Wow, qué libro TAN bueno… no sé qué tipo de droga le ha metido Jay Kristoff a este libro, porque sin duda ha sido una total adicción. No podía parar de leer y mis horas de sueño han sido descontroladas porque necesitaba saber qué pasaba en cada momento… es que he sido incapaz de soltar este libro.
Mia es sin duda uno de los mejores personajes que he leído en toda mi vida y Don Majo es LO MEJOR con sus comentarios sarcásticos y la amistad y cariño que tienen entre ambos🖤 y Tric me ha enamorado perdidamente.
No puedo esperar más a seguir leyendo los siguientes libros, tengo tantas preguntas sin respuesta😭😭 ¡¡¡¡¡necesito saber qué pasa!!!!!

I am in love with the descriptive writing style and the sassy humour in this. The world is incredibly well built, the characters as well.
While the many footnotes could be very entertaining, they interrupted the reading flow a bit at times.
I'm definitely gonna get the other books of the series.

I enjoyed this very much! I would compare it to Throne of Glass by Sarah J. Maas, but by the end of the first novel you can tell they won't be taking the same path past the first novels in the series. The characters were very well developed with their own personalities, but sometimes they play one-note, however this is only book 1/3! The plot was somewhat predictable but takes some interesting turns you wouldn't otherwise expect! This book opens

with a sex scene, so if that's not for you take it into consideration! I was able to run past it very quickly but I would say that it was somewhat important. Other sex scenes in the novel I wouldn't deem necessary to read in full so they can easily be skipped

One of the races of people in this series has some cultural appropriation of natives, specifically with body/war tattoos. Not specifically mentioned to be modelled after any specific people but it is implied to be referencing darker skinned natives when the author is not himself.

i didn't like the sexualization of the teenagers in this book. the writing is good; the narration is incredibly unique in a good way so the book only lost points in my book for underage kids being wayyyyy too sexualized. the book (in my opinion i haven't read the others yet) would be ultimately unchanged if the author had aged up the kids 4-7 years (or if they just didn't write an explicit sex scenes between minors)
