This took me a bit of work to get into. But once it picked up I was HOOKED. I wish that we had more of Mal and Alina’s journey and less of her time in the Little Palace because a lot of that felt like filler. But my love and hate for the characters grew exponentially by the end. MAL IS THAT SHIT.❤️🔥
This is a series I’ve been itching to get into for awhile and it did not disappoint! Every time I get into a new fantasy series I am reminded of why I love them so much. We get to escape into this other world with different world dynamics and magic and mystery and a sprinkle of romance. I love a good FMC and alina fit the mold of what I love. She’s perceived as mousey and weak but as she learns who she is you see her grow and become stronger and stronger... I ate it up! The romance aspect was the piece I wasn’t sure what to expect and it really wasn’t super prevalent in this book but I think it will grow throughout the trilogy. I got a mixture of hunger games and throne of glass vibes so it was very easy for me to enjoy. I cannot wait to start book 2!
It was okay I won't be buying the second one. I prefer the villian over the male lead which makes it a bit hard. I don't love the 'he didn't make a move until she had a glow up' bit. Like I know the antagonist is evil but I still prefer him.
