What a tragic story. I quite enjoyed it, mostly because it felt a bit different. Obviously the „Tempe is in danger“ scene was in, but otherwise quite well done.

I have known the comics for a while now and actually enjoyed reading them, so I decided to also read the source material (I did not like the movie …). I was surprised how different the book was, to what I had remembered. I did enjoy it and it was well written and it was nice to read more than just a YA novel, but read about someone slightly older than that as well. Some of the main character’s decisions I found very odd and a bit stupid, maybe even unrealistic—but then there is lots of different brains out there. I will definitely continue the book series to see if things fit will together.

I’ve had to stop reading this book halfway through. I though I could make it but it just wasn’t for me. Characters behaviour is erratic and the dialogue are so all over the place. It feels like the writing stopped and was started by a different person mid dialogue.

Not for me.

A cute little fairy tale. Doesn’t have much to do with the Grishaverse I guess but cute nevertheless.

Finally a story with at least one Grisha. I quite enjoyed it. Not sure what it’s actually supposed to teach but it’s a nice little story.

I really enjoyed this origins story. Well done and nice to read about young versions of all the characters. What a sad story in the present. I had read the book that follows this and finally got an explanation of what happened. I wish it wasn’t so.

As always, not a nice topic but nevertheless a cute story. It comes with all the Tempe cliches and obviously she is able to solve the crime.

What a lovely book and brilliant end to the duology. Obviously would like to read more stories set in this universe, but I think it was a very fair ending. Some parts of the book felt rushed—whereas parts of the first one felt very slow—but overall I very much enjoyed it. Some nice twists which could have easily been predicted but all in all very entertaining.

Another very funny books in the witches series. So many brilliantly interwoven stories and borrowed ideas and themes. I had to laugh out loud a few times and will definitely continue my journey into the Discworld universe!

What a great book. I was a bit reserved after having watched the tv show and wasn’t sure if I should try the book series. I am glad that I did. Much better than the show—somehow I am more drawn into the world than I was when just watching the screen. I will definitely continue with this series. The mixture of magic, fantasy and medieval-like lands is exactly what I like. Really excited to see what the next book is about!

I must have read this one ages ago, because I had my own theories and actually found out who the real murderer was as well. As always, an enjoyable Poirot novel. It felt somehow shorter than expected.

I quite enjoyed this book. It was a different approach to time loops—at least in my limited experience of reading about them in fiction. Rather a cute story, even though it is quite unbelievable that someone would be stuck in a loop for this long and not figure out how to escape. I was slightly disappointed that there was no extra chapter with a sneak peek of the future but I guess I might have complained if that was not to my liking, so this is probably a good ending.

I must have read this book before because I remembered or at least had some suspicious. As always, brilliant how Hercule just knows and solves these things.
