What did I just listen? This book was not for me... I didn't like the way women are described and used jn this book. You are always keep in the edge asking yourself when she will be sexually abuse... Worse thing is, there are parts I enjoyed in the book but I cannot get over the violence, rape, Stockholm syndrome, abuse and misogyny.

Compelling world building, character dev is wayyyyy too slow for me— hate feeling like I don’t even know the MC after ~300pgs of first person narration 

So yeah, still unsure with Auren. Lots of potential but got little to nothing after a lot of on page time together. Very show don’t tell with her development but I want more what’s going through her head.

This book is a promising start, although I will say Auren did annoy me a little. But I'm looking forward to see where this story takes us and Auren. I feel like this was definitely just the tip of the iceberg.

i had put off reading this book for a long time, simply because i didn’t think i’d be interested, but i was so very wrong. i will say it does start out blandly in the beginning, yet picks up quickly. my interest was fully piqued by page 50 and now i can’t wait to read the rest of the series. i would have rated it 5 stars if it wasn’t for the ridiculous amount of world building and the absolute monsters that were most of the male characters.

Great start to the series, I was emotionally invested in the characters and I did not find it to be predictable at all. It was also an easy read, I read it in one day and did not feel bored of it. It is a reflection of what it feels to be a woman when misogyny is still very much present. I am looking forward to see how female friendships grow stronger and what the rest of the plot looks like.

“Why am I so cursed to endure the greed of men? Is it simply the gild of my skin? Or is it something more, something deeper […]”

“Rissa, who would’ve performed and taken everything he threw at her like a professional, because that’s how strong she is.”

“But memory and time aren’t friends […] always losing one as you go with the other.”
