Enjoyable enough, but basically exactly the same novel as her earlier [b:Dark Matter|11239488|Dark Matter|Michelle Paver|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1402034852l/11239488._SY75_.jpg|13203928].

Perfekt, einfach nur perfekt!
Schon der Vorgänger "Dark Matter" war ein kleines Meisterwerk des unterkühlten Horrors: die Geschichte einer glücklosen Expedition in die Arktis. Diesmal ist es eine Bergsteiger-Expedition im Himalaja und man hätte fürchten können, dass die Story zu ähnlich ist, ein bloßer zweiter Aufguss. Ja, die Story ist ähnlich, aber so überzeugend und stimmig bis ins kleinste Detail erzählt, dass dies keine Rolle spielt.
Es gibt viele erfolgreiche Schriftsteller,die ihre Leserschaft mit einem nicht enden wollenden Feuerwerk an Ideen fesseln, obwohl ihr schriftstellerisches Handwerk bestenfalls mittelmäßig ist. Und es gibt jene, die ein altes Motiv nehmen (wie hier die Ghost Story) aber durch ihr schieres handwerkliches Können kleine Meisterwerke schaffen. Michelle Paver ist so eine begnadete Handwerkerin.
Verdikt: lesen, bevor es ein anderer tut.
