Reviews

[Đenis · Rating 4 out of 5]

Druhý diel Mýtu ma bavil tročku viac než jednička. Možno to je tým, že si začínam zvykať na nový bláznivý svet a bláznivé príbehy autora. Dvojka sa vlečie rovnako v zmysle celkom obsiahleho úvodu do šlamastyky, následného zohannia party, priebežného riešenia príbehu a extra rýchleho vyriešenia záhady. Samozrejme zase netradičného vyriešenia. Autor má zmysel pre humor a sem tam tu zachytávam paralelu a narážky na reálny svet.
