Habe ich, als ich das Buch als Kind zum ersten Mal gelesen habe, manche Passagen laut gelesen, nur für den Fall, dass ich etwas aus dem Buch herauslesen kann? 
Ja.
Mache ich das zehn Jahre später immernoch? 
Definitiv!

wtf bro😭 this book broke my heart and then ripped it completely into pieces just a few pages later😭 you better make it right again in the next book cornelia


but seriously, this book is incredible and so so much better than the first one! The first book didn’t quite catch me and it dragged a little bit, but this time I was immersed in the story and it felt like I was right there in the book with the characters, taking every step and fighting every battle with them. And now as I have finished the book it leaves me kinda empty, longing to go back again and walk side by side with all the characters I’ve grown to love.

Really good, parts of it were slow but the writing is beautiful and the storyline interesting. I will be reading the final book in the trilogy at some point.

4.0

These characters are so complexly flawed that I became so angry with them, a feeling that bled over into my opinion of the book, despite acknowledging that this is the outcome of extremely creative writing. I preferred the story in the ink world compared to the reverse in the first book. Mo remains my favorite character.
