This book increased it's intensity from start to finish and had me hooked!
This book has a lot of long sentences that I struggled with a lot at the beginning. I started this book on deep fatigue days and I couldn't make out what was being said. However as the book went on I started to understand the flow better and better and became to actually love the long sentences. They held a lot of feeling and deep thoughts, and at the same time gave so much color and detail to the same time. It gave the book a lot of character and I really enjoyed that.
The story starts of a bit slower too. It gives us a look into the day to day life of Ash. And while she isn't an ordinary person in the city Drenthe her the book starts of on an fairly ordinary day for her. This gave me the time to get used to this very unique world with an awesome magic/abilities system. When I grasped that enough the book ramped up the intensity immediately with introducing Lina.
Oh how I loved Lina. She is such a bubbly person and I enjoyed her so much. The way Ash and Lina meet is so high of tension, but that then turns into something of a friendship fast and gave me a whole load of feelings. Lina is curious and excited about little things and it made me excited to see where the story would lead to.
Oh boy and leading to things it did. Things really went moving fast after that and things were really intense. I couldn't stop thinking about the book. While at the same time I had to take breaks reading because it was all so intense it was a bit overwhelming. Which... was so amazing. I loved it.
I can't wait until the next book and see what secret Ash is going to uncover next.
I received an eARC and this was my honest review.
