Rezension von Natália Oliveira<blockquote><b><i>“ For dreams, too, are ghosts, desires chased in sleep, gone by morning.” </i></b></blockquote> Libba Bray is such a fantastic author! I love the dark, spooky vibe that both this series and the Gemma Doyle trilogy have and how she manages to immerse the reader in the book as well as insert the story in the historical setting perfectly. I also love how she uses it to do some social critique and insert important topics such as xenophoby, misogyny, and racism into the story. The characters are diverse and complex and each of them is important in a way to the end goal. I like that now all the Diviners have finally come together and I can't wait to see more of their dynamics and interactions with each other in the next book. Henry and Ling were the stars of this novel, definitely. I loved their interactions and friendships and their backstories - although we've met Henry since book one, we didn't know much about him since The Diviners focused more on Evie. We get to know more about Theta and her secrets, but not as much as I would've like and the same goes for Mabel, who is evolving on her own and not only content on being on the background, and Jericho. The later one is the most misterious character of the bunch and with each book I grow more and more curious about him - also, I feel like he's underused in this novel, I would've like to have more scenes with him, becoming his own man and not pining for Evie so much. Evie, although being a good character in the first book, is extremely annoying here - she hurts her friends and leads Sam on at the same time she purposefully hurts Jericho. She's shallow and more of an annoyance than helpful. The only thing that got me during her storyline was the mystery about her brother. In this installment, we're finally gearing up to confront the big villain, the 'man in the stovepipe hat', who only made a brief appearance and has not revealed his full endgame yet, but the glimpses we had of him were scary. The ending here was fast-paced and I was surprised with the plot twists, although I guessed the main one right after the protagonists. Still, it left me wanting more the second I closed the book, so I can't wait to pick up the sequel.
