A review by snooty1
Book of the Night by Oliver Pötzsch
3.0
I'd like to start with something that has NOTHING to do with the book...I had no idea until I listened to this audiobook that I was horribly butchering the author's last name. It literally sounds nothing like its spelled.
Aside from that disturbing revelation, I enjoyed this book.
I listened to this with my daughter, and this is most definitely YA. Neither of us were offended in anyway, and when they said the word "ass" once, my daughter giggled for about 10 minutes. To the point, this is NOT the Hangman's daughter series, its much more "light and airy" and prototypical in its story-telling.
There is still the underlying fear and contempt for religious fervor that tends to be a recurring theme in Oliver's books (I no longer trust myself to even write his last name). which I personally love.
Narration was....ok. Not the best, but definitely not the worst.
Story: entertaining, and YA.
