Rezension von sosoErinnert mich sehr an Die Tribute von Panem. Konnte das Buch aber trotzdem nicht weglegen.
Rezension von Amelie Reichelyes. first fantasy book and honstelly ( I know nothing about this matter and eventual rules that may apply when writing fantasy) I loved it so much, felt like I could really dive into the world, feel and see everything, built connections and just merge into the world. Funny, gut wrenching, exciting
Rezension von SvenHatte ne schöne Zeit mit dem Buch, gibt mir irgendwie auch YA Vibes. Bei längerem Nachdenken leider einige Logiklücken und zum Teil hölzerne Dialoge, die mich etwas aus der Immersion rausrissen. Die Charaktere fand ich ansich unterhaltsam aber nicht unbedingt deep. Häufig verhielten sie sich leider etwas karikaturhaft, sprich Rhiannon war ständig cool, Ridoc machte ständig Witze. Mir fehlte also eine gewisse Charaktertiefe. Was Violet anging wird sie als sehr schlau charakterisiert, verhält sich den Großteil des Buches aber leider sehr unreif und unüberlegt, alleine ihr erstes Aufeinandertreffen mit Xaden unter dem Baum. Mit ihren bisherigen Infos, hätte er sie einfach töten können, was sie ja so hätte einschätzen müssen. Auch militärisch macht es für mich keinen Sinn so viele Leben zu verschwenden, anstatt die Durchfallenden einfach in die Infanterie zu stecken. Die Regel, dass gegenseitiges Töten erlaubt sei, ist wohl nur da, um Spannung zu erzeugen aber außer Jack gibt es nur einen Moment, in welchem Violet als Tochter des Generals angegriffen wird. Die Romance fand ich auch nicht sonderlich begründet, Violet geierte ja schon vor der forced Proximity auf Xaden, verhielt sich meiner Meinung nach einfach zu horny für das Maß an Gravitas, was das Buch mit dem ganzen Kriegs-College-Setting ja eigentlich erzeugen wollte. Das klingt jetzt alles nach sehr viel Kritik aber es sind wie gesagt nur diese drei Punkte. Charaktere, Writing, Logik. Wenn man darüber hinwegsehen kann, ist es ne schöne Story, in der man sich verlieren und emotional investieren kann.
