Rezension von Rojda3.25 Sterne. Keins meiner Lieblinge von Stiefvater aber trotzdem ganz okay. 😅
Rezension von Natália Oliveira<blockquote><b><i> “It's easy to convince men to love you, Puck. All you have to do is be a mountain they have to climb or a poem they don't understand.”</i></b></blockquote>A good book, but after everything I've heard about it, I was expecting something more out of this story and so it was a bit of a letdown. I loved the premise of the story, how Stiefvater used the water horses mythology and made it her own and I like how fluid and interesting her writing is, but things took a while to happen and I felt it was very slow going at times. The ending is very cliché and there's no big surprise or twist here, but I don't think that was an issue for me. I liked both lead characters separately, with their issues and goals, but I'm not a fan of the romance aspect - I'm finding that I'm not a huge fan of Maggie's main couples (yes, Blue and Gansey, I'm looking at you), but in the previous books, there were secondary characters/couple/plots that drew me in, and that's not the case here. Overall I enjoyed the book, but I went in expecting more and that was kinda disappointing. Still, I would recommend it, especially if it's your first Stievfater book.
