I personally loved the book especially Lada and her personality and I absolutely look forward to reading the next book.
I am a sucker (no pun intended) for dark/twisted stories, so this was an excellent read! Learning about Romanian and Central Asian history was a major plus too. (For my US centric brain, anyway.)I enjoyed all the characters, especially Lada and Radu. It's a wonderful change to see women written as human, with a wide range of personalities and quirks. And Radu, oh my lovely beautiful soft boy <3 While he frustrated me sometimes (especially with a certain character), I quite liked reading from his perspective as well. It was also really great to see a positive/more realistic portrayal of Islam, since there are still so many misconceptions about the faith.
Can't think of a least favorite part...maybe the publisher rating. I feel that this book/series is for a more mature audience, definitely not 12 year olds. That's probably just me, though.
I'm excited to read the next book!
Took me a while to get through this book due to travel and such. But I did enjoy it. There were some shocking parts, which I loved. this was my first historical fiction book set somewhere other than England. I enjoyed learning about the military and traditions. Did have a mind blown moment though. so in all a lot of the Disney movies there are single parents. In Aladdin, I've always assumed Jasmines mom was dead but reading this I realized she probably just lives with the Harem. Just eye opening to compare Aladdin yo this and understand more of what was being talked about. 😆
I LOVE this series, I've read the second book, Now I Rise, and it was just as good, if not better than, the first one. Really the first historical fantasy I've read and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I loved Lada and Radu, and I can't wait for the third one!
Love this series can't wait for the next one which is called Bright we Burn!!!
Definitely killing me that we have to wait for Bright We Burn haha
