5/5 stars
1.5/5 spice
I loved it. It was just... wow.
Highly recommend for fans of fantasy with a romantic subplot and diverse characters. Such a fun read that I would recommend to anyone, even first-time fantasy readers. The world building is easy to follow with a unique magical system.
I thought this was a YA fantasy series, but with the graphic scenes of violence, torture, and mild sexual content, I'd say it's good for the mature 16+
Trigger/Content warnings:
Violence from war, torture, injury details, bigotry, emotional and physical abuse, manipulation, exploitation of a child, death of a parent, mild sexual content

I binged this book in 1-2 days but by the time I was finished reading, I just felt a little disappointed. This book was great at keeping me hooked but it felt a little underwhelming.

I do not have words for this. What a breathtaking, action-packed and hopeful conclusion of the Hollow Crown duology. Highly recommend if you're into court intrigues, high stakes fights, found family and enemies to lovers tropes. Will now proceed to read Zoraida Córdovas other books and most likely obsess over this duology some more and get the German copies as well ;)

What a great conclusion to this duology. I especially loved the epilogue and how the tone of the story changed as it went on. But that epilogue? Ugh. I'd really love to see more written in this world -- more about the future than anything else.
