Imagine it were possible to bring the characters from a book to life.

Suddenly, Meggie is smack in the middle of the kind of adventure she has only read about in books. Somehow, Meggie and Mo must learn to harness the magic that conjured this nightmare. Somehow they must change the course of the story …

Zum Lesen bestimmt besser

3 stars

Es hat mich leider nicht so richtig abgeholt. Die Hauptcharaktere sind recht sympathisch und wachsen einem schon ans Herz, aber das Buch hat es nicht geschafft, mich heiß auf die Nachfolger zu machen. Ich werde also - zumindest vorerst - die Reihe nicht weiter hören.

Das Hörbuch im Speziellen kann ich leider auch nicht empfehlen. Der Sprecher macht seine Sache zwar sehr gut, wie auch in den Reckless-Hörbüchern, allerdings empfand ich die Musik zwischen den Kapiteln hier im Gegensatz zu Reckless als unpassend, störend und zu lang.
