To me it is the weakest book of the ember in the ashes series. Felt unnecessarily draged out. But I love the series as a whole, so I still enjoyed it a lot.

A very nice story told again, but very diffrently. A great Idea and a very suitable read for cold winter days.

Ich fand das Buch eher enttäuschend, die art wie Personen aus dem Osten dargestellt werden ist klar von Vorurteilen durchzogen was sehr schade ist. Auch sonst gab es viele seltsame stellen die oft auch langweilig waren.

Der Anfang des Buches ist sehr lang und zieht sich ewig, und anders als im anderen High Fantasies hatte ich nicht das Gefühl durch diesen langen, mühsamen Start in die Welt eingeführt zu werden. Die Welt war interessant, aber ich hätte mir mehr und tiefgründigeres Worldbuilding gewünscht. Der Schluss schien dann sehr schnell. Ich bin normalerweise kein fan von Liebesdreiecken in Büchern, aber dieses war mal anders und die Liebesgeschichte hat mich (positiv) überrascht. Das Ende war toll, sehr emotional und Episch. Auch habe ich selten eine so toll geschriebene Schlacht gelesen. Auch toll war ,dass das Buch auch ohne die nächsten Bänder stehen kann und eine Tolle, abgeschlossene Geschichte ist!

This was very hard for me to follow and grasp, as it is not told as a linear story. Nonetheless I really enjoy reading it, even if it confused and scared me .

There was just not that much happening, I was honestly kinda bored while reading. The system of the revolting group
(the Stewards), that the main character joins,
seems way to complex, with too many codenames, for how little they actually do. Also the characters fall flat. This book made me cringe to often and was not interesting enough to be enjoyable. But the baseline idea of the story is good.
