Welcome to Litsy!

Arthurian Legend centred around a teenaged girl chosen by the sword.

This book reads like a novelized TV script mash-up of Game of Thrones, The Witcher, Throne of Glass. Very very YA.

Not one single character is interesting; they all follow the inevitable YA and epic fantasy tropes. It was a boring read and I eventually bailed at 42%.

This was a classic case of author living on previous fame.

Of course I was expecting something that would pull on my heart strings as One Day did, but this was disappointing.

Story about a boy on the brink of adulthood who is now, years later, looking back at all the things he regrets not doing.

Bland story, bland writing.

I liked the story, it's a bit slow though and the main action happens on the last 60+ pages. It bridges the gap between TNG and the new TV series, focusing on the Romulan culture, which is very well done by the author.

BUT the German translation was not doing the original characters justice. There were common/catch phrases that were mistranslated and it took me out of the story every time.

I feel like a winner tonight. I just finished my listening marathon of this historical fiction doorstopper. This novel has over 1,100 pages, and I enjoyed it a lot. It was the second in a series about the Fleury family in Lorraine in the 13th century. I will probably start on the third one tomorrow on my way to work.#2018#historicalfiction#germany#ingerman

I read this novel a long time ago, but the themes it carries are absolutely relevant today. With so many voices crying about “Ueberfremdung” and the loss of national identity because fellow citizens do not share their white skin, but actually have white vests, this book is a reminder where xenophobia and prejudice can lead us.#contemporaryfiction#germany#ingerman#xenophobia

Finished listening to this one. I liked it so much that I have already started listening to the follow-up. Let‘s see if it is as good as the first one.#historicalfiction#middleages#germany#ingerman

Listening to this story while recovering from a long trip and feeling jet lagged. Like it a lot so far#historical fiction#middle ages#germany#ingerman

Second part in the series about Otto the Great. Did not like it as much as the first one. Decided that I probably need to brush up on my history.#historicalfiction#germany#ingerman#ottothegreat

The first in a two-part series about the German Emperor Otto the Great. I loved how easy this novel read. Many of the places the author described were familiar to me because I grew up in that area.#historicalfiction#germany#ingerman#ottothegreat
