The Ocean at the End of the Lane by Neil Gaiman
Did not finish book. Stopped at 51%.

Neil Gaiman. That‘s the explanation.

Also damn that book is depressing.

The beginning felt really pointless but after around 50 pages the story  finally began. I cried in the end. But unfortunately the characters just seem really distant. They are all so overly polite that they never seem to show their true emotions. The romance lacked everything a romance needs and the randomness of some characters was more annoying than endearing.

It was different than the others. At time i thought too easy but then there was a twist as always. Good, and the finale thrilling. Nothing new for our girl AC

Richtig tolles Buch. Und es ist Canon! I loved it. Die Charaktere sind fantastisch und die Jedi Meister sind so viel nahbarer. Selbst  Windu konnte ich was abgewinnen und ich hasse ihn eigentlich 😂

It was a good book. But god damn. Nobody has patience, they are all so reckless and swear and don’t respect Christophers boundaries. I‘m so mad for him. Fuck the world.

A very nice story. At times a bit long, at times a bit fast (time skips and recollections). But over all amazing world building.
