The audio production on this is magnificent, I quickly became addicted. I honestly didn't even realize how long this book is until I happened to see the physical copy in store one day. The world building, the slow unraveling of secrets, the perfect tension between the characters...ah!!! I knew there had to be a cliffhanger coming but it left me excited to read the next in the series rather than angry or disappointed with the direction of the story. Nothing but praise for this book. 
Kaan jumped to my top spot of favorite book boyfriends. đŸ˜đŸ„”đŸ„°

The writing in this book was incredible! Lush and descriptive combined with gritty and harsh adds such a beautiful contrast.

The plot and the world setting were fantastic! Our main character is a badass assassin but unfortunately has the traits of “everyone who comes close to me dies” and doesn’t trust a single soul. She grows a little in the book, but hopefully book two will have more significant character growth.

I read this as an audiobook so I missed a couple things from the story but it was so good I’m definitely going to physically read this at some point!

It took me some time to get into the book. There is a lot of world building. I felt like I was thrown in and had to sink or swim. The glossary was life saving. 

At first, I felt like I didn’t understand all the emotions and flashbacks Raeve was feeling, but it made more sense as I read. Often I found myself frustrated with Raeve. 
But OF COURSE I continued reading and found out she was the way she was because of past experiences and she wasn’t being obtuse for the hell of it. She was the way she was to protect others.


Kaan was a great character. Very patient! I hope there is a nicely wrapped up book 2 with a happy ending.

OMG... dieses Buch hat eine obsession in mir ausgelöst - es ist nicht mehr normal😭

Erstens: Das Worldbuilding?! omfg, so ein interessantes Konzept! Die Lore, die Wesen, die CHARAKTERE?!! I ate every single bit of this book up!

KAAN VAEGORR... HELLOO?! Dieser Mann gibt mir so krasse Lorcan (ToG) Vibes, it's unbearable😭😭



Any lost opportunity to worship you is a tragedy.

...I SAT.


Hopefully werden die nĂ€chsten BĂŒcher ein bisschen actionreicher - im ganzweltlichen Konflikt, denn tbh hatte ich das GefĂŒhl, das Buch hat nur an der OberflĂ€che gekratzt, was mich excited fĂŒr den nĂ€chsten Teil macht☝



Mini Kritik: Manche Konflikte (Raeve 'accepting' that she's Elluin) wurden mir einen Ticken zu schnell gelöstđŸ„Č, das mit Kyzari war a little bit obvious, nichtsdestotrotz war ich geschockt, und anfangs war mir die Obsession von Kaan auch ein bisschen too muchđŸ˜”âœŠïž (hat sich aber spĂ€ter gelegt hihii)



Ansonsten aber wirklich tipitopi💗💗

DID NOT FINISH: 64%

 I really wanted to love this. I’m so disappointed. This has so much potential. 😭I enjoyed the author’s writing. I liked the action scenes. However, there’s about 350 pages worth of plot in this book,and it’s 690 pages long.  I just can’t slog through an overblown book. For that reason, I just can’t keep going. Will I try another book by this author? Probably. I just hope her next series is less drawn out.
