Der letzte Teil der Hauptreihe ist wie alle anderen Bücher in der Reihe genial. Der Anfang ist sehr kurios und ich war etwas skeptisch, aber der Subplot

Spoiler

mit Nimue und Condwiramurs

hat dann alles in ein spannendes Licht gerückt. Einige der Höhepunkte des Romans haben mich jedoch nicht so stark bewegt wie die Vorgänger, was einerseits daran lag, dass ich durch die Videospiele einer der größten Plottwists schon kannte und andererseits fand ich einige Momente sehr abgestumpft geschrieben und die Reaktionen der Charaktere haben mich teilweise verwundert. Das ist aber auf hohem Niveau angemerkt.
Das Ende ist sehr sonderbar. Man mag darüber denken, was man möchte, aber speziell zu diesem Teil hat es schon gepasst.

The way women are portrayed in this book make me very uncomfortable. Also the ending makes no sense...

• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

I’m too disgusted right now to give an in-depth review. All you have to know is sexualization of a minor, sexual assault of a minor, incest, an over all aura of misogyny combined with the slowest pace I’ve ever seen in a book. The stupidest book I’ve ever read!
