Alchemised English Edition The global dark fantasy sensation, with sprayed edges

Alchemised is a dark fantasy with a heavy emphasis on an intense, complex romance. It takes place in a war and doesn't romanticize any of it. Helena, the female protagonist, is selfless and strong. She repeatedly puts herself last to help her friends in this cruel war. Kaine, the male protagonist, seems dark and ruthless. But even though he has this dangerous edge to him, there is a soft side that seems unlike himself and accidental. I loved how complex the characters are and how real it made them feel. Although the book is long with a thousand pages, it captivated me. I can't stop thinking about the story, the characters and the amazing writing style. This is one of my absolute favorite books.

Alchemised was dark, mysterious, and absolutely gut wrenching in the best way possible. It has easily become one of my biggest book highlights. SenLinYu created such a melancholic and haunting atmosphere that completely pulls you into the story. Helena and Ferron are some of the most interesting and complex characters I’ve read about in a long time, and their dynamic felt so layered and emotional. The worldbuilding was also incredible because every part of the world felt huge, detailed, and carefully crafted. This book is perfect for anyone who loves darker fantasy stories filled with emotion, mystery, and beautifully broken characters.

It's been a while, since a book hit this hart and it still can't seem to let go. It consumed me throughout every single one of the thousand pages and I'm kind of sad that it ended? Surprised myself there, because I never thought, I actually liked it. And now I loved it. Crazy world. Speaking of crazy worlds, Sen Lin Yu created a brillant dark fantasy about war, sacrifice, and love, that's quite unbreakable (let's not forget, there are some heavy themes so please do read the trigger warning). First and foremost the story starts with Helena, once a promising alchemist, now a prisoner of war. Due to her inexplicable memory loss, she doesn't remember being a healer in the war or anything else for that matter, leading to her imprisonment. I just loved how the author let the readers into her memories, unveiling bit by bit how she ended up there. This book truly is a masterpiece and the 1000 pages of tears and crashouts (on my part) were absolutely worth it!

Alchemised pulls you into a world where death isn't the end. It's the beginning of transformation. Dark, seductive and so unsettlingly beautiful, this story blurs the line between horror and art. If you love haunting atmospheres, charcoal-black alchemy and crave the slow creeping dread of unimaginable power, this is your new obsession! I loved it so much, probably the most soul-crushing book I've read since Fourth Wing. Writing a book as long as this one and managing not to bore the reader for a single page is pure storytelling genius. This book is a masterpiece, my only problem is that it isn't long enough.

Alchemised is not necessarily a bad book. It's certainly not a bad idea of a story, however anything that this book has to offer is simply destroyed by its inconceivable length. Literally nothing justifies it. It drags and is artificially extended by repeating the same scenes or cycles again and again. Hurting – Healing, Hurting – Healing. It starts to seem pointless pretty quickly and having a good 30% of your 1000 page book be filler is just a waste of paper. I don't even blame SenLinYu personally for this, but one of the probably hundreds of professionals and several editors involved in the publishing of this book should've put their foot down eventually. Alchemised is by no means an easy or light read. Overwhelmingly brutal with little hope, among its many pages, it's a real commitment and I'm not sure it's worth it.
