Newsletter von Verlagen sind ein praktischer Service. Sie liefern mir Informationen zu Werbeaktionen, Sonderangeboten und Neuerscheinungen frei Haus. Besonders gern lese ich den Newsletter von Orbit, in dem ich fast immer neue Lektüre aus Fantasy und Science-Fiction für mich entdecke. So wurde ich a...
Interesting in that it picks up loos threads from the first book and expands on them, but it definitely reads like a seris of "middles", with no real plot to speak of.
