Am I one of those people who hates it when the couple keeps being separated and brought together bc they refuse to communicate? Yes. Am I eating this up? Yes. Idk if it’s bc I haven’t really read a series in a while or I’m reading this back to back essentially but me feels a bit of a reading slump coming up. Or maybe I’ve been listening to audiobooks a little too much and now I don’t know how to read with my eyes

Hmmm... it's hard to say what I'm thinking about this book right now. I think it was great disappointment. Why? The 1st book was sooo fresh with plot, lot of mistery, but now... I don't really know. Something is missing. Reading the book was really hard and time-consuming. I didn't expect that I finished reading but I got it!
There is something what irritate me (waiting for thunders...) so much - main romance; Vhalla and Aldrik. Their romance was overplayed and too sweet. I had enough when they talking and doing things in perfect way. I prefer romance between Vhalla and Daniel or Vhalla with Baldair. Aldric is too childish in my opinion.

What just happened? It was going so well until the end of the book. I don't know how to describe what I'm feeling right now. I can practically feel the pain radiating off Vhalla and Aldrik! This book is full of pain, misery, and suffering (though with stunning romance in between), but still! This is so heartbreaking! My two favorite characters are so broken, and because of that I am too!
I'm going to crawl under a rock for a while and cry my heart out before I emerge and read the next book. I just have to control my feelings for a while. After the last event, I don't know what to expect of the next book, and that makes me want to read the book now. But my FEELS are all over the place! I need to control myself.

Not to mention that they're the reason why they are so hurt right now. Why did you do that? A clean break is really not that easy, isn't it? Even if the reason of that is due to outside forces - my most hated character ever, The Emperor. Ugh, I just hate him so much.I'm going to crawl under a rock for a while and cry my heart out before I emerge and read the next book. I just have to control my feelings for a while.

actual rating: 3.5
Oh der Band konnte nicht mit den ersten beiden mithalten, die ich einfach nur so verschlungen habe.
Die Action und die Spannung waren total super.
Aber was die persönliche Entwicklung der Charaktere anging und dazu die letzten beiden Kapitel. Ich weiß echt nicht, wie wir von dem wieder zurück kommen und es wieder gerade biegen können, auf eine Art die befriedigend ist.
Ich hab den nächsten Band schon hier liegen, weil ich einfach wissen muss wie es weitergeht aber ich bin echt nervös.

This one couldn't really grab me like the books before, those I just devoured.
The action and the excitement where still there.
But the way that some of the characters developed, and everything that went down in the last two chapters. I just don't know how we can ever come back from that and how that could be resolved in a satisfying way.
I have the next book ready cause I just need to know how this will go but I'm really nervous.

Epic Bond fight scenes! And I just love the two princes--they have one of the most interesting relationships in YA princedom!

I really hate how Vhalla is treating Daniel and that whole setup, and I just don't want to read about it stretched out through three more books.

Why? Just why?
Da hatte ich mich gerade gefreut und dann das… Ich frage mich wirklich, was dem dem Kaiser geschehen ist, dass er zu so einem Monster geworden ist. Warum hat er die Fesseln benutzt und woher hat Egmun die überhaupt? Ich habe so langsam das Gefühl, dass er der wahre Feind ist. Und warum, WARUM hat er Vhalla und Aldrik getrennt? Wiiesoo? Was für ein mieser Cliffhanger! ><

Leave it to emperor Solaris to fuck everything up. EVERYTHING WAS GOING SO WELL, BUT NOW IM PUMPED AF FOR THE NEXT BOOK. Vhalla on her own with the AXE, Aldrik will obviously be looking for herrr. excited to see what the crystals and crystal axe means for miss lady yarl.
Daniel needs to chill bro, he's so obsessed.
ALDRIK still the loml. The watch he made vhalla OMGGG.
I love the stuff with projections in this book, and the strategies for planning on beating the north!
Also the beginning with him injured and what not Aldrik ily. He's everything we all need in a dark haired brooding prince.
