Rezension von Laura HolzmeyerReRead in 2023... I love it even more the second time around and honestly, I am sure I will love it more with every reread..
Rezension von Rohit NairCertainly amongst the most exciting books I’ve read in the past year or two.
Rezension von Maxie5⭐ wow, este libro ha sido asombroso y una grata sorpresa para mis lecturas del año. Me ha encantado demasiado la historia, el mundo que se ha creado y la complejidad de sus personajes, definitivamente no tengo suficientes palabras para explicar lo impresionante (en buen sentido) que adentrarme en esta narrativa. Tiene sus toques sombríos pero también de humor, logras encariñarte con algunos personajes y despertar tu interés en otros, nunca nada es lo que parece ya que hay muchísimo secretos que es lo que le pone aquella intriga. Cabe resaltar que al principio me costó un poco agarrarle el ritmo porque no entendía algunos conceptos pero una vez pasé esa fase fue un viaje inolvidable, este libro será memorable para mi y no puedo esperar a seguir conociendo más. Amo demasiado a Harrow y a Gideon pero también extrañaré a otros personajes.
Rezension von Monika 4.5 Sass, humour, pop cultural references death threats in the front, loneliness and tragedy in the back. Definitely some pacing issues in the middle, but the humour still gets to me. Original review: WTF did I just read. In the best way possible, of course. To be fully honest, I didn't understand shit what was going on on the first 100 pages or so, but the humour and Gideon's character kept me going and then.. what a ride. Real laugh out loud moments, a ton a swearing, gore.
