This isn't fantasy. This is philosophy by means of fantastical elements. A complex as well as easy read. Funny and fun and deeply sad and weird and wonderful.
This was a feverdream
But a very good one!

Ich habe nicht gewusst, was mich erwartet, als ich das Buch gekauft habe. Besser ist, du weißt es auch nicht. Beautiful.
War nicht schlecht. Fand es aber sehr komplex an manchen Stellen.
Definitiv kein leichtes sommerbuch für nebenbei, aber mir hat es sehr gut gefallen 💀🪽♥️
3,75-4 ⭐ Liebe die Atmosphäre. Liebe die Charaktere und den super trockenen Humor. Nicht besonders stark im Plot aber das erwarte ich bei einem olivie Blake auch nicht mehr 😅 Leider sehr viele, sehr verwirrende Zeit Sprünge. Kein richtiger roter Faden was Handlung angeht. Wenn ihr darüber hinweg sehen könnt und bekannt mit Olivie Blakes Schreibstil seid, absolut empfehlenswert.
funny near the end
Imagine, you start your day with a regular exorcism of a ghost haunting his home and end your day with trying to free death and your friends from an immortal game and a hungry demon king ... A wonderful story of dealing with mortality and immortality, especially for the MMC. The characters all seem to be interwoven with each other in their own unique ways and trying to understand their reasons and actions. Would have loved to see more of the Vi (who I still picture as the black cat from Kiki's Delivery Service), but the characters were all interesting in their own way (go off Death, you sassy king). The Game seems confusing at first, but becomes clear as the story goes on and even yourself as the reader try to understand the meaning of mortality. The writing style (at least for me) is refreshing and easy to read.
I am very confused but also very impressed
I don’t know if it was the multiple characters views or times and location or whatever but I was very confused while reading this and still so incredibly intrigued to see how it all turns out. It was my first Olivie Blake book and I find her writing style very poetic and unique. I don’t really know if I like it tho but I think I’ll read more from her
