When the patriarch of the Ballenger empire dies, his son, Jase, becomes its new leader. Even nearby kingdoms bow to the strength of this outlaw family, who have always governed by their own rules. But a new era looms on the horizon, set in motion by a young queen, which makes her the target of the dynasty's resentment and anger.

Der Klang der Täuschung

3 stars

Die ersten hundert und letzten zweihundert Seiten waren super, der Rest eher mittelmäßig bis öde. Alles in allem hätte vor allem der Teil, in dem Kazi und Jase durch die Wüste irren, gekürzt werden können. Vor allem konnte ich ihnen die Liebesgeschichte nicht abkaufen. Für mich geben die beiden einfach kein gutes Paar ab; da fehlt das gewisse Etwas. Außerdem hätte ich mir mehr Infos über die Geschichte der Ballengers gewünscht. Die Erzählungen über die Altvorderen haben mir nämlich schon bei der ursprünglichen Trilogie am besten gefallen.

Fazit: Ganz nett, aber in der Mitte zu langatmig.

This book was like if you put a squirrel on a high-speed train, then told it to sing the ABCs backwards

3 stars

This was WAY too high fantasy for my tiny little brain. The romance was cute, the lore was fire, the maps were beautiful, Jase has rizz. But I had 0 idea what was going on in this book most of the time, and sometimes I was just like “here for the vibes” but other times i was so lost I considered DNFing (a war crime) soooo very mixed bag.
