_________________

"Feast of the Drowned" erzählt IMO eine wirklich gute und vor allem spannende Story. Leider ist mehr oder minder der einzige Eindruck den ich vom Lesen behalten habe, der, dass ich Probleme mit dem Vokabular hatte. Zu technisch? Zu nautisch? Weiß nicht genau...

echt? ich fands summa summarum eher langweilig.
aber ja, der plot wurde gut vorangeführt und es gab genug spannungsmomente. daher ist das urteil wohl als persönliche vorliebe aufzufassen (und habs beim zahnarzt gelesen - könnte das einfluss nehmen?).
