Book of the Night by Oliver Pötzsch
3.0
Interesting book.. but I have so many questions!
First off, why is this mysterious book (which is in the damn title) only really mentioned towards the end of the book? Second, why was the musketeer presence lacking in this book? Third, what the hell kind of ending was that?
Yeah, so I have questions and this book didn't really answer a whole bunch of them. In the Book of the Night, you will meet Lucas. He's pretty young when he watches both of his parents get murdered. From that moment, he was on the run. Now he's trying to save his own neck while trying to find his sister.
Now if you remember any musketeer movie ever made, you will probably find some similarities in this book. Lucas ends up joining a gang of orphans in order to survive better off in the world. However, that's short lived because he leaves them high and dry when they decide to kill innocent people. Somewhere along the way, he ends up joining the army of the Black Musketeers.
Throughout the book you see that he's trying to find his sister. Once he finally does, that's when this whole book come into play. Apparently these two kids were a freaking key to finding this book. Again, I had questions people! Overall, it was an interesting book to listen to and I might dive into the second book just to see if I will get more musketeer-ness or more information about this book.
