Serè algo ambigua por ser el segundo libro.
Empieza con muy buen ritmo aunque a veces sentìa que decaì un poquito pero de inmediato volvìa agarrar el ritmo.
Los personajes si tuvieron un desarrollo y crecimiento, algunos los sentìa de adorno que no aportan a la trama lo cual lamento ya que se podìan aprovechar màs.
Algo que disfrute fue leer todos los secretos que se iban relevando y me dejaron en shock.
Toda la trama estuvo genial me mantuvo en tensiòn todo el tiempo aunque el final me dejó satisfecha pero no fue mi favorito se resolvìo rápido y conveniente para los personajes.
Algo que si me queda claro es que yo voy a leer todo lo que escriba Carissa Broadbent su forma de escribir me dejo encantada, si ella me pasa su lista del super me la leo fascinada.

i think i need to bite the bullet on this one.
i stopped reading it after it was revealed thatthe bracelet was the key to the god-map thing . i just got major ick...like the answer felt so unearned, total mcguffin vibes. and i get it, i really do -- the bracelet is meaningful more in a character growth sense and symbolic of oraya's personal journey grappling with her past. i'm not blind to that; i mean, oraya outright tells us so immediately after! i just wish that this story would stop pretending to be an epic fantasy with serious plot. there are many books that can balance both great character explorations and great plot (often enriching each other!), but this does not seem to be one of them. i was hoping to take a break and come back to it at some point, if only to say i did it... but it's been like a month and a half atp. i keep procrastinating picking it back up. and who knows, maybe i will one day! but i think putting this on the DNF shelf will let me breathe easier.
on a side note: idk whether the worldbuilding (which DID finally occur, thank goodness) can be counted as plagiarism of SJM? or is ACOTAR just like romantasy's LOTR now?? will sensitive bat wings, huge age gap romances and this weirdly specific inheritance system for the throne just become the romantasy norm, like how elves and dwarves are the fantasy norm?

No me gustó como se llevaba al inicio, me mostraron un Rainh con el que no conecté en ese momento pero luego lo amé como siempre. De Oraya (mi mujer) no tengo quejas.
Y Rainh, mi amor, deja de morirte ¿quieres? esta es la última vez que te lloro

I really enjoyed this book. It was a little bit slow in parts but overall a great read.
The story had a great conclusion which set the universe up for more, while still nicely closing the chapter ('scuse the pun) on the King and Queen. I also really appreciated that the main characters didn't always win. It was a refreshing change and meant the book wasn't flooded with deus ex machina - although I'll be honest there were still a few "where is s/he? Any moment now... Ah yep there it is" moments...
My only real gripe with the book would be the number of near death experiences the characters go through, before either partaking in fairly rambunctious sex or marching off to another battle in the space of less than a week. I know, I know "magic healing potions", but it still started to get a little ridiculous...
Overall loved the book and will likely read the next one in the universe.

I think there definitely were some aspects that felt like tired tropes but overall it was an enjoyable read. I didn’t expect how we got to the ending. The rejection of Nyaxia then the goddess of lost things granting her wish was very unexpected. Even if I didn’t expect how the ending came to be it was exactly what I expected with some added drama to lead into the next duology
