This was incredibly painful to read. The main character was so frustrating and naive. The whole theme is “nothing is real” and she prided herself in believing she was the perfect person for the game because of her upbringing, yet her personality and emotions kept getting in her way. Things kept falling into her lap.. she did absolutely nothing to deserve the things she was given. 

“Are you sure it wasn’t an illusion” “I’m POSITIVE” was repeated over and over again 🤦🏻‍♀️

I don't have lots of great things to say about this one, unfortunately.
II should've been great, the premise was intriguing and offered a lot of mystery, but it all fell flat. the execution was very flawed, the characters basically running in meaningless circles until the last chapter or so. and the ending was very very disappointing. thee romance was lacking, couldn't understand why they were even pulled towards one another in the first place. and the plot was extremely thin even though it had so much potential.

i think what I disliked the most was the writing. it was as subtle as metal pipe to the head. never leaving you to draw your own conclusions or make assumptions, just telling you outright what you're supposed to think and how the characters are feeling instead of actually showing it. it was very weak over all. 
i should have dnf'd but here we are. Definitely not picking up the rest of the series though.

J'aimerais en savoir plus sur la manière dont le monde en est arrivé à son état actuel, comment la magie fonctionne en détails. Cependant le livre, pourtant recoupant certains parties des contes préférés de l'autrice, et semblant être adapté aux ados, contient énormément de scènes de violence graphique. Cela ne me semble pas cohérent, ou du moins pas bien géré.
