  The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue

  If I could give this book 7 stars I would. One for each in Addie‘s constellation of freckles. One for each times I’ve read this story (so far). „Stories come in so many forms: in charcoal, and in song, in paintings, poems, films. And books.“ and in my professional opinion V.E. Schwab‘s are the best. Addie is a young woman and life in the provincial 1714 village in France is not enough for her. In order to escape mundanity she strikes a fateful bargain that lets her story span across hundreds of years until 2014. Told in alternating chapters we both follow her journey through time - all her trials and tribulations that came with the deal she made - and her present day in New York where suddenly something changes so drastically her whole life now hinges upon it and the man related to it - Henry. Not really a lovestory but a story about love nonetheless. Love. Loss. Sacrifice. Beauty. Pain. Art in all of its forms. The way V.E. Schwab explores these themes through Addie‘s point of view throughout her life asks in a profound way time and time again the question „What is a person, if not the marks they leave behind?“. Heartbreakingly beautiful, delightfully optimistic, uplifting in the face of depressing circumstances - this story has captured my heart and soul and I wouldn’t want them back. Addie can have them. If I could only ever recommend ONE book to someone - this one would be it. 1000% I hope you enjoy it.

  Gallant

  Creepy and spooky, delightfully chilling. In this all-age appropriate ghost story Olivia Prior tells the story (without ever really ‚talking‘) of her family and of Gallant. To learn more about herself, her mother and father and where she fits into this old mansion filled with secrets she goes farther than anyone before her and breaks boundaries never crossed. I love Schwab’s sense of storytelling and her writing is simply sublime! Olivia had me laughing, on the edge of my seat and bawling my eyes out crying. I’m not an emotional reader but V.E. always manages to tug at the heart strings. Her characters and worlds are so rich and dark, her stories fantastic and magical but her characters are flawed, human and relatable. The relationships between them mirror our own and that is where this story truly shines. The relationships and the dangers we face to protect them, the secrets we tell to keep them and the sacrifices we bring to save them.

  A Discovery of Witches

  The story follows the charismatic historian/professor/witch-who-doesn’t-want-to-be-one, Diana Bishop as she stumbles upon secrets and hidden plots set in motion long before she startet teaching at Oxford University. But that is where she catches the attention of fellow professor Matthew de Clairmont - a centuries old vampire. A whirlwind of conspiracies, unveiled secrets and stirring emotions ensues and takes the reader on a journey through alchemical history, fantastic politics and a love that will rattle the very foundation of what the creatures of the world hold to be true. Diana is a great protagonist. Grounded, stubborn and inquisitive she explores the world of magic and creatures and we get to go along for the ride. Matthew is everything one wants from a vampiric love interest - tall, dark, dangerous, intense and absolutely entranced by Diana. Our MacGuffin, an ancient alchemical text - "Ashmole 782", a book Diana unsuspectingly calls up from the library’s archive - sets into motion a string of events and a hunt to get to it back first amongst witches, daemons and vampires alike, with Diana caught up in the middle of it all. Great contemporary fantasy with amazing insights into historic topics that show how well Harkness knows her stuff. The story conveys the love and knowledge of the alchemical, historical and Oxford related subjects and really allow readers to be immersed into this fantastical world. To be fair, who wouldn’t rather life in the world of All Souls? It seems like much more fun and excitement than our "reality". Side-note: I also really love the LGBT rep we’re getting in this. The relationship (although not between main characters!) is beautiful and realistic and just heartwarming to read about. ️‍

  Cinder

  A beautifully fresh interpretation of the classic fairytales on a NEW LEVEL OF AWESOME. The setting in not only a slightly post-apocalyptic SciFi-future but also set in New Beijing with deep rooted Asian influences, customs and culture beautifully depicted and it's just wonderful. Cinder being a cyborg-mechanic and having to help prince Kai with his android, Iko (officially the BEST character) is amazing but this book has so much more! The emotions that Marissa Meyer evokes in her readers are breathtaking. Betrayal on so many levels that repeatedly threaten to break Cinder's convictions. Grieve and loss of loved ones. The certainty to know what needs to be done. What is the right thing to do - no matter the personal consequences. Grade A+ storytelling. Just exquisite. Also, the letumosis storyline has taken on a new level of an unsettling sense of real danger as we ourselves have now experienced a global pandemic of the respiratory kind, reader discretion is advised.

  Alanna

  A Middle Grade fantasy book like no other. Although it may have been originally published in the early 80’s it holds up through the trials of time. To this day the books from the Lioness Quartett are amongst my favorite children's books of all time - well... of my life, as far as I can tell. In Alanna we have a headstrong young girl who doesn’t let the circumstances of her birth dictate her life. Set to become a lady she swiftly switches places with her twin brother and instead starts her training to become a page, squire and eventually a knight to the kingdom of Tortall. Faced with both the usual hardships of training and the need to conceal her true identity she struggles to keep up (and surpass) the boys, make friends (and enemies), navigate her way around becoming a woman and saving prince Jonathan's life on multiple occasions. Filled with humor, magic and adventure this is a book I was very glad to read as a girl, teenager and to this day, time and time again. I highly recommend this to anyone who enjoys fantasy, adventures or even “just” well written, empowered female characters. (✨And the sequels continue this trend. ✨) There is also a new graphic novel version coming in 2025 and I am so EXCITED !

  Thank You for Listening

  The chemistry, the set-up, the emotional through-line of the relationships - not only between the two romantic leads - but between best friends, parents and grandparents. I loved every part of it and I'm happy to say I really liked where it ended and what it did in the meantime. I laughed, I squealed with joy, I cried. The tongue-in-cheek commentary about audiobooks and audiobook listeners? I cackled with laughter when Swan and Brock talk about how performance doesn't matter (it does) because listeners hear it at triple speed? I felt called out! For anyone who likes audiobooks I highly recommend this one. And all those who don‘t - just read it by yourself and find out what endeared me to these amazing characters and storylines 10/10 wonderful.

  Lovely War

  A sweeping tale told by the goddess of love, Aphrodite herself. As the First World War ravages Europe two young couples - or rather four young fates cross paths. Hazel & James, Colette & Aubrey — I’m going to miss them… reading their story was beautiful, heartbreaking and full of love and hopefulness and also a lot funnier than I would have guessed. THE HUMOR IS ON POINT - made me snort with laughter quite a few times... It also made me wish I had Aphrodite to provide commentary, romantic advice and control of the weather to suit the needs in my life too.

  Crescent City – Wenn das Dunkel erwacht

  Dies ist der erste Urban Fantasy Roman aus der Feder der Autorin und sie schafft es sehr gekonnt, ihre Bekannten Stärken mit den neuen Möglichkeiten zu verbinden. Es gibt wieder Elfen, doch auch Engel, Dämonen, Werwölfe, Meermenschen, und vieles mehr (wie zum Beispiel Handys, das Internet, Reality TV, generell eine Welt, die unserer etwas ähnlicher ist, als Maas‘ bisherige Kreationen). Achtung; die erste Hälfte - sprich gut 400 Seiten - sind wundervoll geschriebenes World-Building und Charakter-Kennenlernen und Set-Up. Es passiert durchaus auch viel, man lernt einiges über die Welt, die Politik und die Schwierigkeiten, die unsere Protagonistin Bryce Quinlan plagen aber der Plot… der geht gefühlt erst auf Seite 400 los. Also heißt es durchhalten und genießen! Dann ein verdienter Snack und weiter geht‘s! Maas versucht sich in diesem Buch an einer Mord-Investigation. Hierfür hat sie Bryce und Hunt, die beide keine andere Wahl haben, als sich dieser Aufgabe anzunehmen und beide machen es auf ihre eigene Art. Die Beziehung, die hierbei entsteht ist wahrlich witzig zu lesen. Die beiden haben tolles Flirt-Potential und wie üblich sind Maas‘ Charaktere nicht vor den Kopf gestoßen und nicht auf den Mund gefallen. Keiner der beiden lässt sich sagen, was sie tun sollen und sie beide sind sehr besinnt darauf, ihren Willen durchzusetzen. Zu blöd, dass sie nicht immer einer Meinung sind… Viele Twists und Turns während wir gemeinsam mit Bryce immer mehr Geheimnisse aufdecken und Zusammenhänge finden und verknüpfen. Es ist sehr zufriedenstellend, ihr dabei ‚zuzusehen‘ wie sie die Welt und den Plot navigiert. Letzter Punkt; es ist ein modernes Setting und mit diesem kommen für Maas‘ Fans neue Elemente, die man eventuell nicht erwartet. Moderner Slang und Feminismus Gerede sind nur zwei der Dinge, die sich zu den üblichen Fae Mates und dark, broody, handsome males dazu gesellen. Neu aber gleichauf gut - würde ich sagen. Sehr spannend und highly addictive.
