Reviewed by Kara Am Anfang war es ein wenig schwierig in das Buxh reinzukommen, das es auf einmal immer wieder kurze Abschnitte gab aus Perspektiven der Nebenfiguren, woran ich mich erst richtig gewöhnen musste. Aber ohne diese Perspektiven hätte man viele relevanten Dinge neunmal auch nicht erfahren. Außerdem wurde in diesem Teil schon von Anfang an ein ziemlich großer Fokus auf die Magie gesetzt, was für mich persönlich ein wenig komisch war, da auf einmal total andere Dinge relevant waren, als das was man davor erlebt hat. Doch die storyline wird Richtung Ende immer spannender.

Reviewed by luna stormblessed[pre read] i would sell every organ i have for this book [update] uhm excuse me? i really love this sequel! i noticed that i missed reading about the characters massively when i started the book. what i really enjoyed here is that the plot is building up slowly. every chapter is precisely crafted to lead us towards the big finale of the book and god it was TRULY worth it. the friendship between kel and conor, the side characters who turn out to be fukking ICONS DAMN yes i love fantasy stories like this x
