Generally speaking: this was really something different from anything I‘ve read before. Specifically speaking: it wasn‘t my cup of tea.
The idea of the book, dragons in a victorian time, trying to get along with life, was really something that spoke to me on more than just a few levels. After Rainbow Rowell talked about it on her twitter account, I was instantly hooked. Turned out this was (for a not native english speaking person like me) anything but easy to read (I‘m used to reading english book, really. But this was something else). That probably took the fun out of it for me a bit. Ghere were really several aspects about the book that I thoroughly enjoyed! The character development for some of the characters was fabulous. Also for more than one time, I had to remind myself that we‘re talking about dragons here. How. Cool. Is. That. And it was really cool. If the story would’ve been about humans, I would‘ve even less enjoyed it. And I did enjoy it. But it sadly wasn’t enough to catch me and I finished this a bit sad, because it didn’t meet my expectations. Even tho I don’t really know what my expectations were.
