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

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.

I liked it but I have to say that I found some bits pretty long and some logical inconsistency. I am also still a bit unsure about the ending, though I feel like there was no other way really.

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

Skipped through half of the book and didn't regret it because it had no effect on the plot itself. This is probably a good book for people who are into excessive fictional worldbuilding.
