Arvasin lopun tapahtumat jo heti alussa, mutta tällä kertaa oikeaan osuminen vain ilahdutti! Juonenkäännöksiä oli tarpeeksi pitkin tarinaa. Muuten kirja muistutti todella paljon Maria Kallio -sarjan ekaa osaa Ensimmäinen murhani, kaikki kissoista ja perhekuvioista kuoroharrastuksiin ja lapsuudenmaisemiin. (Onneksi) Kallio oli tässä vain sivuosassa.

The vibes were there, but nothing else was. Don't be fooled, this was nothing like the Shades of Magic trilogy. Too much information with too little explanation, in addition to everything happening in the span of a couple of days. Ora was the only character I liked, I'd actually like to read a whole book about her life. I also loved the underground Prague! Don't know why I read the whole thing as I already wanted to dnf like 50 pages in.

Hämmentävä, ei niin hyvä kuin edeltäjänsä. Ulkoisesti kohtaamansa naisvihan lisäksi Kallion tulisi keskittyä hoitamaan omaa sisäistettyä naisvihaansa, miten voikin lähes 30-vuotias kuulostaa välillä 13-vuotiaalta?

Maria Kallio suorittaa esimerkillisesti roolinsa "ei niin kuin muut tytöt"-naisena. En oikein pitänyt hänestä, mutta muuten tarina oli kyllä koukuttava ja seuraava osa lähtee kuunteluun heti saatuani tän arvostelun valmiiksi.
