Lädt ... The Midnight Hourvon Benjamin Read, Laura Trinder (Autor)
   Keine Keine aktuelle Diskussion zu diesem Buch.  lmauro123 | Dec 28, 2023 |   I really wanted to love this book. I found this book to have a super fun concept and really loved he setting. But I felt like the pacing of this read, along with the world building did confuse me. I really liked the main character. I felt like there was less side characters to expand the world and that made me enjoy it less. But overall it was enjoyable read! I just wanted the world to be a tad clearer. (  ) lmauro123 | Dec 28, 2023 | Well, I was cleaning out my mail pile (I don't read most of my posts) & I'd forgotten that I received a free ARC from Scholastic; Silly me Happy me! Emily's mother is an artist who dumpster dives for art materials; her father works at the Midnight Post Office. After receiving an odd letter, with even odder postage stamps, Emily's mother disappears and when her father goes to track down the sender of the letter, he disappears as well. Soon two Very Strange men come to the door seeking Emily w/ messages from beyond... Then Emily takes matters into her own hands & locates the mysterious Midnight Post Office, which sends her on an adventure to the Midnight of London where it is always night time in the years before 1912 and where all magickal beings reside; one of which is trying to break through to the daylight. I found the book to be interesting yet simple and I didn't dislike the characters but found them to be a bit shallow. I'll be interested to see what the next book holds.

Kurz nachdem ein eigenartiger Bote zur Geisterstunde geheimnisvolle Briefe gebracht hat, verschwinden Emilys Eltern ... Bewaffnet mit Igel Hoggins und ihrer unnachahmlich grossen Klappe macht sich Emily auf die Suche und stolpert in ein magisch-viktorianisches London des 19. Jahrhunderts - eine Stadt, in der im wahrsten Sinne des Wortes die Zeit stehengeblieben ist. Auf den (kutschenbefahrenen) Strassen tummeln sich Hexen und Dämonen und hegen allergröt︢es Misstrauen gegen das Tagvolk ... Doch zum Glück trifft sie auf Tarquin, den sympathischen Nachtwächter-in-Ausbildung, der ihr zur Seite steht, wenn es darum geht, die böse Nokturne unschädlich zu machen und ihre Eltern zu befreien. - Schaurig-spannendes Abenteuer mit einer toughen Protagonistin und viel Magie in einem historisch-düsteren Setting - was will man mehr? Junge Fantasyfans werden voll auf ihre Kosten kommen und sich freuen, dass der Schluss auf eine mögliche Fortsetzung hindeutet. Ab 9 Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
