Rezension von Lyndsey MartinezI thoroughly enjoyed this book. I unknowingly read slaying the shadow prince first and was not fond of the writing style. This one was a glorious slow burn and focused on a woman trying to find her place in a world of men.
Rezension von JanahnkI really enjoyed the opening installment of this series. I like Thea as a protagonist, but I especially loved Kipp and Cal! It’s so nice to finally have side characters who truly have their own personalities and who you really grow attached to. The tension with Wilder felt a bit too strong too early on at first, but it developed well over time. I like how different elements are hinted at early and then continue to unfold later, keeping the suspense alive throughout. The only downside for me was the whole “sword fighter” theme—it’s just not really my thing, but that’s purely a matter of personal taste. Overall, I had a lot of fun with this book and I’m really looking forward to seeing how the story continues!
Rezension von JasminA MUST READ!! i loved the story and couldn't put it down
Rezension von Lischaa1Mir hat dieses Buch richtig, richtig gut gefallen! Helen Scheuerer hat mit dem Auftakt ihrer Romantasy-Reihe eine Geschichte geschaffen, die mich von der ersten Seite an gefesselt hat. Was mir besonders gefallen hat: • Charakter Althea (Thea): Thea war mir total sympathisch. Ihre Entschlossenheit, ihren Traum zu verwirklichen, obwohl ihr nur wenig Zeit bleibt und Frauen in ihrer Welt keine Waffen tragen dürfen, ist beeindruckend. Eine wirklich starke, kämpferische Heldin! • Spannende Story: Die Handlung ist wirklich sehr spannend und baut konstant Intrigen und eine dunkle Bedrohung auf. Man möchte einfach immer weiterlesen, um zu erfahren, was als Nächstes passiert. • Das Training zum Wächter: Dieser Aspekt, in dem Thea sich ihren Platz in der Elitegilde erkämpfen muss, hat mich sehr positiv an Fourth Wing erinnert. Die brutalen Prüfungen und das harte Training sind mitreißend und zeigen Theas Willenskraft. • Beziehung Thea und Wilder: Die Entwicklung der Beziehung zwischen Thea und dem grummeligen Schwertmeister Wilder Hawthorne fand ich sehr schön – ein toller Slow Burn mit knisternder Spannung. • Nebencharaktere: Die Nebencharaktere sind sehr gut ausgearbeitet und tragen maßgeblich zur Geschichte bei. Die Found Family-Elemente und die Loyalität innerhalb der Gruppe haben mir gut gefallen.
