I like the exploration of depression and self-harm. It’s not perfect, but it’s better than I’ve seen in other work. Same for the adult/teen relationship. I was extremely worried by the fact that the author kept mentioning their age difference. Any new mention made it more impossible for them to realistically be together without irking the reader (as it should be, because teacher/student relationships are PROBLEMATIC). And the ending does feel very much Twilight-era, and I don’t doubt they’re gonna end together (🙄) but it at least tried to show that these relationships are unhealthy.
I’m debating whether or not to continue the series. Also, love Christian. Hands down my favourite character.

Ich achte mittlerweile auf so viel mehr, was mir damals nicht auffiel. Es ist für Jugendliche geschrieben und das ist sicherlich ein großer Grund dafür, warum ich für mich nur sagen kann, es war entertainment und okay.
Das slutshaming und generelles Lästern und Runtermachen der weiblichen Charaktere hat mich doch immer wieder gestört.
Die Anziehung und sich aufbauende Spannung zwischen Rose und Dimitri wirkte auf mich überhaupt nicht mehr so überzeugend und spannend wie ich es in Erinnerung hatte. Eher stellenweise ein wenig plötzlich und wenig entwickelt, was die Entwicklungen am Ende (obwohl ich wusste was passieren würde) plötzlich und etwas unverhältnismäßig erscheinen ließ.
Mir ist klar, dass das hier weniger ein Review über die Schwächen und Stärken des Buchs als vielmehr ein Resume meiner Re-Read-Erfahrung ist. Und dazu gehört eben eindeutig auch, dass sich mein Lesegeschmack verändert hat und mich Teenie-Fantasy-Romanzen aus den späten 2000ern nicht mehr so mitreißen, wie mit 13 oder 14.
