3.75

Habe >100 Seiten gebraucht um reinzukommen, das lag hauptsächlich am Schreibstil, der einiges zu Wünschen übrig gelassen hat.
Das Buch ist teils chaotisch und sprunghaft geschrieben & die angepriesene Enemies to Lovers Lovestory kaum vorhanden.

Ab ca. Seite 100 habe ich das Buch in einem Stück bis zum Ende gelesen. Sprich die Spannung war gut & ich wollte wissen wie es ausgeht, jedoch hat der Schreibstil, die an und für sich tolle Idee/Geschichte des Buches zerstört. Tolle Idee, schlechte Umsetzung.

Lese jetzt trotzdem Band 2 Nightbane, da ich es schon zuvor gekauft hatte. Bin gespannt ob es besser wird als Band 1.
