I liked it REALLY much and didn't give it five stars because the beginning was sort of confusing. i will definitely read the next book, just not now because I have other stuff to read and I feel like this book had a really good conclusion.

What in the world did I just read? It was intriguing and beautiful and so so bizarre but I actually really liked it lol

An insult to the reader. How can several books be published about such nonsense? I kept reading because I just couldn't believe how such a bad and in the 2nd part of the book perverted story could be printed. Tasteless. I can only strongly advise against reading it. Persons like Seanan McGuire should not be allowed to publish books. There is already enough perversity in this world and we don't need authors dragging important tropics like diversity and gender through the mud.

I honestly don‘t know what to say. It wasn‘t bad but it also wasn‘t good. The plot was okay. I would read the other books but they are not my favourite i didn‘t understand what i was reading the whole time till now. I still don‘t know what i just read hahah. I mean for anyone who likes murder mysteries it‘s a good book but there are better ones tbh. A solid 3.5/5 star read

Ich fand die Idee eines Buches über Kinder, die wie Alice in eine andere Welt verschwinden und nach ihrer Rückkehr Probleme damit haben, sich einzufinden und von ihren Eltern nicht verstanden werden, eigentlich ziemlich originell. Das Buch hat mir auch ganz gut gefallen, allerdings ist es zu kurz, um die Welt vorzustellen, die 6-8 für die Handlung relevanten Personen einzuführen und gleichzeitig eine Mordserie stattfinden zu lassen, die am Ende aufgeklärt ist. Dafür hätte das Buch mindestens doppelt so dick sein müssen. Allerdings hat es mich doch gut genug unterhalten, dass ich Band 2 auf meine Wunschliste gepackt habe.
