Review: GOLDEN SON (RED RISING #2) by Pierce Brown
If you want a fast-paced, action-packed book, like ‚Here comes the cavalry!‘, and don’t care about a completely logical plot, then you’ll highly enjoy this one. If you prefer something a bit slower and more character-centered, with a careful buildup and a perfect plot, you’ll have issues.
Review: SOUL OF THE WORLD (THE ASCENSION CYCLE #1)
Mealing has written a terrific debut filled with excellent worldbuilding, fascinating characters, and a plot that couldn’t be more high stakes. Highly recommended for veterans of Fantasy and lovers of original magic systems- and also for fans of military/flintlock fantasy.
Review: ROTHERWEIRD (ROTHERWEIRD #1)
Rotherweird’s setting, characters, and writing style are a magnificent mixture of Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell, Stranger Things, and Doc Martin. It has that amazing combination of the charm of a rural British town, it has the witty, keen look at each individual character that lives in this town, and it has that mysterious vibes of somethiny otherworldly going on unnoticed. Something dangerous, something creepy- I LOVE IT.
Review: HARRY POTTER AND THE DEATHLY HALLOWS (HARRY POTTER #7)
To me, this is the perfect ending to the best series there ever was. Rowling has made a whole generation into readers with this series, and this is the worthy coronation. It’s beyond competition. There’s so much happening, so many threats, so many climaxes, so much heartbreak and so much love.

Serien-Rezension mit Spoilern: ERAGON von Christopher Paolini
Nette Einführung für Kinder – aber nicht originell für alle, die Star Wars gesehen haben. Orks, die Urgals heißen. Die Rückkehr der Jedi-Ri…äh, Drachenreiter!
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.
