O Dardo de Kushiel by Jacqueline Carey

lucardus's review against another edition

3.0

Das Buch hat mich nicht über die volle Länge halten können. Es gab irgendwann nicht mehr die Erwartung, dass Überraschendes passieren könnte oder ich komplexere Handlung zu erwarten hätte. Aus den sicherlich vorhandenen Möglichkeiten macht mir die Autorin zu wenig. Ich habe abgebrochen, nachdem ein "Problem" einfach durch Gesang gelöst, das nächste Kapitel eine ähnlich simple Lösung bereithielt. Das reicht mir dann insgesamt nicht, um meine Neugier und die Spannung aufrechtzuerhalten, zumal die Welt an sich nicht viel anders als Europa ist, nur die Namen sind verballhornt. Ich war zuletzt dann eher gelangweilt.

Sometimes when I re-read books, especially when it's been a while (more than ten years in this case, I reckon), I worry that I'll realise the book is no longer as good as it was, that I no longer enjoy it.

I'm happy to say I still enjoyed it the second go-round! Also realised how long it actually is.

I will come back to this eventually, but I am just not in the mood for this atm

sauucyn's review against another edition

Hard read for me- the writing feels more complex which may make sense since it's an older book? Maybe I'll give it another shot in the future.

The world building was my favorite part of this book. I loved the glimpses into all the various cultures. I was totally immersed in the book while reading, even though political intrigue isn't usually my thing.
