    Finally got to the half of the book! I've been reading it with both eyes open and I can say with total honesty that Suzanne is an amazing writer. I hate and admire Coriolanus, because I can see he is paving the way towards all the atrocities he'll commit in the future, but I can also see how intelligent he is, and I do admire his ability to recognise when to use his knowledge, to see and take an opportunity. And still, I despise him so, so much.

    I was really looking forward to read this book. I tried to read it several times, and at first I thought I would like it, but then I felt like we (and by that I mean the MC and me) were going nowhere. The world the story is written in is a pre-established one: everybody in the story seems to know what's going on, how things work, except us (the reader) and there's no way for me to understand what's going on most of the time or why something is happening. Also, there's a mix of perspectives in there, hidden agendas that begin to mold the story but again, we have no way to know what's really happening and we are left as mere viewers. That is what makes it so off putting for me. I've tried to but I can't relate to the characters at all. I can't immerse myself in the story.

    In my opinion it is a good idea badly executed by the author.

    All Ren wants is to see another sunrise, but when you grow up with people cursing your very existence, that’s easier said than done. As someone touched by the gods, she keeps far from the cities and the dangers they pose, preferring to keep to the endless and isolating sands of the Jahaer Desert. She’s managed to keep the marks that identify her as a daemon out of sight for this long, but when her camp is raided, and her allies have fled, there’s nowhere left to hide.Captured and taken to the heartless city of Denheir, Ren has only one goal—survival. She’s never embraced her gift of sight, but now she might not have a choice. Face to face with the most notorious man on the Continent and his desire for the power coursing through her veins, Ren must submit to the fate the gods have dealt her or fight. Good thing she’s never been one to yield.With new threats at her back and old ones plaguing her dreams, Ren is thrust into a journey of self, survival, and new alliances as she tries to escape a life she never asked for. The future is murky, and though she’s spent her whole life running from her gift, she just might realize that true power is as inevitable as the gods themselves.
