My reading list

I read different book series and a specialist book at the same time. When choosing my next book, I always wanted an overview. This page was created out of this wish. Here you will find books from both the private sector (mainly fantasy and thrillers) and professional environments.

Krosann Saga - The Myrnean Goddess (Volume 4)

Driven by the main character's dreams, the group travels to a remote location to discover a safe, unexplored world. At the same time, the crow murderess, who no longer wants to be one, is driven elsewhere, only to reunite with the group. Thanks to ancient magic, everything seemingly falls into place, assuming the warring parties can put their prejudices behind them.

Sam develops the characters exactly to my liking. Perfect!

Krosann Saga - The Sand Timer (Volume 3)

Sam keeps the focus on the two main characters, who couldn't be more different. More and more magic enters the story, without the heroes knowing how it works, and they don't really believe in it.

As in real life, the world of Krosann is full of people who are prejudiced and resort to propaganda and hatred. The young group of heroes bravely stands up against this. They constantly try to do the right thing. That's precisely what I like and is a true joy.

The ranger way part 19

I've interrupted the Krosann saga to devote myself to my friends from Tremia. The panthers are facing increasingly deadly dangers, and for the first time, there are losses among the beloved characters. Pedro, in his romantic way, guides the heroes through the story. The grand finale is becoming increasingly clear, building up as a suspenseful arc. I believe it will happen in the not-too-distant future—perhaps in three or four volumes. Until then, I'm enjoying it.

Krosann Saga - The Swordmaster (Volume 2)

After devouring volume 1, this one continued just as brilliantly. Sam excels at allowing the different characters to interact and grow with each other. The humour comes in many ways: from the situation to the characters' mindsets. Like the first volume, the second ends with a perfectly orchestrated cliffhanger.

Krosann Saga - The Murderess Crow (Volume 1)

After the first two chapters, I wanted to put the book down. A spoiled little prince lives his boring everyday life – not very exciting and not a likeable character in any way. Fortunately, I kept reading. The prince develops, and the book's namesake is introduced, who brings with her an incredibly unique way of thinking and acting. Logical. And above all, captivating.

Shadow elf -The weeping city (Volume 5)

The fifth book concludes the series. All the story threads are brought together conclusively—at least. However, this happens in a finale in the last 50 pages that, for my taste, is too brief. Before that, the narrative delves into many details and slows down the pace to make the finale all the more spectacular. I wish Bernhard had devoted more time and pages to the many heroes and their roles at the end, so I could learn what the outcomes mean for them.
