Beschreibung

When seventeen-year-old Nedra Brysstain leaves her home in the rural, northern territories of Lunar Island to attend the prestigious Yugen Academy, she has only one goal in mind: learn the trade of medicinal alchemy. A scholarship student matriculating with the children of Lunar Island's wealthiest and most powerful families, Nedra doesn't quite fit in with the other kids at Yugen, who all look down on her.

All, except for Greggori "Grey" Astor. Grey is immediately taken by the brilliant and stubborn Nedra, who he notices is especially invested in her studies. And that's for a good reason: a deadly plague has been sweeping through the North, and it's making its way toward the cities. With her family's life--and the lives of all of Lunar Island's citizens--on the line, Nedra is determined to find a cure for the plague.

Grey and Nedra continue to grow closer, but as the sickness spreads and the body count rises, Nedra becomes desperate to find a cure. Soon, she finds herself diving into alchemy's most dangerous corners--and when she turns to the most forbidden practice of all, necromancy, even Grey might not be able to pull her from the darkness.

Dark and full of grieve but also love. This book really kept me reading on and on. I don’t know what to expect from the sequel, so let’s continue with that.

It was okay. I don't understand why the romance was included though. It felt like the love interest had a life and friends and family until Nedra came along and then they just ceased to exist. It's like he just existed to love Nedra, which by the way, I still have no clue why he loved Nedra because she wasn't exactly charming. I also don't understand why we get Grey's POV because aside from the beginning, his chapters added nothing to the story. You really could take out his chapters and not be missing anything at all. I also really wish the story had 100% focused on the plague and on Nedra because it felt like the romance was just thrown in there and I didn't much care for reading those scenes. My favorite part of the whole book was when she was quarantined in her house with her parent's corpses because it finally felt like the story was more than just about the cure or Grey. I didn't like the villain reveal at all. It pissed me off that it happened in the last twenty pages and it pissed me off that the villain was who it was. Also their reasoning behind starting the plague was so backwards and twisted that I still don't understand?? But I won't get into that. I picked this up for the alchemy aspect and was satisfied for the most part. However I do not recommend this to someone looking for a romance or for someone that doesn't like disease/virus books because finding a cure is literally ALL the main character focuses on for 90% of the book.
