Lezersrecensie
Beetje jammer
Recensie is in het engels omdat ik alleen maar engelse recensies schrijf voor mijn bookstagram
Let me tell you that i was so excited for this book to come out! I really love Kalynns books so much! I loved Cinderella Is Dead and her duolegy of This Poison heart, but this book was a bit of a let down to be honest. Yeah, i might had high expectations due to her others books i have read, but the pacing of this book was too slow. She had powers but i still have no idea to what extend her powers are and what exactly her powers are. You get to read here and there that she uses it for specific things while hunting and she uses it against the enemy but that is all of it.
To me there was not much retelling except for the second half which wasn't the case with Cinderella Is Dead! Besides that it read like she had the book all planned out! I mean that is normally great, good job right!? But this time because of that reading this book felt flat to me.
But the lets get to the positive things, because there are still things i absolutely loved! It wouldn't be a Kalynn Bayron retelling if the roles where turned around and the love interest was different then you would firstly think! I kind of was prepared it was going to be sapphic but it wasn't with the FMC this time! I don't mind it though because i still love how it turned out! I personally still love it how the story of Snow white is weaved into this retelling!
Over all, i like it, wouldn't reread it, wouldn't really 100% recommend it, not a 4 stars for me but enjoyed it anyways. Not a waste of money, book still had good points and some strong parts but not as much as i am used to from this writer!

Een indringend verhaal op het scherp van de snede, vanuit de belevingswereld van de strafrechtadvocate die als slachtoffer moet strijden voor een eerlijke behandeling onder het recht waar ze altijd in heeft geloofd.
Hetzelfde boek lezen brengt mensen samen: je hebt direct iets om over te praten! Daarom lezen we in november met heel Nederland 'Joe Speedboot' van Tommy Wieringa. Je haalt het boek gratis op bij je bibliotheek.
