Die Brutalität, die man schon aus Teil 1 kennt bleibt wieder ebenso vorhanden. Auch dieses Buch ist nichts für schwache Nerven. Es werden Verletzungen und Taten sehr detailliert beschrieben. Definitiv ein Buch für erwachsene.Â
Die Geschichte die Rebecca Kuang erschaffen hat ist erneut voll von Krieg. Diesmal gegen die Kaiserin. Feinde werden zu Freunden und Freunde wiederum zu Feinden.
Ich persönlich finde gerade Nezhas Entwicklung besonders spannend und interessant beschrieben. Die vorhanden Längen, die das Buch hat sind schnell vergessen wenn man zur nächsten großen Handlung kommt. Alles in allem ein sehr gutes Buch für alle die mit viel Brutalität klar kommen.
Unbedingt vorher die Content warnings anschauen!Â
