Temnița durerii

Full honesty, I was not feeling this book when I first started reading it. It starts off super slow and it’s just building backstory for a while and I hate not finishing books so I stuck it out and I’m so glad I did because the plot got sooooo good. The ending was jaw dropping and made so many things make more sense which changed my overall view of the book. So excited to start the next book.

I really loved this book and the dark prison atmosphere. I really like Kiva as a person she's been through so much allready.
Jaren I really come to love.

🏥4.5 stars!💂‍♀️For me, five star ratings are very rare, but I think this book deserves one. Everyone online is saying how niche and underrated it was, and I wanted to be in the know. And here I am, glad to say that it is worth the hype.🫰FAVOURITE: The plot twists at the end had me SHOOK. Just when I thought it couldn't twist further, it did. Did NOT see that coming. I can't wait for a reread of this book.👍Really loved the characters! Tipp is adorable, Mot is funny and Naari is a memorable side character as well. Obviously, I love our main characters a ton.👍The plot was pretty good. Aside from the plot twists, I also really liked the mystery side plot of the stomach virus (love Tipp's random fascination with rats, by the way).👍An oddly emotional read? I cried like, 6 times. It goes a bit into some deep topics, which I didn't expect, but ended up not minding it.👌The romance was just a bit rushed. Jaren indeed is a bit idiotic and it felt kinda insta-lovey, especially on Jaren's side. But after finishing the whole book, their hasted romance was very much necessary to the plot.👌Some parts of the story were confusing, but it clears up in the end. 👌Liked the writing! Good pacing, good prose. But there was nothing EXCEPTIONAL about it, hence the "okay" category.
