In a world with all magical races, the premise is basically: what if Hitler won, and his granddaughter who’s supposed to inherit his magical power slowly realizes that her family and race/species are, well… Nazis. 

It started out really rough (I mean, the MC is super privileged and doesn’t realize her race are Nazis), but I’m surprised at the character growth. Elleoren seldom has the “right” reaction and makes a lot of mistakes, but she grows. 

Still not a fan of the author’s writing style though. I really wanted to edit this one.

NHIE understood why fantasy authors have this burning desire to replicate the Nazi regime and manage to do it terribly every. single time. Please leave writing about The Third Reich to the historians and the victims.
