I really enjoyed this book, i don’t think it’s as good people make it out to be but a great book nonetheless. Will definitely be reading the sequel!

The plot is action packed but it only advances by a series of fortunate occurrences disguised as an intelligent plan, which just broke my suspension of disbelief constantly. 

The characters are teenagers and are way too adult in some things but way too childish in other, so to me the characters aren't built in a way that makes sense. 

The characters are diverse, but still they brush over slavery, forced prostitution and rape whereas they focus on the trauma of the main guy a lot more, and the 2 female characters are both in awe and take care of their male counterparts that treat them badly. 

Then the story of Nina and Mathjias, he's basically a nazi soldier yet the book puts Nina's wrongdoings at the same level as his, when she's from a minority that's being prosecuted, enslaved and killed all over. 

I won't be reading more of these books, very disappointing. I don't understand the hype except if it's from people that don't read much and this is one of the first fantasy books they read.
