Leider nicht das Leseerlebnis, das ich mir erhofft hatte. Vielleicht liegt es daran, dass es ein Debüt ist, aber ich fand vieles unzureichend beschrieben. Einige Szenen habe ich erst Sätze danach verstanden, da Details fehlten. So wurden auch die Spiele, um den Champion zu finden, viel zu stiefmütterlich behandelt und gehen trotz ihrer zentralen Position total unter. Die Story an sich ist nicht neu, hat aber im Grunde Spaß gemacht. Manche Auftritte bestimmter Personen waren mir aber dann doch zu weit hergeholt und erfüllten nur den Zweck, die Protagonistin in eine bestimmte Richtung zu lenken. Ich denke nicht, dass ich die Reihe weiterlesen werde.
A book I would have loved to love but sadly didn't. The premise is great and the worldbuilding is promising. I also have developed deep affection for the MMC.
However, Arin had just very few chapters from his POV (absolutely adored them) and the rest was in Sylvia's POV. Sadly, because she kinda annoyed me as a character. I can't put my finger on it, as for the most part she was a generic 'reluctant chosen one' character, but she seemed to be flipping through her own life's story without much of an agenda (until the very last part of the book, but that was too late for me). The pacing was fast but also weird at times, and for many sections the plot seemed to be going in circles. It all seemed to be built towards the trials, but then these were just mentioned without much depth or enthusiasm. All this said, I know that many peeps in my buddy read group absolutely adored the book and so it was probably just me not warming up to it. As I can totally appreciate the worldbuilding and the magic system (even though I couldn't fully grasp it yet), I wanna give this book 3/5 stars. Thank you @netgalley and @littlebrownbookgroup_uk for the eARC! #JasadHeir #Netgalley #Bookstagram
