Fynh liest reviewed If We Were Villains by M. L. Rio
Entreated to tell his side of the story to a detective who put him in …
Thrilling
5 stars
This was a fabulous read.
The tension and the depiction of the characters were gripping me all the way through, the inner workings and the suspense of the protagonist Oliver were almost touchable for me. The denouement remained effectively open until the end, though I had some suspicions that turned out to be partly true. Still I was again and again surprised by the developments.
The idea of setting this at a theatre school and making the characters all theatre students that were practicing and performing for their plays was genius. Their performances wonderfully blended in into the rest of the story and the author did a superb job in bluring the borders between their acting and their genuine actions, whereby it was never certain what was real and what was only part of the plays.

Fynh liest reviewed Edgar Allan Poes Rätseluniversum by Jason Ward
Inspiriert vom Virtuosen des Grauens und seinen berühmtesten Werken wie "Der Rabe", "Das verräterische Herz" …
Nette Rätsel, schöne Illustrationen
4 stars
Kurzgeschichten von Edgar Allan Poe in scheinbar vom ihm selbst verfassten alternativen Versionen seiner bekannten Werke, die Rätsel enthalten. Sie sind teilweise sehr flüssig in die Handlungen integriert, teilweise etwas plump, meiner Meinung nach.
Die Rätsel selbst sind meistens mehr oder wenige komplexe Logik- oder Matherätsel, teils aber auch Fangfragen. Die meisten davon haben auch Spaß gemacht.
Außerdem ist das Buch noch mit sehr hübschen Illustrationen im Stile von Tuschezeichnungen ausgestattet. Hinzu kommt natürlich noch der Spaß beim Lesen der Klassiker selbst. :)
