O-M-G
Bewertet mit 5 Sternen
OMG OMG OMG OH MY GOD OHH MYYYYY GOD OMG O-M-G!!! Is it a review if I keep repeating this? One DinA4 page with just O-M-G?! And I am not even the kind of girl who runs around saying "O-M-G", but this book made me that kind of girl. I have to admit, I wasn't really interested in it from the cover and description. Don't get me wrong, the cover art is lovely, it's just not something that would attract my attention. But the title kept creeping higher and higher in the most requested space and it made me wonder. WHY would people want to read about "Käthe" and "Liesl" and Goblins? Goodreads surprised me again: Almost only 4-5 Star ratings.. WHAT was going on here? I was just too curious to not apply for a galley. Thankfully, I got it. But it still needed 6 weeks for me to get started with it. What a waste of time! I was basically chanting "Oh my god"'s the whole time while reading. This is just SO SO GOOD! The eerie atmosphere just grabbed me right away! And Käthe was a nice new touch of heroin. So reliable. I've read that the writer wanted a hero for 16 year old self. A little outcast. Well, there a million girls like this out there and they should all love Käthe. And the Goblin King, gosh, could you tune it down more and still got the goosebumps? Incredible writing here! So much feeling in just one line. And the reader knows. he knows. This book had me crying in the end. I do love Unhappy Ends, I always want characters to be miserable in the end, but Jones made me wish for a sequel just so the Erlkönig can be freed and be with her. I mean, come on! THAT ENDING?! It made me furious. I loved it. Every page of it. In the middle I was a bit worried, what could still happen, now that they're married, but the pacing never got boring, the story never dull. It's a page turning adventure, a little creepy and little dark and oh so romantic. It reminded me of the book thief, but for music lovers. I cannot wait to have this in my store and basically force all my customers to buy this. For their sakes. And now the wait for Book 2 begins.
