After the Wizard oft Earthsea, this second book felt a bit slow. Since it is confined to one particular place in Earthsea, that might have added to the feeling. It is still a good book and I liked reading it, if only for the change of perspective.

This was a nice, almost Tolkienesque read. I love the fact that Le Guin deliberately made the main characters non-white, because she despised the good=white, black=evil trope.
Looking forward to the next books from the cycle.

This was an amusing and quick read. I guess it works best for the of us who are able to follow the tech jargon or even work in IT Sec, even though it is not necessary to follow the plot. I think you might find the book a bit lacking otherwise, because there are no big "what ifs" in this book like for example in Walkaway or Lost Cause. Still, for me it's five stars.

Hildegunst von Mythenmetz beweist erneut, warum er der großartigste Literat aller Zeiten ist. Mit der Einführung der mythenmetzschen Abschweifung gelingt es ihm erneut, ein ganzes Stilmittel der Literatur einfach so nebenbei zu erfinden.
Ach ja, die Geschichte rund um Ensel und Krete ist ebenfalls stilsicher und faszinierend geschrieben und bleibt nicht hinter den Erwartungen zurück. Auch die von mir gelesene Übersetzung aus dem Zamonischen von Walter Moers lässt den Geist des Originals durchscheinen, auch wenn die Qualität naturgemäß unter der Übersetzung leiden muss.
