, super spannend und nach dem Ende bin ich umso gespannter auf Teil 3!

The actual rating is 4,5. Really, really close to five stars. But not really.

Underbar! Om möjligt ännu bättre än första, spännande, fin och underbart välskriven. Mycket mer romans vilket uppskattas, nya upptäckter och hela tiden nya saker som avslöjas.
Jag fick lära känna alla karaktärer på ett nytt djup och jag är helt kär i alla utvalda och fullkomligt älskar hur de ständigt utvecklas.
När jag väl började läsa kunde jag inte sluta, den blir aldrig tråkig och det byts ständigt perspektiv.
Jag har lett som en idiot, gråtit några skvättar, gapat av förvåning och skrikit i frustration. Det går inte att ogilla denna bok.
Dags att dra igång tredje och sista boken, förväntansfull och spänd. Vet inte om jag klarar fler dödsfall men jag har ett hopp om att de kommer klara det!

Jag är helt knockad av den här boken! Första gången jag läser serien och jag kan inte vänta på att få läsa seriealbumet och sista boken som är kvar nu!

Really liked this one! I feel like it was a great sequel to "Cirkeln", it was just as good. It was interesting the whole time and was always fun to read even though it was kind of long. I'm really looking forward to reading the last part of the trilogy!

I enjoyed this book quite a bit, it was such a quick read and I felt like I just couldn't put it down as it is so action packed!
I'm sure I would've given it 5 stars if it weren't for some aspects in the book that I cannot reveal because you would get spoiled!
I'm definitely picking up the final book in this trilogy as soon as I can
