Rezension von Eine wirklich außergewöhnliche Geschichte, die mich absolut begeistert hat :)
Rezension von Natália Oliveira<blockquote><b><i>“Love is an enchantress—devious and wild. It sneaks up behind you, soft and gentle and quiet, just before it slits your throat.”</i></b></blockquote> I really enjoyed this book, as much as I think it was predictable. It's fast-paced and the writing is fluid and I found myself almost immediately drawn into the story and characters. That may be because of how atmospheric the book is and I loved it. I also enjoyed the romance and the relationship between the side characters. The ending is bittersweet, but it was a bit rushed, though, and things could've been better explained without leaving everything to a final monologue from one of the characters. But this didn't take from my enjoyment of the story, so I wasn't bothered as much. A good standalone fantasy/paranormal YA and I'm excited to read more from the author!
