The twists and surprises

Revisado: 03-17-25

Beautiful easy to follow writing that painted perfect pictures. The story was interesting and kept my attention throughout. Loved all the twists and surprises that kept me from guessing what was going to happen

Couldn’t wait for it to end

Revisado: 02-06-25

There were so many unnecessary words - like seemed, seemingly, appeared to be….- it broke the flow and made it hard to understand. And the performance was disruptive and weird because the narrative always sounded like he was forcing a scary whisper, as if he were telling horror stories in the dark of night

The slow start had me getting impatient, but once the action started it was great

Great story. Good writing

Revisado: 11-18-24

I loved the author’s descriptions and the unexpected excitement throughout, and how she tied all of the mysteries and loose ends together.
But I HATED the performer’s monotone pausing in the wrong places. It through me off, which drove me crazy. If the story hadn’t been so good I would’ve stopped listening

Two realities, not one and a dream illusion

The idea of the story is what I liked most, although it has a slow start

Mystery and surprise at every turn

Revisado: 04-26-24

Just when you think you know the answer to a mysterious query, you don’t. Time after time after time the twists and turns, merging with her interesting way of putting it into words surprise and delight. I loved it!

Good but too many long drawn out parts slowing it

Revisado: 04-01-24

I like the storyline and how all the pieces were pulled together, and the parts that were good, were very good and very interesting. But I have two complaints (the second of which is also part of the first).
1. My main issue was, because I like a pace that flows (a flow that actually moves ahead), I felt Maas got stuck on quite a few areas throughout, that did not move the story along. It was frustrating in that it made me wish the book were shorter so that I would be done with it. Which is sad, because it was otherwise well written.
2. I'm not a fan of explicit sexual details. For me, those long, drawn-out sex scenes brought the flow of the story to a squeaking halt! So much so, that I eventually started skipping past them because I wasn't missing anything. I feel like she could have trusted the reader to know what happened by hinting at the experiences in ways that we would still get the picture and even be more interesting. Anyone who has had passionate moments can use their imagination in that area. I think she overdid it. If I wanted porn I'd watch a movie, not read fantasy.

Although a good story, horrible writing

Revisado: 01-26-24

It sounded like a first draft in need of SOoooo many edits. I liked the idea of the story, but couldn’t wait for it to end. The performance would have been good if the writing had been good AND the pauses were in the right place. Wrong pausing changes the meaning. Was it self published? Because it’s hard to believe a publisher would have accepted it as is. Because of these things I will not be reading the other books
