Kerstin Gier schafft es echt tolle schlagfertige weibliche Hauptcharaktere zu schreiben, die realistisch sind.
Was ich auch häufig an YA-Büchern kristisiere ist, dass männliche Hauptcharaktere sich oft in moralischen Grauzonenen bewegen. Das ist bei Kerstin Gier nicht so. Die Charaktere sind zwar manchmal arrogant oder gemein, aber nicht mehr als die üblichen Teenager sind. Man hat nicht, dass Gefühl das Charaktere etwas absolut moralisch Verwerfliches tun.
Toll fand ich auch, dass hier angesprochen wurde das viele Schätzte (hier der Diamant) unrechtmäßig in die Hände Europas und die von Oligarchen gelangt ist.
Ein Kritikpunkt: asiatisch ist kein Beschreibungsmerkmal für das Aussehen. Der asiatische Kontinenent wird von Menschen verschiedener Ethnien bewohnt (indisch, russisch, japanisch, koreanisch). Das auf einen Typ zu stereotypisieren ist falsch. Man kann Charaktere auch anders beschreiben.
Abschließend möchte ich noch auf eine Sache hinweisen: EAT THE RICH. Es gibt keinen Menschen der ohne Ausbeutung und Korruption an seine Milliarden gekommen ist.
