Was ein Leser dazu sagt: Das ist eine superbe Story (hab sie
mal wieder in +/- einem Happs verschlungen und war entzückt). Vor
allem die Irrfitzins haben sich sogleich ein bzw. einige Plätzchen
in meinem Herzen, wenn auch nicht gerade um meinen Hals erobert.
Auch die anderen Gestalten der Geschichte sind von vorne bis hinten
sehr schön "ausgearbeitet", und ihre Welt macht neugierig auf
mehr!
