Rezension von Literally DebEntrei sem saber muito bem o que esperar e acabei completamente rendida à história 🖤 Mais do que a intensidade, o desejo ou o perigo, o que realmente me marcou foi a fragilidade escondida por detrás das personagens. Gostei de perceber que, por baixo das escolhas, das defesas e de tudo aquilo que mostram ao mundo, existem pessoas carregadas de medos, feridas e necessidades que nem sempre sabem como expressar 😮💨 Foi essa humanidade que me fez envolver tanto!
Rezension von Настя3,5*
Rezension von Frau_BBitten hat mich von Anfang an gefesselt. Der Einstieg wirkt wie eine gut aufgebaute Vorgeschichte, die angenehm langsam in die Handlung hineinführt. Besonders positiv fand ich den Schreibstil und die Kapitellänge, die den Lesefluss sehr angenehm machen. Die Figuren sind interessant gezeichnet, allen voran Vanessa, deren Entwicklung spannend zu verfolgen ist. Auch die Freundschaften und Beziehungen zwischen den Charakteren sind emotional berührend und tragen viel zur Atmosphäre des Buches bei. Gerade hier konnte ich mich gut in die Gefühle hineinversetzen. Manche Dynamiken waren für mich allerdings etwas schwer nachvollziehbar, weshalb ich mir an einzelnen Stellen mehr Tiefe gewünscht hätte. Die Werwolf-Thematik ist originell umgesetzt und bietet einige spannende Ideen, die sich von anderen Geschichten des Genres abheben. Dazu kommen eine packende Akademie-Atmosphäre und intensive Trainingseinheiten, die der Handlung Struktur und Spannung verleihen. Besonders gelungen finde ich, dass das Buch über weite Strecken hinweg kaum an Spannung verliert und man immer weiterlesen möchte. Im letzten Drittel überrascht die Geschichte mit starken Wendungen und emotionalen Momenten, die einen bleibenden Eindruck hinterlassen. Auch wenn ich mir bei manchen Szenen eine ausführlichere Ausgestaltung gewünscht hätte, konnte mich das Ende insgesamt überzeugen. Fazit: Bitten ist ein packendes, emotionales und originelles Buch, das mich von Anfang bis Ende mitgerissen hat. Einige kleinere Schwächen verhindern die volle Punktzahl, aber insgesamt bleibt es ein absolut empfehlenswerter Roman.
