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. 😏🥵🥰

It took me a while to understand the book as a lot of it is written so you have absolutely no idea what is going on but trust it and it will be revealed who people are and what is going on in each chapter.

I loved the world building in this book, the beginning is somewhat action packed but the last half of the book hardly anything happens of action and instead it seems like it’s a lot of revelations and set up for the next book. That’s not to say I didn’t enjoy it but the such vast difference in pace from beginning to end made it so I couldn’t quite give it 5 stars.
It’s definitely not the end of the series and I can’t wait to see what happens next.

This book has NO CLIMAX. It basically serves as a bunch of info-dumping and poor world-building for whatever next book that’s actually going to start the action. The pacing is terrible. The writing is clunky, overly wordy, and often grammatically incorrect. It’s all telling instead of showing. The author overcomplicates everything in this world and crams in a bunch of random details and concepts that are never brought up again. This book was self-published and it was VERY obvious—no editors in sight. Don’t waste your time.

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 nächsten Bücher ein bisschen actionreicher - im ganzweltlichen Konflikt, denn tbh hatte ich das Gefühl, das Buch hat nur an der Oberfläche gekratzt, was mich excited für den nächsten Teil macht☝️

Mini Kritik: Manche Konflikte (Raeve 'accepting' that she's Elluin) wurden mir einen Ticken zu schnell gelöst🥲, das mit Kyzari war a little bit obvious, nichtsdestotrotz war ich geschockt, und anfangs war mir die Obsession von Kaan auch ein bisschen too much😔✊️ (hat sich aber später gelegt hihii)

Ansonsten aber wirklich tipitopi💗💗

The main character endures physical trauma via flashbacks; some are explicit, and some are more vague. In both cases, the emotional aspect of the trauma is gut-wrenching but an essential aspect of character development and Storytelling.

✅ Worldbuilding 
✅ Idea 
✅ Magic System 
✅ Writing Style 
✅ I enjoyed the first half of the book very much 

⛔ Half of the book was unnecessary - too much rambling 
⛔ Male Lead was not likeable 
⛔ Worldbuilding was good but just to little 
⛔ Random changes of view after 3/4 if the book
⛔ Extremely specific sex scenes 
⛔ Too little of the good things (world building, character development, consistent characters) 
⛔ Inconsistent characters (of course the female lead is suddenly helpless and not strong enough as soon as the male lead comes around - extremely unbelievably - she is a badass assassin - why is she suddenly not able to fight etc.) 
⛔ Tall, extremely strong guy, tiny female trope (I dont want to read it anymore)
