Everything I hoped for and more

Bewertet: Buch (Gebundene Ausgabe)

After her brother is killed and her kingdom has fallen our protagonist Briony and other survivors get sold at an auction to the highest bidder. She then falls into the hands of Toven, an enemy she knows all too well... But despite the horrors of her new world, not all hope is lost. I loved this book so much. It is dark and emotional and the slow-burn romance is to die for. The magic system is really interesting and the world was set up so well. I also loved Briony as our protagonist and was really invested in her story. This book was everything I hoped for and more. Big recommendation for all fans of dark romantasy!

The Hero is dead. What now?

Rory and Briony are inseparable twins. But since the war has started, an old prophecy has come to the surface again: the Heir Twice Over will end the war. And so, Briony starts to live in Rory's shadow, always supporting him so that he scores the highest. Toven, of the enemy country, notices Briony's talent and intelligence very fast, but continues to bully her with his friends, who are all practicing heartmagic, in contrary to Rory's and Briony's mindmagic. I loved the pacing of the book, interchanging between the present and past moments that are very relevent to the plot and understanding the characters. Briony's personality was amazing, every one of her decisions was understandable and fit with her arc. And Toven, brooding, mysterious, was very fun to read and try to guess his ulterior motives. Rory, on the other hand, I didn't like. He was way too arrogant for his skills. He was so confident, and in a man's world, having a sister should've opened up his eyes.
