The first book of A Waltz of Sin and Fire is set in a fictional future which is regulated by a totalitarian monarchy and in which women are treated as inferior to men. The plot follows Lenora who needs to go through the Crossing Gate to become an adult. The only thing is that she tried before, but she physically can’t do it. Her failure to cross for a third times gets the attention of the monarchy. The next time better be the right one… only, something happens during her fourth attempt and she gets labeled a traitor.
I overall enjoyed reading The Crossing Gate. The world the author built is believable and you can see it which means it’s well done. I loved that the main character asks questions about how women are treated differently from men and how she wants to help when she sees injustice in front of her. I really enjoyed when the main action starts and you get to see the confirmation that things are not as peachy as the Monarchy wants you to believe which was hinted before. We also get to see another side of some characters that were well hidden before.
On the other hand, I feel like the beginning was a bit long. It did help to explain the world well though. Also, I am not convinced about the love stories. I can only hope it’s going to be worked on in the second book.
In the end, it was a great read and I am looking forward to read the second book and have some questions answered.… (más)
