I started this book in Dutch, from the library. After an hour, I was completely in love with Ravka. So, I desided to buy the books. But in English paperback, because it was cheeper and I like stories in English most of the time better. You may wonder why I started in Dutch, but i prefer a hardcopy Dutch edition from the library over a digital English one.

So, after a week, I could finaly continue. Chapter two was amazing with the volcra and all the fantasyworld. And the powers.. I like the idea of the world. There was a lot of world building, but it could have been a bit more and a bit less love issues for my taste, but it was not annoying.

I liked the story, I'm really curious to the other books, but I think I have had enough fantasy lately, I don't want to get overdosed.

I started in this book because of a readalong. I wasn't sure at first this series was my cup of tea, but because all my Goodreadsfriend were reading it this month, I gave it a shot. I'm very gratefull for how it all went down, because I have found a lovely new world (and some really good looking books on my shelf!), but I'm going to read other books first now. I will defenitly return to those books later on.
