Rezension von Amely🦋Ich muss zwar sagen, dass ich gegen Ende immer noch etwas verwirrt war, dennoch mochte ich das Buch ganz gerne!! Da das Buch ja Teil einer Reihe ist, gehe ich mal davon aus, dass sich meine Verwirrung in Zukunft aufklärt. Ich mag es unglaublich gerne, wenn Autoren ihre eigenen Erfahrungen in ihr Buch mit einfließen lassen. Dadurch gehen einem die intendierten Emotionen, die Szenerie und die Handlungen noch näher als sie sonst würden!! Ich mochte das Buch ganz gerne, die Charaktere sind interessant und komplex (und manchmal nervig was in meinen Augen etwas positives sein kann) Der Erzählstil ist ebenfalls so interessant, dass man sich in den Worten verliert! Ich kanns kaum erwarten das zweite Buch zu lesen!!
Rezension von Caroll-AnnThis is another book that had been sitting on my TBR shelf for quite a while. I remember seeing it all over TikTok a few years ago, and it immediately caught my interest, but for some reason, it took me ages to finally pick it up. Now I honestly can’t believe I waited that long. From the very beginning, I felt like I was right there with Bree the entire time. I was completely immersed in her world and everything she uncovered along the way. I’m already so excited to read the second book because I need to know what happens next, especially after that ending. I really loved all the characters, as well as the magical storyline that’s intertwined with real-life issues like racism and sexism, and how deeply rooted they still are in our society. At the same time, the book explores grief, healing, and finding your identity. It’s absolutely worth reading
