Reviewed by JulianeNachdem ich so viele Rezensionen gelesen habe, wie überraschend und gut das Ende war, bin ich doch etwas enttäuscht. Für mich lief es die gesamte Zeit auf ein solches Ende hinaus und auch denke ich, es hätte ein wenig besser sein können. Ich mag die Trilogie, und anders als die meisten, ist das erste Buch mein Lieblingsbuch. Die ganzen Plotdreher, die im Laufe von Buch 1, 2 und am Anfang von 3 geschehen waren, hatten mich auf ein ebensolches Ende eingestellt - aber das war leider nicht so, finde ich. Insgesamt eine sehr schöne Trilogie, die ich nur empfehlen kann! :) P.S.: Mein romantisches Herz hat am Ende auch auf ein Wunder gehofft - das nicht eingetreten ist :/
