Rezension von SaskiaDer Cover habe ich schön gefunden, deswegen habe ich es gekauft. Es lag lange auf meinem ungelesem Stapel. Man muss sich etwas auf die abstrakte Geschichte einlesen aber das Ambiente, die Liebesgeschichte mit der Liebe zur Medizin haben mir gefallen. Der Plottwist lädt ein um zu schauen, wie es weitergeht mit Band 2.
Rezension von Caroll-AnnTo be completely honest, I bought this book years ago purely because I fell in love with the cover….so in this case, I really did judge a book by its cover. It honestly frustrates me that it took me so long to finally pick it up and read it. I absolutely loved Hazel and Jack’s story. I’m usually not that drawn to books set in the 19th century, but this one just felt different. Hazel is such a compelling and likeable protagonist, and Jack is just as great. There are definitely a few characters I’d gladly punch in the face, mostly because the misogyny and sexism of that time period are so infuriating. I couldn’t put the book down and immediately ordered the second one in the series because I NEED to know what happens next. Do you ever buy books just because of their cover?
Rezension von MaraAm Ende war ich etwas verwirrt, warum es einen Unsterblichkeitstrank gibt… Aber die Story ist wirklich gut und auch das Setting in Edinburgh ist super schön.
Rezension von Scarlett MedusaIch bin echt schwer in die Geschichte rein gekommen aber das Ende hat mich schon ziemlich sprachlos zurückgelassen 3,5/5 ⭐
Rezension von JetteUnerwartet gut, historisches Edinburgh und dazu eine spannende Geschichte!
