V.E. Schwab gehört zu meinen Lieblingsautoren und so wusste ich, dass ich dieses Buch von ihr auf jeden Fall lesen muss. Der Plot ist typisch V.E.

Beautiful writing but I got a bit tired of the dragging out of the main plot. By the last quarter of the novel, the ending becomes fairly evident and I just wanted the author to get in with it. The historical research was quite evident and yet also quite flawed in places.

This didn’t really do it for me.
The plot is clever and the writing is pretty good, but I just kept finding that I didn’t care all that much. By about halfway through, I mostly felt like I was reading it just to finish it. It also felt too long.
Overall, it was okay, but not the brilliant book I kept hearing about.
