Reviews

[Kitty Red-Eye · Rating 1 out of 5]

Småokkult fantasy som dessverre ikke fenger. Litt for oppstyltet, blir usammenhengende og uinteressant. Den første tredjedelen er ok, tidvis lovende, men deretter går det bare nedover.

Skjemmes også av en hel haug og/å-feil som gjør en allerede irriterende bok enda mer irriterende.
