phrogonalilypad's review against another edition

It's believed "Woman born" cant kill the big bads... And it's not explained why that's thought... Like even if this is ever proven wrong in the books... de Leóns general attitude towards even the women he "cares" about this far is reading as pretty misogynistic... Like to even name a mare Jezebel, after a biblically evil woman in a biblically coded book... Just seems unnecessary. I know Kristoff likes to be edgy but if this was 100% intentional I at this point don't even want to find the intention... It's just a bit too much for me.

A little less misogyny and I'd probably be hooked tbh

Might pick it up later and try again but... My interest continues to wane unfortunately.

There is some amazing artworks in this book though!

I'd probably rate this around a 2.5/5 stars. There was a lot of good, a lot of bad, a lot of ick, and a lot of unnecessary plot twists... but it was still pretty entertaining I guess.

wrensreadingroom's review against another edition

I made it to book 2 chapter 4 and the main character is is incredibly unlikeable and honestly kinda whiny that i had to just give up. Also there is hardly any action as well. Like 3 cool parts up till this point. The rest is like lore and politics
