It's one of my favorite books
Good story, some things were predictable.
Look, I know I saw the film. But I could not remember anything from it except that she was a fallen star. Nothing else. So I borrowed this book from the public library and read it. It is, after all, from Neil Gaimann. And as with every other book from Neil, the story is great. Something out of this world. But I must admit I have problems with reading too many different perspectives that come together in the end. In this case I had a problem with the POV of the leaders of Stormhold and the Witches POV. Oh and the Madam Semele's too. But I pushed through, finished it. Because I know it would end good. Even though I was able to predict major plots even in the middle of the book. Anyways, sad that Tristran had to die. I wished they would have both lived a long life. That Yvainne being a star could rub off of him.
Fand ich sehr süß! Hat mich an einigen Stellen tatsächlich an das wandelnde Schloss erinnert. Eine sehr verträumte Fantasy Geschichte, die vieles aus bekannten anderen Erzählungen gekonnt verschmilzt. Hab es an einem Tag gelesen.
Immer wieder toll!
For most of the book I found it quite ordinary and boring, I must admit, and even if I liked the second half of it well enough, I don't think I will remember this as something special. Luckily it was rather short, so it wasn't so hard to get through. It's a prime example of the hero's journey, though. It's been a while since I talked about it in school, but this book is textbook hero's journey format and it was easy to spot the steps of it that I still remember.
I overall enjoyed Neil Gaiman's take on writing a fairy tale for adults. It was different from stories that I normally read and I quite liked that. The whole setting and Gaiman's writing style really managed to get me drawn into this magical story. However, as the story is quite short, the character development and the chemistry of the relationships suffered a bit. I also personally didn't like how violent this book got in a certain situations. In conclussion, I will give this book a three star rating overall!
3,5 Sterne Schönes Märchen für Zwischendurch. Ich hatte den Film zuerst gesehen und fand ihn ganz ok. Nachdem ich erfahren hatte, dass die Buchvorlage von Neil Gaiman stammt musste ich diese kleine Geschichte natürlich lesen. Das Buch hat mir im Nachhinein besser gefallen, da es weniger kitschig ist.
[4.5] I loved it. My only problem was that I knew the movie adaption really well and the first 100 pages I always compered the book and movie and I was slightly irritated how different they are. But I have to say I love the book a lot more than the movie adaption especially the ending was in my opinion better.
Instant favorite! It was so magical and beautifully written. I would love to read more about Wall and Faerie.
