1.0

"Sie hören sich an, wie die Heldin aus einem sehr schlechten Roman." Das war sicher von der Autorin nicht so beabsichtigt, aber es stimmt leider weitestgehend.
Ich habe dieses Buch gelesen, nachdem ich die Netflix Serie gesehen habe. Die Figur des Benedict ist nicht wiederzuerkennen. Die Dynamik der Figuren in der Familie Bridgerton ist vergleichbar: unterhaltsam. Leider hat dieses Buch aber Hauptfiguren.
Es handelt sich hier um eine Aschenputtel Geschichte. Das Machtungleichgewicht zwischen "Aschenputtel" und dem "Prinz" ist sehr prominent, allerdings wird sich nicht kritisch damit ausseinandergesetzt. Wem das in romantischen Beziehungen gefällt, wird hier sicher auf seine Kosten kommen. Andernfalls wird man wohl, wie ich, hoffen, dass "Aschenputtel" den "Prinzen" sitzen lässt und weit, weit wegrennt. Zusätzlich wären Konsequenzen für die Handlungen unseres "Prinzen" sehr willkommen. Aber das wäre wohl der Stoff für ein besseres Buch.
Am Schreibstil besonders störend fand ich die ständigen Wiederholungen, nichts wird nur angedeutet. Der Leser selbst muss keinerlei Verbindungen herstellen, man muss sich nichts merken, alles wird wiedergekäut.
