Honestly BORING
AND NOT MY TYPE
I might read weak girl / legendary warrior trope but not weak boy/ warrior girl sorry

“What if I do not want to fall?
Then, little sun…don’t.”

I’m crying. These 2 were so beautiful together. Im sorry, might be biased, but queen malina and dommik were so good and her character evolution was so good

And I’m crying 😭😭😭

“But we will have death together, and that is endless.”

Ohh did you think the Harry Potter “inspo” copy paste is done?
Nope

Brennur = peter pettigrew
That betrayed the location of the chosen one (here Auren) as a baby leading to the death of her parents.
How coincidental

Ohhh now there d blood drinking??? Istg fanfiction combo

Umm instead of Auren telling him she found both his dad and mom, she just umm… jumps him

The whole Mate thing from ACOTAR too. Istg. Everything is copy pasted

Ohhh amnesia trope too, she rlly didn’t miss any of the popular things. Like a checklist istg

Oh either im finishing this today or it finishes me

Oh guess whattt. Now DRAGONS

I was just beginning to think that she missed 4th wing from her massive fanfiction
But nope!

Una = Umbridge

Istg is no one able to write anything original anymore?

Queen Malina and assassin Dommik are an interesting pair

“You want death?/ I’m your Death”

Okay in my opinion this is heavily inspired by ither series and it reads like a fanfiction
First the obvious ACOTAR Tamlin/ Rhys and Midas/Slade parallel. Then the nesta/casian and osrik/risa.
Then the long lost queen from Throne of Glass
Then a lot of Harry Potter inspired…. Umm fairy circle transport (floopowder) and glam magic (based on nails and hair… umm polyjuice potion). Surely there are so many more

There’s a recoil that happens in your brain when something shocking occurs. Something so violently harrowing that your thoughts blanch and withdraw. As if your mind becomes a protective mother, shielding its child’s eyes and muffling the frightening noises while the massacre occurs and she knows they’re next. Subduing the receptors, mentally numbing the fallout it s the last thing it can do to offer protection

4 books of Auren yapping that she’ll never be weak again. And guess what she gets kidnapped again no problem. Istg all training for NOTHING

Why is Digby so important lol
That’s not a good plot driver/ motivator

“Friendship is always squashed, nonexistent, while meanness and a competitive edge is constantly cultivated under Zakir’s watchful eyes. Just dogs kept salivating to fight each other over a bone”

RAT RACE. Scarcity mindset cultivated where poverty exists or…. In Academia too lol

I want Midas dead
“I love you, but I don’t need your forgiveness, Precious. I just need your power.”

Ok lol this is bad and i kno u cant save an abused girl until she sees it herself

“I thought because I’ve changed, that he would change too. What a silly, naive thought”

Ok I think i know what is wrong with these books like why they annoy me. Apparently i hate characters like Auren that play into their helplessness and overthink out loud. The first 2 books could have EASILY been one single book.

But ok if ‘all is mind’ and her inner dialogue is always VICTIM- coded well it s freaking annoying

And you’d ask well if u were in her place…
Stockholm syndrome and all but NOPE

Slow paceeeeed come on

Okay umm 1st person entitled spoiled fmc, what can go wrong

“Yes, yes—it is all deeply unpleasant, my beautiful creature, but I am more than just my death, and you are more than just your blood”

Crying 😭😭

Ok i ship Marguerite and Maurice love my villains
