Reviewed by sinni⭐️ 2 Leider super anstrengend geworden zu lesen in der zweiten Hälfte..Bin einfach froh dass ich durch bin. Das Buch fing sehr gut an, ich mag das Konzept auch so krass aber alles wurde leider viel zu langweilig zum Schluss hin (vorallem Kampfszenen). Manchmal waren so lange Stellen zu kompliziert für mich geschrieben mit den Fachbegriffen (was mich noch mehr gelangweilt hat und frustrierend war wegen der Unnötigkeit). Nicht wirklich Horror mäßig gruselig für mich aber es gab spannende Stellen. Hab nicht so eine Verbindung zu den Charakteren aufgebaut aber fand die auch nicht scheiße oder nervig oder so. Und wenigstens waren die Kapitel kurz ig💀
