I want more from these books. They have potential, but they’re just not meeting the standards I’m used to with well developed and explained magic systems.

The magical concepts introduced here are interesting.
2nd reading: I liked this a lot more than I remember liking it this winter. Winter blues perhaps?

It follows its pattern so if you liked the first two, this one will be good for you too. I think I liked the mystery better here, and I'm finding the changing dynamics between main characters to be interesting.

Entertaining sequel, more mysteries and Alex trying to be killed. I enjoyed Luna much more in this one, but I still think that Alex is kind of a dick, sometimes. The dungeon dimension was fun!

Oh, das hier mochte ich sehr gerne. Es ist nicht nur eine Mystery-Geschichte; sondern kippt mehr in Richtung Detectivroman. Zwar war die Magie nicht ganz so cool, wie im ersten Band, aber ich liebe Anfang, Ende und die Figuren. Insbesondere Letztere haben so ein tolles Character Development und interagieren  toll miteinander. Ich bin Fan und freue mich auf das, was jetzt kommt.
