Reviewed by SteffiTolles Finale mit Potential Dieses der zweite Band der Reihe, der toll an die Handlung von Teil eins anknüpft, wobei man auch nach einiger Pause wieder gut in das Buch rein findet. Die Story geht rasant weiter und gerade durch die vielen Verstrickungen, die verschiedenen Handlungsorte, die vielfältigen Charaktere und die Geheimnisse bleibt es immer spannend und man möchte erfahren, was als Nächstes passiert. Daher fand ich das Buch beim Lesen, gerade im mittleren Teil, auch unfassbar fesselnd. Allerdings muss ich auch sagen, dass die Geschichte zum Teil etwas vor sich hin läuft, beziehungsweise der Fortgang der Handlung nicht immer ganz logisch erschien oder (für mich) nicht ganz erklärt wurde, was sich vor allem auf das Ende hin Schade, fand, aus dem man meiner Meinung nach mehr hätte rausholen können. Was ich hingegen wieder sehr positiv an dem Buch fand, waren die einzelnen Charaktere, die man immer weiter kennenlernt und die ihre ganz eigenen Eigenschaften aufweisen. Und auch der Schreibstil liest sich schön flüssig. Generell kann ich das Buch also auf jeden Fall empfehlen, für alle, die bereits Band eins gemocht haben, und fand es auch sehr fesselnd und mitreißend, wobei ich denke man hätte (gerade zum Ende hin) sogar noch mehr aus der Geschichte herausholen können.
