Ik vind deze duologie zo fijn doordat het verhaal voor mij verfrissende elementen bevat, de personages mij aanspreken en de schrijfster een fijne schrijfstijl heeft. Misschien dat ze hier en daar wat aan snelheid inlevert, maar het verhaal blijft interessant en je moet weten hoe het afloopt.
Het einde is mooi rond en je slaat het boek met tevredenheid dicht.

Adored the first book Bone Crier’s Moon, but this was just not it for me. The first half was such a mess, I didn’t like any of the characters. Literally running away from problems does not solve them. How can you claim someone so much but be so selfish and jealous of them at the same time? The second have got much better and I actually started to enjoy it. The characters became more like able and relatable. But then again the ending... There were so many problems that needed solving and they were so simple to be solved that I cannot imagine they actually needed 300 pages to be solved.

3.5 stelle!

Dopo aver letto il primo, ho deciso di recuperare il secondo immediatamente, ma devo ammettere di non essere completamente soddisfatta.
Il primo mi aveva conquistato, mentre questo mi ha lasciato con l'amaro in bocca.
Il libro mi è sembrato infinito, con troppi avvenimenti tutti insieme. Appena ne finiva uno, ne iniziava un altro, senza dare il tempo di elaborare il tutto. E per questo anche i personaggi e i loro sentimenti sono finiti sullo sfondo, non riuscendo pienamente a dare loro lo spazio che serviva per la loro crescita.
Si migliora con gli ultimi capitoli, che sono stati più interessanti, ma il finale l'ho trovato un po' insipido.

It is that I never DNF a book but.... blimey this is a tough one to get through.
The second half of the book I really liked but the first half is so slow and boring it took me ages to get through

A satisfying conclusion that wrapped up all the ends nicely. Though at times it seemed like the author was just making up the magic system as the story went along. Rules and facets that were never mentioned before suddenly provided a convenient solution. Also the plot was a bit all over the place and repetitive at certain points. The characters are always separated and very lost and confused for a majority of the book (like they were in the first one). But what made it fun for me were the relationships between the characters and the writing. It’s super readable and because I was invested in the characters and I liked them, I didn’t mind too much that the plot was chaotic, I was just along for the ride.

the first half of this book wasn’t all that great and seemed really repetitive from the first one. a lot of the same things happened again just for different reasons so it became kind of boring to read. the second half though, i liked a lot better. the ending went in a direction that i’m not really sure i liked but it still make me cry lol. i wish that the first half would have been better though
