Rezension von CarinaDNFed at about 30%.<br/>The beginning was very strong, but then it just went down and down. Alice is no character of her own right, she just goes along, ot rather against, what people are telling her. She does stupid things all the time and then is like "oops that wasn't such a good idea." I am being very harsh here. I just really can't get behind the characters at all. The settings seemed so perfect and interesting and then it was not. It might be, because I don't enjoy north mythology and I find it fits not at all with the rest of the setting. It all feels very Harry-Pottery-but-then-not. Such a pity I spent 7 Euros on this. At least I didn't get a physical book that I have to get rid of now.
