Good world-building, and I liked the characters for the most part; but some things seemed a little problematic, like

Mia’s plastic surgery and the portrayal of the Dweymeri (who were the only people of color in the entire book).

4.5

The excessive footnoting can get a bit too clever and I can’t say I disagree with the “magical boob job” criticisms and the way the stakes are significantly lowered when someone capable of healing all wounds and injuries is introduced, but all in all I loved this book. I love our heroine and how she walks the line between morally gray and not. She’s also legitimately clever, not just a protagonist the author repeatedly tells us is clever. Several moments in the book made me gasp out loud with surprise. This book is VERY dark and gorey but stays just shy of gorey for gores-sake. Deep world building and I look forward to the sequel.

I would have given this book 5 stars, but the beginning felt like a really long intro and took awhile to get going imo

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!!!!!
