Gehört zur ReiheFantastic Decade (1) Auszeichnungen
For the humans and avehos of Kroonsaed, the Sunitian Sea is as strange as it is malignant. The sparkling sea of gas has threatened their lives and resources for as long as anyone can remember. One night, as Dreden Sharpstand and his friends are attacked by strange men with weapons beyond their understanding, the Sea transports them to an alternate world, a city called Brunswald, full of technology decades ahead of their homeland. Since avehos, flightless humanoid birds, don't exist in Brunswald, Dreden's aveho friend Gerrika becomes an instant celebrity. As Dreden falls in love with Morell Edland, the son of the richest family in the country, he and his friends start uncovering the truth about the relationship between their worlds. One thing is certain, their arrival in Brunswald was no accident. Meanwhile a manuscript editor is shocked to find out her next literary star might be a dragon.

Story (4/5): I stopped this about 25% of the way in. At that point I still had no idea what this book was about and new characters were still being introduced. We switched storylines between Dreden (who is the son of a poor professor) and spends his time wandering around town with two other friends and another woman who is working on editing a book (yes, it is just as random as it sounds). In between these two stories we hear from random other groups of people. The POV switches mid-chapters at some points with very little rhyme or reason for doing so. Oh, and the Prologue is told from the POV of a dragon (again no idea why).
I usually read books very quickly but was really struggling with this one. It seems written in a very immature way, that makes it strangely difficult to read. Add to that the fact that the story didn’t seem to have a point and the fact that I didn’t give one wit about any of the characters and it just didn’t work for me. This book needs some serious editing and work on pacing.
My Summary (3/5): Overall I have no idea why the other reviews of this book are so high, I feel like everyone else must have read a different book than I did. It definitely wasn’t something I was enjoying reading. I am giving it 3 stars because I didn’t finish it, but based on what I read it’s more of a 2 star type of book. (
