Beschreibung

When Ombria’s prince, Royce Greve, breathes his last—in palace rooms high above the city—he leaves his young son and mistress at the mercy of his ancient and powerful great-aunt, Domina Pearl. Meanwhile, in a dreamlike underworld peopled by Ombria’s ghosts, a sorceress weaves her spells and brews her potions, never revealing her real face—or true heart. And somewhere in between, the struggle to rule the whole of Ombria—both its light and shadows—will rest in the hands of those whose fractured lives align like the lost pieces of a magical puzzle….

This was somewhere between classic and modern fantasy, or like classic fantasy with a more modern touch. There was a mysterious, dream- or fairy tale like atmosphere, the setting is an essential part of the story and the characters are interesting, but not as characterized in detail as I´m used to from more modern works. I feel both the detachment from the characters as well as the story´s lack of a clear focus are what kept me from loving this. The story doesn’t feel muddled, however there isn’t a certain plan or situation the characters are in for a majority of the story, so it never felt like I was settled into the “actual” plot. There is more of a constant flow from one development to the next, especially for Lydea. I liked how full of mysteries and creative ideas this is. Especially everything around the sorceress Faey really intrigued me. The setting as a whole was very atmospheric and fascinating, and the writing is both pretty and effective. It worked really well in the audio book. I also liked the theme of history and the tales that remain from it.
