This was a dark-grim book! Darker than I expected.
The horror is raw and gory. It's a harsh world with a religious fanatic Order, tyranny and dominated people. I was expecting lighter moments throughout the story but I would definitely consider it dark fantasy. Not really my cup of tea. And since the Order was really mean to people all I wanted to see was Heloise unmasking their fanaticism and proving that their beliefs were wrong. That wizards were not evil. But then, surprisingly, we are told that magic is evil and that it really can bring destruction. So I was a little bit depressed the Order was not destroyed in the end.
