I’ve read it and the best I can say about it is that it’s finally over. This the biggest disappointment of my reading life. King of Scars was a step back down the ladder, Rule of Wolves was the equivalent of jumping into an abyss. Because the plot is a clusterfucking convenience that doesn’t make any sense at all – and because this whole book is basically a marketing skit for the adaptation.

Spoilery Series Review: THE INHERITANCE CYCLE by Christopher Paolini
Unpopular opinion time once again – here’s what I think about the Inheritance Cycle aka Star Wars with Dragons. Basically: it’s a good intro into the genre for kids. And that’s it.
Quick-Review: TOWER OF FOOLS/ NARRENTURM by Andrzej Sapkowski
(English version below) Eine sinn- und handlungslose, ständig mäandernde Groteske, gefüllt mit viel zu vielen Informationen und Details, ohne Fortschritt und mitreißende Charaktermotivation.
Review: LEAVING THE WAY (THE WAY TRILOGY #2)
Well, I so didn’t expect to not like this one. I really loved the prequel, after all: that one was perfectly paced and a brillantly balanced mixture of sassy sarcasm and dystopian elements. This one wasn’t. Somehow, it all felt off to me, starting right at the start. My biggest issues were with the protagonist’s actions while her best friend was kidnapped, the villain’s incompetence, and the pacing.
Kritik: DAS SALZ DER FRIESEN
Andreas Scheepker hat sicherlich unerschöpfliches Wissen über Ostfriesland während der Reformation vorzuweisen – ein literarisches Meisterwerk ist „Das Salz der Friesen“ aber deswegen leider noch lange nicht. Zwei Sterne.
Kritik: WIR VERLORENEN
Jana Taysens dystopisches Debüt lässt nach starkem Beginn ebenso stark nach und wandelt sich zu einer erzwungenen Romanze, die sich völlig unnatürlich anfühlt.
