Kanla bağlandı. Arzuyla baştan çıkarıldı. Kaderle serbest bırakıldı.
Bryce’ın yaşamı kusursuzdu, bütün gün çalışır, gece de partilerdi, ta ki bir iblis en yakın arkadaşını öldürene kadar. Suçlu parmaklıklar ardında olmasına rağmen cinayetler devam edince Bryce kendini büyük bir soruşturmanın merkezinde buldu.
Hunt ise düşmüş bir melekti. Bir zamanlar devirmeye çalıştığı Başmelekler tarafından köleleştirildi. Artık acımasız becerilerini tek bir amaç için kullanıyordu, patronunun düşmanlarına suikast yapmak… Ancak bir gün, Bryce’ın davasını çözerse özgürlüğüne bir adım atabileceğini fark etti.
Bryce ve Hunt, Hilal Şehir’in derinliklerine inerken, her şeyi tehdit eden karanlık gücü ve alev alev yanan tutkuyu keşfederler.
Sevgiyle, her şey mümkündür.

Took me a couple of times to get into the story, but once I did, I really enjoyed it! I am pretty sure I would not rate this above Throne of Glass series, but not sure how I’d rate it against ACOTR, especially since I’m only on Book One, but we shall see…
So once I got past the exposition of the first few chapters, I started to get into it. I have to question the structure of the book, but that's water under the bridge at this point. I found the setting more compelling than in the Court series, but I will admit that I'd hoped from the series titles it'd be set in New Orleans (it is definitely not). Still urban fantasy, but not our world. I'll continue with the series, at least.

So many people complain that the first 400 pages of this book are info dumping but I loved it. It was great World building and I felt like I knew the depth of the characters, this is possibly my favourite Maas book so far on the multiverse journey

Tooooo long, the beginning was very info dumpy, I just skimmed over some descriptions because I could not retain so much info, the writing was easy to read and entertaining, but the character's work felt a little shallow like the author was telling us rather than showing us.. I did not really like how judgemental Hunt was at first for no reason, and even Bryce at times felt shallow but of course I still enjoyed reading their story, Ruhn was another pov that I really enjoyed and wanted more of. The last part of the book was much more action heavy, so non stop that I wish we could have had more breathing room, some "revelations" I expected, others not at all, and there were too many moments where the plot felt convenient, it felt cheap at times like the characters did not earn it, some emotional scenes that …

(I feel very intrigued by the "cat" character tho)

I had pretty low expectations for this but I ended up really enjoying it! Reminded me of all those urban fantasy series I used to binge read. It's a bit info-dumpy at the start but I'm glad I pushed past that.
