Rezension von Lenawundervoll atmosphärische Fantasy mit spannender Mystery, magischen Bibliotheken und machtvollen Büchern, Magiern und Dämonen. Warum habe ich so lang gewartet es zu lesen?! Es war fantastisch. Hat mich mitgerissen, miträtzeln und mitfühlen lassen bis zur letzten Seite. Große Empfehlung, auch als Hörbuch!
Rezension von booq_cafeAfter finishing this book I could not decide on how to rate it. On the one hand, there are quite a few details I didn’t like, but at the same time I found myself surrounded by new and intriguing characters. This is difficult for me, yet I‘m gonna try to put all my thoughts in this short review. Firstly, I am not entirely happy with the main characters. While I love Silas and like Nathaniel, I don’t know what to make of Elisabeth. She has such a gentle name and at first she also appears that way - gentle and naive. This changes FAST. One day she just sits at her table and reads and the next day she is perfect with a sword and cuts down several enemies. Mhhhh... I like her better that way, but this quick change out of nowhere doesn’t seem logical. By far the best character is Silas - a demon. How I love those dark and pretty creatures. Or not so dark at all? He is one of the most interesting characters I‘ve had the pleasure to „meet“ in a while. Nathanial could talk more. When he does, he is cunning, funny and charming all at once. Unfortunately, most of his time he spends brooding. Grimoires play a very big role in this story. They are books that can talk and have magic and feelings. As an enthusiastic booknerd, how can I not love that fact? Apart from that, most of the storyline is rather unimpressive. It’s not boring but also doesn’t leave you with the want to know more. However, the end was dramatic, a little sad and overall perfect.
Rezension von CarinaThis was such an imaginative, original story! I really really enjoyed it. Especially all the characters, who were so unique. I listened to on audible and kind of regretted my choice, because this is a book to be read as hardcover for all it's glory.
Rezension von sinafirst book of the year, and i loved it :)
Rezension von kathireads4,5 ⭐️ Mein Highlight in diesem Buch waren mit Abstand die drei Protagonisten. Ich habe deren Dynamik und deren Persönlichkeiten sehr geliebt. Besonders Silas. Genauso schreibt mal morally grey characters, die wirklich beängstigend und gefährlich, aber gleichzeitig einfach liebenswürdig sind. Hab ihn wirklich ganz sehr ins Herz geschlossen und glaube er könnte einer meine liebsten Charaktere ever werden. 🥹 Dazu die Romance, die in meinen Augen einfach zwischen allen drei Figuren stattfindet. Bin gespannt, ob die Novella noch mehr Anspielungen in die Richtung hat, aber für mich sind die drei einfach ein Trouple. 🤷🏼♀️ Der Plot inklusive dem Setting Bibliothek fand ich auch sehr toll umgesetzt. Hab die Kreativität geliebt, mit der die Autorin den Büchern Leben eingehaucht hat. Sorcery of Thorns fühlt sich nach High Stakes an, aber auf die gemütlichste Weise, wenn das Sinn ergibt. 😂 Die Geschichte hat mir einfach ein rundum gutes Gefühl gegeben. Zum letzten Satz hat es mir dann auch die Tränen in die Augen getrieben, weil ich so berührt und glücklich war. 🥰 Ich fands wirklich toll und freue mich die Charakter wiederzusehen. 😇
