That was so fucking good. Holy shit. Brilliant continuation of the first part. The world building is insane, the characters feel so real. The terror and evilness feels real. Can't wait to read the third part. 

R. F. Kuang is a (cruel) mastermind.

Spoiler

I though after Babel I'd be prepared for all of the emotional pain R. F. Kuang could inflict but damn. She went all out with this one.

Diese Reihe macht mich sprachlos. Es gibt so viele Twists und Turns die ich definitiv nicht erwartet habe. Grade das Ende. Wow. Das hab ich definitiv nicht kommen sehen! Zumindest nicht so.

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. 

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!

Pain. 
All the trigger warnings. 
And pain 😭😭😭😭😭

Always a ride with my girl Rin. 
I’ll get to book 3 next year. I can only take one book per year from this series. 😂
