Arcane is probably my favourite tv show and so I really wanted to love this but I just didn't. Reading this book felt like a bit of a chore the whole way through. I enjoyed the side characters more than Ambessa as I knew we weren't really going to get any character development with her. The story was good enough to keep me reading.

this one’s for the girls with complicated relationships with their mother


Ambessa was so easy to hate in arcane and while she does a lot of also morally bad stuff in this book, i can’t help but love her. THIS is how you write a very complex character.
she’s so ruthless to everyone and is serious as hell when she says ”A wolf has no mercy.” but she’s also a mother and her complicated relationship with Mel and Kino is driven by her fierce love for them and was written well.

also MEL I LOVE MEL! her pov’s were some of my favorites, she’s trying so hard to prove her strength. and finally getting some answers about her birth father and her tattoo’s was great.

i also haven’t played League of Legends a day in my life and don’t plan to but i would love to read more about Rell, plus i do love me a little sapphic romance and i though hers with Tora was so cute.

RIOT GAMES PLEASE GIVE ME MORE NOVELS ON ARCANE CHARACTERS

Ambessa is about a character who is an interesting antagonist but far from an interesting protagonist.
