(3.5 stars but feels like 4)
Still better than Throne of Glass. Also I love, LOVE Ari and Janco.

I can't even leave a review right now. The book blew me away

Prettig verrast door dit eerste boek in de "Studies" serie. Yelena is een pakkende vrouw die me wel aanspreekt.

This is the best thing I've read in aaaaaaages. Yelena is so cool, the world is super interesting, the magic is so different and there were a ton of really amazing elements that just made this story so versatile. Can't wait to pick up the next book.

This story really pulled me in. I found myself really invested in Yelena's survival and her struggle and enjoyed the relationship between her and Valek. While what she's going through is enough to make me sympathetic, I thought it was interesting how the story being written in first person definitely heightens the sense of being engaged with her.
