Normally I know exactly what rating to give a book after finishing it. But I somehow struggled a lot with this book. The reason is probably that I really liked it, but also felt as if nothing really happened. Also I didn't always enjoy the shift of focus on a character, because I was sometimes more interested in one more than the others. I especially had that with Dannyl.
Actually I'd consider Dannyl one of my favorite characters and I also thought his travels were interesting. However, I was always disappointed when I read the next paragraph and it was about him (There were some exceptions though).
But even though it did annoy me at times, I also enjoyed it and liked his character and reading about him. I just enjoyed reading about the guild itself more. And luckily, we got this a lot. As not much really happened there were many details about the Guild and Soneas classes and I enjoyed that a lot.
Ah, noch so ein Nostalgie-Reread. Ich mag die Bücher einfach, vor allem den zweiten, weil ich einen totalen Faible für so Unterrichtskram in Büchern habe.
Außerdem finde ich den Plot immer wieder aufs Neue spannend und mal was anderes, das Worldbuilding ist simpel, aber solide und liebevoll. Der Schreibstil lässt sich gut runterlesen und die Figuren sind gut - zum Teil etwas eindimensional und kantenlos, wobei Akkarin da definitiv für mich rausfällt. Hach .... Akkarin ... Wir reden nicht über Band 3. Zumindest nicht über die zweite Hälfte. Nope nope nope.
