Amazing read, the entire 1000 pages are engaging, no lulls, very dark themes not for sensitive people

The ultimate enemies-to-lovers story. The storytelling in this novel lingers long after the final page is turned. The cost of loyalty Helena pays again and again reveals that she was never merely a footnote, but a force in her own right. Kaine’s guilt, born from having to commit the unthinkable, becomes the highest price he pays for the fragile hope of loving Helena someday. The depth of care they pour into one another as they heal from the mental and physical traumas of war is profoundly poetic, giving their shared grief somewhere to rest.

I Couldn't Finish This Book
Helena spend nearly two years in a stasis tank, yet in certain scenes she’s perfectly mobile despite needing help with movement in a previous scene. She has weak, injured wrists yet favors them then she moves off the floor. The Ferron last name is a lazy play on the Latin word for iron. The plot is rushed because social media has trained people’s brains to need the next new thing instantly. The writing is trite.

Horrible. Did not make that far in. Very depressing, very violent. Hard to read and boring. Could take out a lot of repetitive boring details to make this book shorter. I went by the hype. Giving this book away.

Too depressing and traumatic
DNF'D at 8% FYI: If you are like me and don't enjoy dark, depressing stories full of abuse and trauma, DO NOT READ THIS BOOK! I bought Alchemised on release day due to all the hype about it all over social media. Admittedly, I didn't do enough research beforehand otherwise I wouldn't have purchased it. I cannot give a thorough review, given that I abandoned the book so early on. Here's what I can say though: I went into the story expecting a fantasy romance with alchemy, necromancy with some gothic vibes. I was looking for more Anathema vs Hemlock & Silver and less Handmaid's Tale. Instead, I was presented with a dystopian, oppressive story about an alchemist POW. The overall tone of what I read was quite depressing, and I don't enjoy feeling depressed.

I’m so disappointed. This book came to me and has clearly been used. There are folded pages and rips in some of the pages. A red crayon mark down the side on the page view of the book. And the book jacket is loose and scuffed up. I was not aware I was buying a used book from Target

This book is phenominal I highly recommend. There are jarring parallels to our current political and social climate.

Exquisitely written gothic story about war, sacrifice, and love.
Few works manage to be so intellectually rigorous and emotionally shattering at once. Alchemised is a triumph of structure, voice, and vision: a gothic epic that alchemizes grief into something transcendent. One of the strongest uses of the gestalt switch in modern literature.

The pages are THIN! like bible thin… but that’s done to help condense a $1000 page book .

Horrible packaging.
Came damaged which I’m sure is due to the lack of care in packaging. There was bo protection whatsoever. Hard cover corners are bent and the cover was messed up from being packed halfway off the book.
