This irresistable masterpiece has immediately become one of my instant favourites and is without a doubt the best fantasy I’ve read this year.

Review: A BETRAYAL IN WINTER (THE LONG PRIZE QUARTET #2) by Daniel Abraham
5 stars, cinco estrellas, très bien
Review: THE SPRING OF THE RAM (HOUSE OF NICCOLO #2)
And so it begins, and so once again Dear Dorothy has proven me wrong. Remember what I, in blissful ignorance have claimed after reading the prequel: that this series was great, but could never be as breathtaking and extraordinary as the Lymond Chronicles. I take it back. It can be as good, and this installment is as good: this is another testament to my favourite author’s brilliance.
ARC Review: THE COUNCILLOR
Buckle up and fasten your seat belt, folks, cause I’m about to demand a HYPE for this.
Review: HARRY POTTER AND THE HALF-BLOOD PRINCE (HARRY POTTER #6)
The one about Tommy Riddle’s past. After five books where we only got to know that Voldy is a mad, powerful racist, we finally get to know his road there better.
Review: BEST SERVED COLD (FIRST LAW WORLD #4)
Behold: my first five star-read of 2021. ‚Best Served Cold‘ features an expertly constructed plot from the master of character writing. It’s a wild mixture of The Count of Monte Cristo and Kill Bill, a revenge story par excellence, graced with Abercrombie’s fleshed-out anti-heros: his best book yet.
Review: A GAME OF THRONES (A SONG OF ICE AND FIRE #1)
An absolutely groundbreaking masterpiece. Its influence on modern fantasy can hardly be overestimated. Amazing twists and characters… and winter is still not here.
Review: THE FINAL EMPIRE (MISTBORN #1)
YES! I loved it! Don’t look at me like that, I was so friggin afraid that I wouldn’t enjoy it. In a way, reading the book itself made me feel high stakes since I was so, so, so afraid that it would disappoint me as much as The Way of Kings did – and that didn’t happen!
Review: LAST ARGUMENT OF KINGS (THE FIRST LAW #3)
A dark, bloody, impressively written wrap-up to a stellar trilogy that leaves room for other books to pick up the action again. I had a hard time getting into this trilogy but in the end all I can say is: it’s one of the best trilogies I’ve ever read. Definitely the second-best trilogy I read this year after the Gentleman Bastard trology (crying intensifies will I ever get The Thorn of Emberlain?).
Rezension: Das Unsichtbare Leben der Addie LaRue
Schwab hat eine epische Geschichte voller Herzschmerz, Liebe und Cleverness geschrieben, die von ihrer außergewöhnlichen Protagonistin getragen wird: Addie LaRue ist eine Figur, die man – ironischerweise – nie vergessen wird.
