challenging dark emotional sad tense medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? It's complicated
  • Loveable characters? Yes
  • Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

4.5

Read books, they say.
It's fun, they say.

My heart 💔
This was f*cking brutal!
No one is safe in this series. The tears I've cried...

I read about 50pages/hour so I spent the last hunded pages, in other words, 2 hours, crying. 

I've just bought Hire, that is set up in the same world if I’m correct. But I will have to wait with that one a bit. Have to read something lighter to cleanse and heal my heart first. 

In other words I really liked this series! Didn’t know what to expect, and it was so much more than I thougt!

The political power struggles through the series was so good and well written in my opinion.
The romance takes the back seat, but the story is still driven by love. Love to your people, to your family, friends and to fight for what you believe in, and for a better world and equaly for everyone. 
And the cruelness of war and thurst for power made me gasp and want to throw the book serveral times. 

So read it, if you want your heart broken.
Read it if you like storys where a "lesser" people fight for their freedom and rightfull place in the world. 

It will be fun, I say 🙃
