Ich bin kein Soziologie, aber dieses Buch ist nicht nur ein guter Sci-Fi Roman, sondern darüber hinaus auch noch eine interessante Windung von soziologisch-philosophischer Dystopische. Die im Buch gemalte Dystopische/Tyrannei wird in vollem Umfang durchgekaut durch die Augen des Protagonisten, er kämpft, weint, zweifelt, triumphiert und verliert. Vielleicht als Anreiz zum weiter lesen, nach den ersten 8 Kapiteln sieht man wo die reise hingeht oder glaub es zumindest.

PERFECTION

Spoiler Alert!!!! I knew it. I knew it. I knew it I swear to God I knew it. I knew it. I knew it. I knew that Mustang was the jackal sister. Okay now that the surprise is gone. I can go into the actual review. I started this book over two years ago. I was still working at lego. I did the audiobook at the time which is 16 hours. I think I stopped around 5 hours in because I lost interest. I know this series is loved by so many people and rightfully so. That’s why I decided to give it a second chance this year. I did the audiobook once again. I think that it is a masterpiece. The world building, the betrayal, the politics, the complexity of the characters is above and beyond. I can truly appreciate the art, but I have to admit that halfway through the games I was thoroughly bored. It felt a little bit unnecessarily long. Maybe my attention span is just much shorter now. Nada if you are reading this I am so very sorry, please don’t block me. I rarely read sci fi as an audiobook because I find it difficult to concentrate, maybe that added to the boredom? It was fight fight, betrayal, blood, more fighting. Again I really to think it is a very good book. The fact that I did not enjoy it very much does not take away from that. I will probably still continue the series. I think it is very poetic, tragic, layered and complex. I can appreciate all these elements but I do not know why I did not grow very attached to the characters. It is absolutely insane that by the end of the book he is bound to the man who killed his wife. Who makes life a living hell for his people. That is not let on me. It is also crazy that the book starts when Darrow is like 16. He is a CHILD, a child who had to go through all of that.
