Rezension von DeniseEine tolle Welt für Jugendliche. Und auch für Erwachsene schön geschrieben. Etwas komplex mit all den verschiedene Wesen. Aber die Geschichte selbst hat mir sehr gut gefallen. Eine richtige Abenteuergeschichte mit ganz viel Fantasy. Richtig toll auch gestaltet.
Rezension von KrissiFür ein Kinderbuch ab 10 habe ich schon eine Weile gebraucht um es zu Ende zu lesen. Ich habs generell immer sehr schwierig mit Kindern als Protagonisten, meistens sind sie einfach da und unterscheiden sich nicht grossartig zu anderen Kinderfiguren in Büchern. Christopher und Mel waren nicht wirklich fesselnd und haben mich nicht grossartig interessiert. Die Welt und die Wesen jedoch fand ich mega spannend, das Konzept fand ich auch eher originell und habe sowas in der Art schon lang nicht mehr in einem Kinderbuch gelesen. Ich fande auch die Nebencharaktäre mega herzig und wie sie miteinander interagiert haben, der found family trope was serving!! Fazit: Für ein Kinderbuch wurde ich genug unterhalten. gehts besser? ja Würde ich es empfehelen? absolut wenn du unter 14 bist
Rezension von Das war unglaublich. Es hat mich in eine andere Welt entführt.

Enquanto isso do outro lado do Entrecaminho, uma menina está fugindo pela sua vida a Mal, está sendo perseguida por um assassino ...
