Trudi Canavan

4.0 AVERAGE


Dies ist der zweite Teil der neuen Reihe „die Magie der tausend Welten“ von Trudi Canavan. Für das Verständnis ist es notwendig den ersten Band zuerst zu lesen! Eine Rezension dazu findet ihr unter meinen Rezensionen.

Als ich den zweiten Band in meiner Buchhandlung entdeckte habe ich nur zugegriffen, weil es von Trudi Canavan ist und ich immer wissen möchte wie es weitergeht. (Eine schlimme Krankheit!) Denn, den ersten Teil hatte ich als nur mittelmässig im Gedächtnis behalten. Ich nahm das Buch und fing mit eher weniger Lust darin zu lesen an. Und siehe da! Das entwickelte sich ja richtig gut!! Die Story nahm an Fahrt auf und wird richtig spannend!
Wir lesen wieder in verschiedenen Abschnitten, eingeteilt in Rielle und Tyen. Doch diesmal ist es besonders spannend da beide in Berührung mit dem Raen kommen, dem mächtigsten Zauberer aller Welten.
Rielle, immer noch damit hadernd, dass sie nicht Magie anwenden darf und den Engel anbetend, verschlägt es zu den Fahrenden. Weltenzigeuner die von Welt zu Welt reisen. Tyen hingegen, der nach wie vor nach einem Weg sucht, um Pergama in einen Mensch zurück zu verwandeln, schliesst sich den Rebellen an.

Ich finde dieses Buch ist eine wirklich gelungene Fortsetzung, die, und das ist eher selten der Fall, sogar noch besser ist als der Erste!

I'm really enjoying reading a slower paced series, it feels like I get to take my time following the story instead of it rushing towards an end goal.

In this book we learn more about different worlds and the people from these worlds, and how their attitudes to magic and the Raen shape this story.

I think the Raen is a really interesting character. It would have been easy to make him 'the villan' or 'evil' but he is complex, and we almost get to make our own mind up on how we feel about him.

The thoughts Tyen and Rielle had about each other at the end of the book suggested there could be a romance in the future. Not sure how I feel about that as it is great to read a series where romance isn't a main theme.


Really looking forward to see where the story goes now that Tyen and Rielle's paths have crossed.

Ooof, these books are good. If I'd remembered how good, I might not have waited so long to read this sequel.

It's strange, though. These aren't flashy, showy books. The characters don't grab you by the throat and force you to read and devour everything about their story. The pace is slow, meditative, quiet, even when discussing moments of horror and bloodshed.

There's almost nothing entirely predictable about the story either. I want to not wait for the final chapter, to read it before I forget again how much I want to. But also I know that even waiting years won't make those final pages any less enjoyable.

Very good definitely better and more actiony than the last one. The ending was so unexpected!!!! Can’t wait for the next one. No idea what’s going to happen next!!!

This book was intense and oddly hard for me to get into. This is not a bad thing, it is just the story took a while to develop and for me to fully realise what type of book this was going to be. I think I am too quick to compare one series by an author to another they have written and that was my issue with this one I was too quick to assume this book was going to follow a similar path to The Black Magician series. That was my own fault and I realised this about 100 pages in.

This book took me a full week to finish (unheard of for me) and I am actually glad I took it at a slower pace because it allowed me to appreciate the story and allow it to sink in a bit more. It was confusing, much like the first book, because it had two independent stories going on and I was continually trying to connect the two and make sense of them. Thankfully, this book really connects the two stories together and you are instead following two story threads which interlink instead of being independent, it just took a while for me to notice this.

I would recommend this series to anyone who likes a very well rounded world and for their fantasy to be really quite fantastical. There are only two complaints I have and they are that there were dual narrators, I hate flicking back and forth I always like one more than the other, and my other complaint is that you don't get to learn more about the worlds they visit. I would really like that, but I know there are only so many page you can make a book. As a whole I'm enjoying this story and cannot wait for more to come.

Me gustó mucho más el primero porque se mantiene interesante durante todo el libro y no podía parar de leer, en el segundo la primera mitad me resultó lenta y muy introductoria, aunque esa introducción sea útil, pero la segunda mitad me gustó mucho más y el fin es genial, aún así creo son 4 estrellas y si me forzas 4.5.
