On the negative side, it's very formulaic and predictable, and I didn't ever feel like I cared about the characters, who didn't seem real. On the positive side, after the very boring first 100 pages, the story got more entertaining. And, even though it's a lot of pages, they have very few words on each, so it's a quick read. A beautiful YA Fantasy story, with kingdoms and magic and fights and endless action, in between which, there are small moments of tranquility and romance. I want to mention that the main villain reminds me of Hitler, as his ethos and his torturing methods are disturbingly similar. Also **SPOILERS AHEAD** the concentration camps where the Winter people were held gave me strong vibes of the torturing the Jewish people went through in the second world war I want to also say I'm a strong Meira x Theron shipper, I can't wait to see if their relationship will grow in the sequels. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

The plot twist was so obvious I hope it wasn't meant to be a plot twist. Heroine being self-centred then supposedly learning from mistakes and ops does another self-centred thing again. Insta love, but let's be honest, the guy is so perfect he almost convinced me to continue the series, so I don't blame her. Luckily the end closed this part of the story, so I don't feel any need to continue.
Redeeming points:
Theron aka the perfect YA love interest
Season based kingdoms turned out to be quite interesting, unfortunately I am not sure how it really works, like there is really no explanation how they produce any food in places where there is one season all the time. ( )
