Nach der sorgfältigen Anwendung von jeder Menge Hirnschmalz, etwas Talent und ganz viel wirrem Geschreibsel ist es endlich so weit: Band 2 der Diener-Reihe ist ab sofort im Handel erhältlich – hier als Taschenbuch und ab dem 24.11. auch als Ebook auf Amazon!

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.

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.

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.

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.

Reader, I murdered her.

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!
