White Cat
von Holly Black
ABSOLUTELY FREAKING BRILLIANT. i‘ve now read this for the third (or fourth?) time and it just doesn‘t get boring. cassel as the narrator doesn‘t get boring, the world-building doesn‘t get boring, the plot is simply genius. if you like six of crows, or heist books, or a cool urban fantasy, or just entertaining, fun books, please give this one a try! i love cassel as the main character so so so much! experiencing the story through is eyes, with his voice, makes it 100 times better. he has great humor, and is deeply flawed, and i find it amazing being inside the brain of a brilliant con artist who just wants to be liked. then, holly black has outdone herself with the world-building. she writes a modern setting but with a twist: there‘s magic in our world and everybody knows that. the magic changes a lot, and i especially love how that becomes apparent through smaller details. since workers use their hands, everyone always wears gloves, which makes seeing bare hands shocking. at one point cassel describes the typical-to-him-song of someone being cursed into loving someone. finding my way into this world of curses and criminal activity happened so seamlessly, and it‘s just convincing to the point that it feels real. last point; the plot. THE PLOT. it‘s so good. i love cool heist moves and this book has some of the best. even though i remembered most secrets, plans, and their outcomes, it‘s still so fun to read about the craziness in this book. on to book 2 now!

Ich bin über "The Darkest Part of the Forest" auf diese Autorin aufmerksam geworden und wollte unbedingt mehr von ihr lesen. Also griff ich zur Serie "Curse Workers". Ich hatte große Schwierigkeiten, einen Einstieg in dieses Buch zu finden. Man stolpert regelrecht in eine Welt hinein, die unserer zwar ähnelt, aber doch "magischer" zu sein scheint. Lange wird man als Leser im Dunkeln gelassen, was eigentlich aus welchen Gründen passiert und erst ab der Hälfte des Romans erfährt man Details. Mich hat das schon ziemlich gestört, andererseits ist es Band 1 einer Trilogie und ich denke, dass in den folgenden Geschichten mehr passiert. Ich werde jedoch die Reihe nicht weiterlesen.

This book sucked me in within the first few pages, which is pretty rare. I liked the story, the mystery and Cassel. I had some minor problems with the "magic" or as it was called in the book "worker"-part, but as I said they were minor. It just took a bit longer getting used to the world Cassel is living in. I have to say, even though Cassel grew up in a really messed up family, he is a likable character.
