Swordplay: A Gendarmerie Magique Novel by Katharina Gerlach
3.0
* I was given a copy in exchange for an honest review*
I really enjoyed the last 50 pages of the book because I could finaly start enjoying the story. Since the begining there was this magic and nerls and stuff that I really didnt understant and it wasnt explained and it felt like this should have been like a second or third book in a series and you would have gotten used to the world and to all the stuff and the characters. But in this book we are thrown right in the middle and you're left wondering what is that, what does he mean and stuff like that. And I know there are some of the words explained on the back of the book but I didnt want to turn the pages every time I couldnt understand what that ment. I would have loved the book if things were more explained. Thats why I really liked the last pages. Because I got used to the stuff thats happening and finally understand what they were talking about.
I liked the characters but I didnt love them. I wanted to know them better but all they thought about was solving the case and work and stuff. I didnt like Druidus that much because I didnt get to know him and his releationship with Moira happend so quick. It was too sudden when he told her he loved her and wanted to marry her and stuff like that and it was just too quick and unrealistic.
I liked the plot and the whole thing with Moira having Wild Magic that was interesting.
There was this moment where Moira thought Druidus was cheating on her because she saw him kissing another girl and it was his mother. Like, What? They were kissing, not a peck on the cheek but kissing. ?
All in all, I enjoyed reading this book.
Actual rating 3.5
