300 words or less: Three mini reviews

This post contains the mini reviews of the following books:

• Howl’s Moving Castle (World of Howl, Book 1) • The Ones Who Got Away (The One Who Got Away Series, Book 1) • Seven For a Secret (Timothy Wilde, Book 2)

original title: Howl’s Moving Castle | author: Diana Wynne Jones | german release: 2019 | series: World of Howl Book 1 of 3 | pages: 304 | goodreads: x

Howl’s Moving Castle is a must read for fans of the Ghibli movie by the same name and children book lovers. The movie adaptation isn’t a 1:1 compare to the book. So if you maybe have struggles with changes from movie to book it might not be the right thing for you. I did enjoy this book a lot. The characters are different from the movie and are more realistic because of their mood, world building and storyline.

I decided to read the next book in this series and looking forward to it! Hopefully I’ll like it the same way as this one.

original title: The Ones Who Got Away | author: Roni Loren | german release: 2020 | series: The Ones Who Got Away Book 1 of 4 | pages: 416 | goodreads: x

The Ones Who Got Away contains romance and love, not the biggest plot and some cheesy stuff. To be fair I was completely sure what I was buying, and still not quite sure if I’ll like this one. Taking a terrible event as a main factor for all the characters to give them their own story might not be the best, but it’s a good explanation and reason why those people are all hurt and traumatize in some way. After an okay start I found its potential/reason to read non-stop until the end. It won’t be a five star book and still I truly enjoyed it. Sometimes we all need those easy books. And soon I’m gonna read the next book in this series.☺

original title: Seven For a Secret | author: Lyndsay Faye | german release: 2016 | series: Timothy Wilde Book 2 of 3 | pages: 464 | goodreads: x

I have big trouble to find a good crime or thriller book. This time I chose a historical crime book in the hope to find something good. But sadly this book just wasn’t for me. The characters were okay and the crime case as well but I missed the tension. I had so struggle with it, that I had to give myself a reading goal so I could finished this in time. Otherwise I might get another reading slump so, no thanks!
