A charming fairy tale for not-too-bright 13 year old boys

Much better than Dreams and Shadows, on account of the decrease in whining, and increase in dogs.

It's a great sequel to Dreams and Shadows, but calls for intense focus to keep up with who said what and agreed upon what.

120 pages in. I had to call it. DNF. I really really wanted to enjoy it, but I just couldn't get into it! Definitely not as good as the first one!

I think this second story is better than the first book (Dreams & Shadows) - it feels more cohesive from start to finish. It still carries that same eerie fairy-magic atmosphere, which I love. Colby continues to be a fascinating character who is easy to cheer for.

Leider eine ziemlich mittelmäßige Fortsetzung zu einem ersten Teil, der auch ziemlich mittel war.

Ich finde das sehr schade, denn ich liebe die Welt und die Art und Weise, wie sie erzählt wird. Einige Ansätze, wie alles um Yashnar, sind soo spannend. Aber leider kommt dann die Story und ödet mich komplett an. Ganze spannende Storylines (wie alles rund um Ewan...) werden weg geworfen, zwischenmenschliche Beziehungen bleiben flach. Sehr schade!

PS: Ich will den Begriff "The Holocaust Man" nie mehr in irgendeinem Kontext lesen.
