Reviews

[Adi · Rating 3 out of 5]

Din pacate, misterele din aceasta carte nu sunt atat de interesante ca cele din "Ciresarii", care ramane standardul dupa care se judeca o carte scrisa de Constantin Chirita.

[Alexander · Rating 4 out of 5]

Cam încâlcită povestea pentru mine dar totuși m-am ținut în priză.

[Liviu · Rating 5 out of 5]

The 3rd or 4th reread of this one (I first read it some 40 years ago more or less), the second in the trilogy and an interesting one in many aspects, except its resolution which is weaker than either the first and the third

[Dan Iliescu · Rating 5 out of 5]
