Reviewed by mineandotherstories2,5 ⭐️ Nichts für mich leider. Die Idee war super spannend, die Ausführung hat mir weniger gut gefallen. Keinerlei Hintergrundinformationen über die Welt, die Politik oder das „Magiesystem“, flache Charaktere und ein Schreibstil, der mir das Lesen teilweise wirklich erschwert hat. Das einzig Positive war das Setting, auch wenn es durch die wenigen Infos leider nicht immer ganz nachvollziehbar bzw vorstellbar war. Ich werde die Reihe höchstwahrscheinlich eher nicht weiterlesen, sehr schade.
