3,5 Sterne

Vielversprechender Auftakt einer kriminalistischen urban Fantasy Reihe.
Eine 12 jährige die bereits ziemlich viel Eigenverantwortung übernimmt und voller Tatendrang nach vorne prescht, ohne in übersteigerte, fetzige Sprüche zu verfallen.
Ihre Entwicklung und Einfinden in die neue Zauberwelt ist zu rasant angelegt. Gerade gegen Ende, sind auch zu anderen Figuren direkt Bande geknüpft, die sich hätten etwas mehr Zeit lassen können.
Der Showdown spektakulär aber zu glatt. Das Buch harmonisiert die Gut gegen Böse Nummer für meinen Geschmack zu stark, weshalb ich jetzt doch nur 3 Sterne vergebe.
Hatte jedenfalls einen riesen Spaß beim Hören und bleib dran

A re-read.
loved it just as much as the first time ❤

I like detective stories.
I like fantasy.
So nothing beats a fantasy world where the detective is a living skeleton!

Derek Landy is very good at what he does and I can't wait to finish the series :D

this was a reread, probably my fifth attempt at a whole series reread and my 20th time reading book 1 i believe. 

i absolutely adore this series, first read it at 12 years old and it still means the world to me 13 years later
adventurous funny tense medium-paced
fast-paced

I’m surprised this is a middle grade. It’s quite complex and the themes are dark. Really enjoyed how mature Stephanie is for a 12 year old!
