The Wolf and the Woodsman: The Sunday Times Bestseller

... Aber trotzdem eine lohnenswerte Lektüre. Ich mochte den bildhaften, mystisch anmutenden Schreibstil. Der Handlungsgang hat mich an die alten athurischen Epen erinnert, was ich sehr ansprechend fand. Dennoch war mir das ganze zu voll von Grausamkeiten mit zu wenigen Lichtblicken zwischendurch, auch wenn das Ende sehr positiv war.

I've been quite disappointed with this book actually. The magical system and general story line are not not bad but I felt like nothing is really happening. The potential thrilling scenes were for some reason boring written which is why I couldn't really dive into this world. Especially boring was the time when Evike arrived at the city. She is finding her farther there and is sneaking out of the castle at night to be with him to teach her reading. That's it. A book with great potential but implementation sadly not succeeded. 3/5
