★★★★½
Basically, this is an intergalactic version of Romeo and Juliet.
Doescher did an amazing job, I liked The Clone Army Attacketh a lot more than The Phantom of Menace 💜 I hope it will be a crescendo with the next books, too 😍
Well, I grew up watching Akage No Anne every morning on TV and I used to really like it because it was so cute, so it was extremely disappointing to find out the book was so boring. Not even Rachel McAdams' voice could keep this book from boring me to death omg
The pace is so slow because there are so many words to describe every single detail, so the result is that nothing much happens and the plot gets lost along the way.
I know this is an unpopular opinion, but Anne is so melodramatic and annoying, I've spent the whole time wishing she could just shut up because I wanted to poke my eyes out.
Disappointing, but I guess I'll give another chance to the ebook hoping it will be less painful lol
《The problem with wanting, is that it makes us weak.》
Why did I wait so long to read thisssss? WHYYYYYYY? 😍
I was almost skeptical because I think 95% of the most hyped books are garbage not worth the time to read them, but this. THIS. Oh God.
The Witch of Duva sounded like a good premise and it was totally right!! 💜
★★★½☆
《The Grisha lived as shadows did, passing over the surface of the world, touching nothing, forced to change their shapes and hide in corners, driven by fear as shadows were driven by the sun. No safe place. No haven.
There will be, he promised in the darkness, new words written upon his heart. I will make one.》
DAYUUUUUUM!
《Whether you're rich or poor, living on a farm or in the city, you are going to be ankle deep in filth wherever you go.Filthiest. Century. Ever.》

Prague Nights is a historical novel set in Prague in 1599. The main character and narrator is Christian Stern, an arrogant and naïve young doctor who arrived in this town determined to make his rise at the court of the Holy Roman Emperor.
When on arriving in this city, at the first evening there, he discovers a young woman's corpse half-buried in the snow. At first, Christian is accused to be the murderer of the girl who later on turns to be Magda Kroll, Rudolf II's mistress.
The emperor, profoundly superstitious, had predicted the arrival of the young doctor as the “Christ-sent new star over Prague”, so he believes that he could be the one to investigate and find out who has murdered the girl.
I really wanted to like this book when I requested it because the synopsis made it sound like it could have been a great story. Honestly, at some point I was tempted to give it two stars, but I think the historical details were well researched so they made up for some of the negative points.
Beside this, I think this story lacks of depth and is overly descriptive, resulting in being too boring and “heavy”.
Christian Stern is an unlikable protagonist, who is totally lacking any particular talent and is not remarkable in any possible way. All of the events simply happen, for he just goes with the flow and follows what the other characters tell him to do, which is simply disappointing.
The thing that frustrated me the most, is that I felt pretty much nothing for all the characters. Maybe, if the author tried to balance more the sometimes useless descriptions with the depth of the characters, this novel would have resulted in being more complete and remarkable.

《Unlike many traditional self-help authors, I am going to use the word shit 332 times (including several shitmanteaus of my own invention), so please do not go on Amazon saying you were expecting sunshine and kittens and got shitstorms and shittens.》
I don't know if this book will ever help me get my sh*t together for real, but I think I will try to do my best to apply some of the advices Knight wrote in this book (I hope so omg, I already know I will miserably fail — this isn't the right attitude, I KNOW, but I don't care at this point lol) 👍
