Bella l'idea della trama, ma non mi ha entusiasmato. Certi passaggi sembravano inseriti per allungare un po' la trama e assolutamente bocciato il finale.
Va bene lasciare spazio per un seguito, ma questo finale l'ho trovato estremamente inconcludente, diciamo che finisce sul più bello, proprio quando la storia inizia a prendere forma.

This book has been on my tbr for a long time and I finally decided to read it during the holidays.
I was excited to read it but was a bit disappointed as you can see by my rating.
I had heard the complaints about the author’s writing style being “pretentious”, however I felt like it went well with the characters, the plot and I wasn’t put off by it. It sometimes, made the magic system hard to understand but overall I liked it and it suited the story.
I was more disappointed with the characters. At first, I was really invested in their lives and their feelings however, as the story progressed I found myself being quite bored of their antics and not really caring about their fates anymore. I don’t know why but after a while it felt more like teenager trying to act like adults rather than adults being in their 20s.
Moreover, the last 20% of the book were so fast-paced with so many revelations, it felt sudden since the rest had been more medium-paced.
Overall, I liked the book but I think my expectations were too high since it had been on my tbr for years.
