mycarefulcardinal's review against another edition

3.25

extremely slow and unengaging first half (the info dumping was a bit rough ...) and the ending felt a bit rushed and too .. easy? it took me a while to care about the characters or just anything that was happening really, i think the constant pov switching was the reason why. the end did make me emotional though and i am excited to continue

4.0

I have never heard anyone say a bad word about this series so I went in with high expectations. I was certainly impressed by the complex world the author created, but I fear I’m more of a character girlie than a plot girlie. I sort of feel neutral about everyone, which did make a certain

death

easier to handle tbh but I’d like to learn more! Gimme more emotions, more back story, more internal conflict!!

That being said the story was great, not as mind-blowing as I thought it would be but definitely a respectable 4/5 ⭐️ and I will be continuing on with the series!
