Rezension von JessyIch mag es echt nicht schlechte Bewertungen abzugeben, aber hier konnte ich nicht anders... Die Idee hinter dem Buch ist super und mit der richtigen Umsetzung hätte das ein 4-5 Sterne Bewertung geben können. Das Pacing ist viel zu langsam. nach 200 Seiten ist immer noch kaum etwas passiert. Den ganzen "Kampf" am Ende hätte man viel interessanter ausarbeiten können. Der super krasse "Witches Ring", war gar nicht so super krass, mega enttäuschend. Wie, die können einfach rausgezogen werden?? Und dann beendet Maeve die ganze Sache mit ihren tollen Fähigkeiten, obwohl die Sage Witch direkt daneben steht?? Sollte Morena nicht die Überhand haben? Getoppt wird das noch davon, dass Pari auf einmal auch eine Hexe ist. In Buch 1 haben wir doch herausgefunden, dass Hexen sich gegenseitig spüren können. Eine besonders erfahrene Hexe wie Annie, sollte eine Pari sofort erkennen und nicht andersherum? Die 1.5 Sterne gibt es dennoch, da die Romantik hier besser geschrieben war, als in Band 1. Außerdem hat mir die Beziehung zwischen Annie, Mave und Hal ganz gut gefallen (Es gab nur zu viele Momente). Rune wieder zu sehen war die "Cherry on top". Vielleicht nehme ich das ganze auch etwas zu eng, weil ich beide Bücher jetzt hintereinander gelesen habe. 2 Cozy Reads wären vielleicht doch etwas zu viel für mich. Vor dem nächsten Band, lege ich erstmal eine Pause ein.
Rezension von Christa StünziThe most dangerous thing to lose is yourself How much of yourself should you change just to belong? And when does trying to please everyone around you become more dangerous than disappointing them? In Uncharmed by Lucy Jane Wood, we meet Annie – or Andromeda – a skilled witch who is far less confident in herself than she is in her magic. She tries desperately to be the best witch she can be, always seeking approval and trying to meet the expectations of those around her. In doing so, she risks losing something far more important than anyone’s approval: herself. Then she meets Maeve, a young witch who has only just discovered her magic and is still learning how to control it. As their story unfolds, we grow alongside Annie and Maeve, discovering with them what it can mean to belong, to accept yourself and to find the courage to be who you really are. Sometimes risking everything is the only way to find what truly matters. And perhaps that is the loveliest thing about Uncharmed: there is magic everywhere. The kind involving witches and spells, but also the kind we find in a family that accepts us for who we are, in unconditional love and in people who never ask us to become someone else in order to belong. And a little tip for everyone who normally can’t resist peeking at the last pages first: for once, you’re in luck! There are no spoilers waiting for you, but a playlist with the music that inspired the story and a recipe for a magical treat. ✨ 4/5 ⭐
