Reviews with content warning for Cannibalism - Lightlark

Habe >100 Seiten gebraucht um reinzukommen, das lag hauptsächlich am Schreibstil, der einiges zu Wünschen übrig gelassen hat.
Das Buch ist teils chaotisch und sprunghaft geschrieben & die angepriesene Enemies to Lovers Lovestory kaum vorhanden.

Ab ca. Seite 100 habe ich das Buch in einem Stück bis zum Ende gelesen. Sprich die Spannung war gut & ich wollte wissen wie es ausgeht, jedoch hat der Schreibstil, die an und für sich tolle Idee/Geschichte des Buches zerstört. Tolle Idee, schlechte Umsetzung.

Lese jetzt trotzdem Band 2 Nightbane, da ich es schon zuvor gekauft hatte. Bin gespannt ob es besser wird als Band 1.

This book was a bit like the Hunger Games meets the fantasy world with a little less killing. Really enjoyable YA book that was a fast paced easy read. I was left trying to work out who was the traitor throught finding all had a good reason.

I listened to this as an audio book and probably my favourite narration to date. In particular I really enjoyed the voices she attributed to each character.

Ended on an annoying cliff hanger which is my main complaint.

I thought that even though Isla’s age wasn’t precisely defined, and perhaps she was legally an adult, having her love interest literally centuries older than her felt icky. Also, the curses endured by the various kingdoms were not at all in proportion to each other. One kingdom simply loses the ability to fly, while another one must regularly eat human hearts in order to survive, and will die if they fall in love. I find it almost impossible to imagine a society where people exist on eating human hearts. Even if a person only eats one a month, it means twelve other people have to die every single year of that person’s life. It just doesn’t feel sustainable. Yes, it’s fiction, but I can’t suspend my disbelief quite that far.
