Ausgerechnet die letzte Geschichte hat mir nicht so gut gefallen. Einige der Geschichten fand ich aber wirklich toll und so gibt es insgesamt 4 Sterne.
The second in the Unwind series. Not quite at good as the first one, but it still delivers some fairly excellent action and some fun twists. I can’t wait to see what comes next with these characters and their stories.
A collection of short stories about the world of the Scythe trilogy. There is a lot of fan service here, some nice backstories and post canon and cute ideas. I'm not a big reader of short stories, I find I tend to finish one and then wander off, so it did take me a while to potter through this. But like its big brother, it has some interesting ideas on death and art and meaning.

Als Hörbuch tatsächlich sogar noch einen Stern Abzug, da ich die Lesung ziemlich schrecklich fand. Nach jedem Satz eine Pause - so kommt wirklich ÜBERHAUPT keine Spannung auf.
Ich habe dann aufs Buch gewechselt in der Hoffnung, dass es da besser wird. Wurde es, trotzdem nur 3 Sterne gesamt. Zu viele Hauptcharaktere, die deshalb alle nicht glaubwürdig gezeichnet sind. Zu viele Sprünge von Erzähler zu Erzähler. Das Thema hätte Potential, aber auch hier fehlt die Tiefe...… (more)
