Hendes far kan jeg egentlig godt lide, selvom han så afgjort har sine fejl og mangler. Hendes mor kan jeg ikke lide, og det kunne jeg heller ikke i den første, jeg har lyst til at slå hende. Jenna Black har bygget en rigtig spændende verden op, og så elsker jeg simpelthen de covers i denne trilogi.ĭana har ikke ændret sig meget, jeg hader hende ikke, men der er bare et eller andet ved hende som jeg ikke elsker, og jeg kan ikke helt sætte en finger på, hvad det egentlig er. Der er stadig enkelte ting jeg ikke er helt så vild med, tilgengæld var der ting jeg elskede. Shadowspell levede helt klart op til mine forventninger efter at have læst den første bog. Skrivestilen er ligetil og jeg blev hurtigt grebet af den. Det er ikke en fantastisk serier der blæser mig omkuld, men den er hyggelig og let at læse. ![]()
