My heart is currently being squeeze by Melissa Roehrich’s talented fist. Sobbing, crying, laughing, and scratching at the door. This series is so good I’m feral
What is with these books and their endings?! Damn. I’m obsessed with how much Scarlett has grown into herself. I think some of the spicy scenes felt a bit disjointed from the plot BUT who am I to judge. Overall, such an entertaining, interesting novel. I’m looking forward to starting the third tomorrow.
I tried. I really did. I wanted to get into these books so much. I finished this one and gave them another chance, but I could not get into them. They weren’t bad at all. Just…I don’t even know. It’s probably the audiobook that I listened to, though I really enjoyed the voice actors. Or maybe it’s a fantasy slump. But I didn’t care for the characters. I didn’t care what happened to them or what came next. Maybe I will read the books some day and give them another chance when I am
In a different head space. For now, I am not continuing the series.

Leider hat mir das Buch nicht so gut gefallen wie Band 1. Das liegt vor allem an der Protagonistin Scarlet, die ich mit ihrer sturen, arroganten Art immer wieder sehr nervig finde. Auch die Kommunikation mit Sorin war so von Missverständnissen und Geheimnissen geprägt, dass sie mich zwischendurch richtig genervt hat. Insgesamt war mir die Story trotz sehr emotionalem, mitreißenden Anfang dann auch zu drüber. Entschuldigung, aber wieso vertraut sein ganzer innerer Hof ihr so schnell? am nachvollziehbarsten fand ich echt Talwyns Position lol.
Ansonsten kam mir die Story auch sehr vor wie eine Mischung aus ACOTAR und ToG, in diesem Band jedoch deutlich mehr ACOTAR. Das Pacing war für mich auch deshalb oft "off" bzw. verwirrend und ich fand es nicht ganz einfach, den ganzen Ortssprüngen zu folgen. Am Ende habe ich auch leider nicht mehr wirklich mit Scarlet und Sorin mitgefühlt, dafür aber umso mehr mitTalwyn und Azrael, ich hoffe, die kommen zusammen! Das Ende habe ich mir nach den ganzen Reviews auch etwas krasser vorgestellt, aber ich war schon überrascht und bin gespannt, wie es weitergeht - hoffentlich mit etwas Character Development für unsere lieben Protagonist:innen hinsichtlich ihrer Kommunikation!

Although I liked this a little less than the first one, I still thoroughly enjoyed it.
I think the main reason for that is that it reminds me SO MUCH of Throne of Glass - my favorite series. Especially the characters are very similar in several regards (there pretty much is an Aelin, a Rowan and a Dorian). There were a couple of reveals in this that I didn’t necessarily predict and there are many mysteries left unsolved so I am excited to continue (although I’m a little nervous the next books might fall short…).

This book was so similar to ACOMAF, so thankfully I like that book! I did think the relationship is pretty weak still and jumped about 100 steps from where they were in book 1. But I am excited to see where we go from here and I will be continuing.
