Como punto negativo diría que me hubiese gustado más que se desarrollasen más cosas de los distintos países conquistados por el imperio y sus respectivas culturas, ya que a lo largo de la novela se dan pinceladas sueltas pero no se llega a profundizar, lo que me dejaba a veces un poco perdida y con ganas de saber más para entender mejor el transfondo de los personajes.
Además de la trama del Imperio, me gusta que también se centre en el desarrollo de las protagonistas y que vaya incluyendo nuevos POVs en cada parte del libro (es un recurso que no había visto hasta ahora).
Tiene algunas escenas un poco duras y graficas que la verdad no me esperaba porque es bastante juvenil, así que lo dejo avisado para que no os pase como a mí.
He visto que hay segunda parte y, aunque cambian las protagonistas, lo leeré próximamente porque tengo ganas de que seguir un poco más en este mundo (y ver si ahí se pueden conocer más cosas) 👀
En general, me parece una lectura muy entretenida y super fácil y rápida de leer que creo que merece mucho la pena que más gente la conozca 🤍

I feel like there was a bit of a lull towards the end? Or the action was weird? Or maybe that was just me. (first full book I read with Covid) But the ending mostly made up for it. I'm definitely interested in reading book 2, at some point this year.

Mind the content warnings. This was significantly more graphic than I expected from a YA book.
