Enjoyable if you disregard the lack of proper research. It was wrong about the Czech alphabet (they never used cyrilics, but their other slavonic brother - glagolitic - and that was before the 11th century), so I can’t be sure about the things I don’t know about. Light, mindless read, easily forgettable

Absolutely loved this book, especially Dorian the gourmet french gargoyle! Lots of lovely little details that really make the story come alive. So glad to hear it's the first in a series, going to be waiting with baited breath for the next installment.

Es hat gedauert um in das Buch reinzukommen, da der Schreibstil sich am Anfang ganz schön schleppend. Dann gibt es ein paar Wiederholungen, die es nicht leichter machen.

Später passiert alles Schlag auf Schlag und es tauchen einige interessante Charaktere auf. Sodass man einen Cozy Fantasy Roman mit Crime vor sich hat. Es machte mehr Spaß beim Lesen und viele Ideen versprechen Unterhaltung, aber der romantische Anteil war minimal bis schlecht ...

Zum Ende hin konnte es mich nicht zu 100 Prozent überzeugen und ich bin mir noch nicht sicher, ob ich den zweiten Teil lesen werde.
