Historia normalilla. Abandonado porque personajes femeninos ya se sentían algo objetivizados en las descripciones y luego llegó el rape backstory + futura violación que me dejó mal cuerpo y no porque estuviese bien escrito.

An interesting story mixing a Roman setting with Pokémon. I loved the idea and the setting resulting from this.
I read the German translation and, unfortunately, you can tell, while reading, that it's a translation, which takes you out of it a little.

4.0

A pretty solid fantasy romp, with some relatively interesting magic mechanics.
I was initially impressed by the introduction of two women without being given a description of their breasts, though this was quickly rectified. Despite this, and some very uncomfortable sexual violence the book generally and ultimately depicted most of its characters pretty well in service of the story and inter-character relationships.

Great intro into the world setting, characters, and the beginning of their state of emergency. As great as this book was, I was surprised to find it wasn't the best of the series as kept reading the rest. So character development starts here, but continues through the rest of the series.
