    one thing i want to do more this year is not finishing books or putting them aside if i dont enjoy them fully and here we go.

    it's obvious the author tried to establish a story like "the seven husbands of evelyn hugo" and although "meet the newsman’s" isn’t bad, nothing interesting is happening so far and the story feels flat and meaningless
and i don’t have time for that. đŸ«

    There is a reason why some fan fictions shouldn’t be published. This is romanticisation of sexual assault and abuse and nothing less and therefore not only problematic but irresponsible.

    ps: I will link someone's very long and detailed review that I completely agree with if you want more insights. https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/7568775145

    "Es ist Hexenzeit, Axtzeit. Eine Zeit fĂŒr Feuer und Schwert. Die Zeit dreht sich schlĂ€frig mit Leichen in ihrem Pelz um. Man verdient Geld. Kinder kommen aus anderen Kindern. Violettblaues Wasser schwappt auf warme SandbĂ€nke. Man ist nicht besĂ€nftigt. Man sollte nicht besĂ€nftigt sein."

    Was fĂŒr ein interessantes Buch! Olga Ravn hat hier mithilfe von Briefen, Gerichtsdokumenten und historischen Schriften einen Roman geschaffen, den ich so vorher noch nie gelesen habe. Es werden sogar ZaubersprĂŒche aus Originalquellen verwendet, die die unheimliche und schaurige AtmosphĂ€re noch unterstreichen und der ErzĂ€hlstil ist manchmal wirr und dann wieder so klar und von vielen Wiederholungen untermalt, die mich leider so nicht immer abholen konnten. Ich bin fĂŒr viele Wiederholungen aber generell nicht zu begeistern. DafĂŒr hat mich die Stimmung und Freundschaft der Frauen und ihre Rituale miteinander viel mehr begeistern können, die einen daran erinnern, dass diese Frauen sehr viel mehr waren als nur Opfer der Hexenprozesse.

    Ü: gelesen in der deutschen Übersetzung von Alexander Sitzmann.

    some plotholes, the protagonist tell us way too often that she has no time and although this isn't supposed to be young adult, they do sound like teenagers but i wanted a fun, entertaining crime/thriller for the days before new year’s and it’s exactly what i got. đŸ™‚â€â†•ïž
