Ich mochte Amari und das Spiel der Magier nicht so gerne, wie den Vorgänger.
Das lag zum einen daran, dass der Plot von wahnsinnig vielen Zufällen getragen wurde. Zum anderen wurde nichts erklärt, was im letzten Band auch nur im Vorbeigehen erwähnt wurde. Es wurde wohl darauf gebaut, dass man im ersten Band jederzeit nachschlagen kann, was man wissen muss. Leider hatte ich diesen aus der Bibliothek ausgeliehen und nicht zur Hand. Ganz abgesehen davon, dass diese Vorgehensweise echt nervig gewesen wäre.
P.S.: Wirklich nett von den Bösewicht*Innen, dass sie immer auf die Sommerferien warten, um Unfug zu treiben.

Spoiler
Brain-Dump of My Thoughts. I cannot believe that the plot line doesn't get resolved in this book, Amari lost her magic, and all the discrimination Amari was put through by Harlowe and everyone else. I'm only slightly frustrated by the cliffhanger because I can't pick up the next book in the series instantly. The reveals at the end weren't quite satisfying, but I did not see them coming (Merlin using the time-stop stone, especially Dylan winning the crown and a war inevitably starting). I was waiting on what Harlowe's supernatural ability was, and I expected it to be much more dangerousGraphic: Bullying and Xenophobia
