Nečekaně milé překvapení. Ke Griše jsem se dostala s desetiletým zpožděním, takže jsem měla obavy, aby to trochu nepokroutilo můj dojem, ale k tomu vůbec nedošlo. Ano, zpočátku jsem si říkala, že je to takové jednoduché, Alina je klasická hlavní postava YA, co v té době vycházelo, všechno jede nějak prapodivně rychle... a přesto se přiznám, že ten zvrat za půlkou jsem nečekala :D Na zadek z toho nesednu, ale bavilo mě to a na pokračování jsem zvědavá.

Jen ta počeštěná ruština a severské jazyky byly jako pěst na oko, au. Ono je hezké, že se autorka inspiruje ve skutečném světě, ale prostě mi to tam vůbec nesedělo; v originále to možná vyzní trochu líp, ale nevím, vůbec mi to nezapadalo do vystavěného světa. (A toto už je vyloženě věc překladu; proč se počeštila jen některá jména? A taky zrovna nefandím cpaní našeho -ová hrdinkám ve fantasy knihách, natož když se to taky udělá blbě. Starkovová, když už...)

This was a rather "meh" read, in my opinion. It held my attention, and the audio book version was a nice listen, but it was rather disappointing that the main character didn't get alot of "HELL YEAH" moments.
The whole thing with the stag also felt a bit weird. It played a big part of the end game, but didn't feel like it got a proper lead up.

3/5. Not a bad read, not a favorite.

broooo 4.5/5 this book was so good im actually shocked usually im not into ya and def not into fantasy so when i picked this up the first 50 pages were so boring but then it picked up and never slowed down again i really loved this book i felt all the emotions the storytelling is really good and i actually understood what was going on also i feel like this was a perfect first book it did what all first books of series should do and set up the next books well i read a library copy but i might buy it also idk why but the darklings ideology and this whole kingdom set up gave me major AOT vibes
