adventurous dark medium-paced

• Loveable characters? Yes

• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

3.5

Overall I enjoyed this book, enough so that I will be reading the next instalment of the series. Some of the scenes were quite dull, but the more enjoyable ones made up for it. It also suffers a bit from the “men writing women” problem that made me a tad uncomfortable, but it didn’t completely ruin the experience. It’s a decent fantasy read, if you enjoy that then this book will likely be enjoyable.

This book could be perfect, if it wasn't so obvious, that the author has absolutely no clue about woman. But if you can look at all the misogyny and laugh at its stupidity and not get too infuriated by it, its a good book. Behind the misogyny hides a good story 😂

Ich muss sagen, dass ich die Geschichte zwar sehr interessant fand, aber der Schreibstil hat mir persönlich einfach nicht gefallen.
