I didn't know where I got the will to finish it. Like the men were horrible, they expected submission before the protagonist knew what it was about. They talk about consent but the consent of not knowing what it contains is not consent. I couldn't seem to understand the character. I mean I tried, she seems to know at first that this was somewhat not good for her but she did it anyway. What I expect in the end, that she had some sense to give up on this. But the ending was horrible. ...more

Actual rating: 2,5 stars Wow okay so much for the anticipation I had for this book it was super disappointing. What I want: a book that focus on ElloreActual rating: 2,5 stars Wow okay so much for the anticipation I had for this book it was super disappointing. What I want: a book that focus on Elloren's training and more Yvan. What I get: a book about Elloren and Lukas. I didn't sign up for this okay ugh. I guess we have to wait for book 4 for that even though we could have that for book 3. This book mostly about Elloren on the run from both the Gardnerian and Vu Trin and Elloren being useless and afraid for entire book. It was exhausting to read about it I have to admit. The only interesting thing about this book is other people perspectives and I want the author to invest more in them and not Elloren (at least in this book because of drama). One more thing I don't like about this book is the romance. It was blizzard. The author kinda (view spoiler)[ killed off Yvan just to make Elloren and Lukas a thing. Justified them had sex with each other because they had to at first but want at next because Yvan was dead and she needed to forget him. And in the end Yvan magically alive and guess what Lukas is now dead (probably). (hide spoiler)] Again the whole relationship thing in this book was a mess. I guess the author was just doing a fan service for Lukas and Elloren shippers but I really not okay with this....more
I can't believe it but I'm going to be bitter about this book. The author has done us a favor and given us a non-virgin female protagonist. I can giveI can't believe it but I'm going to be bitter about this book. The author has done us a favor and given us a non-virgin female protagonist. I can give you that and the pacing is tolerable. But oh when the author wanted to portray a female character that was a "sexually empowered woman" and "not a trollop". I think that she didn't do a very good job with that. (view spoiler)[ The fact that the protagonist used men like her tool really disturbed me. I will not want a man do that to me so I will not want any man to suffer from that either. It is okay if the relationships were mutual between them but according to Alessandra the men clearly thought she was going to marry them (but she didn't do that) and used them to gain the jewelries that they gifted her because they thought she was going to be their wife. This behavior has nothing empowered about it. Using men and then discarding them is as bad as doing the same thing with the women. Nothing can justify that. (hide spoiler)] Not only that this book is lacked of world building and explanation for magical element of the story. The fantasy element was really just on the background in order to make the male character more interesting but believe me it didn't. I saw this book was advertised as Slytherin romance but I didn't really see it. I did see some Anne Boleyn vibes at the beginning (ambitious thought, wanted to be queen, cunning). But after that it became really cliche and meh. ...more

This is really hard to get into if you don't want me to say that I still haven't found a point that get me into it. I don't know if it's because I find it dull to read or the fact that ghosts in this book are kinda useless and make this really slow to process...more
How do I say this. It was informative?? Because I haven't researched anything about this kind of mental illness so I couldn't know how accurate the inHow do I say this. It was informative?? Because I haven't researched anything about this kind of mental illness so I couldn't know how accurate the information in this book was. And I can't stop imagining Lisa as Hermione a mean a less loveable version of her . She is so childish and bossy and I can't think of her as a 17 year old girl. We know that you can't cure mental illness for just a short time, it needs progress and this book shows us that. It shows us a relationship between an introvert and a extrovert and it can work just fine. I feel like this book is missing something, something that usually can touch my heart and I don't see it in this book....more
