Product Information

Ahoy there me mateys! I wanted to read this book ever since I saw the wonderful cover. I requested it from NetGalley as an eArc and was denied. And then I kept forgetting about this book (Hardy har har!). But no matter, I have finally managed to read this and I am glad that I did. Now that this secret is in Nathan’s possession, and he is going to make the most desperate evasive maneuver of his whole life, stealing a starship and setting a course for Earth. He believes he is going to be safe there, but he’s wrong. Very wrong. He has a wonderful voice, and an incredible life: he was born in Romania, came to England, was published by the Woolfs, went to the US, worked in the grain industry for a while but got bored and teamed up with Orson Welles – as you do…” Emma besucht das Internat auf Schloss Stolzenburg. Beim Aufräumen der Bibliothek stößt sie zufällig auf eine alte Chronik des Schlosses. Beim Lesen merkt sie jedoch, dass es sich um eine Art Tagebuch handelt und dass Eintragungen in das Buch in Erfüllung gehen. Emma benutzt dies natürlich auch gleich, um selbst einige Wünsche in Erfüllung gehen zu lassen. Anfangen möchte sie mit dem unmöglichen Darcy de Winter, der sich aufführt, als gehöre ihm das Schloss. Emma merkt jedoch bald, dass ihre "Wünsche" aber nicht richtig ausgeführt werden und sich auch unnatürliche Sachen zutragen. So macht sie sich daran, herauszufinden, was es denn mit dem Buch auf sich hat. Und mit dem Faun, von dem im Buch ständig die Rede ist. Captain Mitchell “Ares” Williams is a Space Marine and the hero of the Battle for Liberty, whose Shot Heard ‘Round the Universe saved the whole planet from an almost unstoppable war machine. He is charismatic, handsome, and the perfect poster boy to help the military drive enlistment. Pulled out of the war and thrust into the spotlight, he is just as efficient at charming the media as he was at shooting down enemy starfighters.

Gleichzeitig versucht sie auch etwas über Darcys Schwester Gina zu erfahren, die vier Jahre zuvor verschwunden ist. Dabei kommen sich Darcy und Emma näher, doch das macht Darcy auch nicht sympathischer. Glaubt Emma zumindest... That aside, though, I loved how Gläser treated these characters in the new setting. Unlike other contemporary retellings I have read, these characters do feel like a modern variant, though they are ones that are true to their original. It's unsurprising that Darcy was my favourite: while he comes across as condescending and arrogant, he's actually a really nice guy and a loving brother. I also really enjoyed Emma, even if I do believe she should have been Elizabeth. She is one of the best-developed voices of a teenager I've come across: she sways between hey I'm just a kid and I am all so grown up. She makes a lot of stupid mistakes but she is willing to admit her own faults. She can be snarky and out of line but she's a genuinely good friend. I like that she cared about the school itself, that the younger students felt welcome and that she looked out for her father.

To give you a sense of the kind of person we’re dealing with: she was filming something towards the end of her career, and the director took her to one side to talk about a scene, and she said, ‘I’m not sure quite what I’m doing?’ and he explained that she was doing her lines in front of a green screen. He said to her, ‘Don’t worry, you’re going to do this, and then after we’ve finished, I’m going to put all this stuff in with computer technology.’ And she went, ‘You’re confusing me, dear.’ He went, ‘Oh, um, maybe I could put it a bit more simply?’ ‘No, no,’ she said, ‘you’re confusing me with someone who gives a shit. Just tell me the lines, I’ll do the lines, and then I’ll go.’ But no. Because of this reference, and the name choices, I really thought this would be a much closer retelling of Pride and Prejudice than it actually was. So if you're expecting a P&P retelling, stop right there. It's not. It has elements of it, and it's certainly influenced by it, and if you love the love story between Elizabeth and Mr Darcy (or even Jane and Bingley, which have their respective characters as well, and whose romance I also enjoyed), then you'll probably like this enemies-to-lovers romance as well - but it is, in my opinion, not a 'retelling'. First off, I have not read Austen’s Pride and Prejudice(though I’ll get to it one day), which means I am not able to make comparisons. This book is set in 2017 in this boarding school in Germany where our main protagonist, Emma fins this magical book that lets her do her bidding. Now this is my first issue, Emma. Emma, despite how much I want to like her as a character, I really struggled to connect with her. She sort of the typical, whiny teenage girl who has gotten pretty much whatever she wanted. She’s also really beautiful. Now, when she finds this book, instead of throwing it away like a sensible person does because of the magical powers, she instead uses it to her own purposes for a good chunk of the book, doing whatever she wanted with people, which just makes it very uncool. There was a publisher about six or seven years ago, when I first started talking about The Sioux online, who said, ‘Oh, we were looking at republishing it,’ but that publisher doesn’t exist anymore. Initial reaction: Polished this one off in a day, and really enjoyed it! I liked Emma's voice, and the mystery was engaging and kept me hooked. The premise of the book that makes whatever is written in it come true was explored in interesting (and sometimes bittersweet) ways. This is the sort of book that both makes you want to believe in magic and fear it at the same time.

The plot was very unique. It was about a girl who found a book. And whatever you wrote in the book came true. I know, I know, that does sound very stereotypical. But, that's not even the best part. The author brings in so many more elements such as fairies, fauns, and weaves it into a very intriguing mystery. Suffice to say, the books that you’ve chosen today have genuinely been forgotten – the proof of that being that many have been out of print for decades. You’ve got a mixture of fiction and non-fiction. Shall we start with fiction and Irene Handl’s The Sioux? Funnily enough, it was published in 1965, the same year as Stoner. Which is where the similarities end…

Wow! Let me just say, wow. I have never read a book like this, and I have to say, I really enjoyed it. Presumably we get detailed portraits of Woolf and all his high-profile collaborators? He worked with Raymond Chandler, too. This was definitely a new twist on Pride and Prejudice for me. I've seen zombies, but I've never seen magical books. Why do you think discovering a ‘lost classic’ tends to feel so much more significant, more moving, than simply discovering a great new book? There are two: The Sioux and then a sequel called The Gold Tip Pfitzer (1973). The Sioux is about this eccentric family of French origin who live in New Orleans. The mother is awfully protective of the son, and it could be mildly incestuous, you’re never quite sure, and everyone is dysfunctional, and they’re all extremely rich, and it’s very dark and very funny.

But The Rationalist is wonderful. There was a follow-up called The Marriage of Souls(1990), and then there was a third book that never got published. It was intended as a trilogy. There’s a certain romance to the idea that here was this, at the time, very popular and well-received book, and for whatever reason, the third and final instalment never came out. There may well be people who read the first and second books and loved them.

Now that that is out of the way, I am able to mention that false retelling aside, this was a really wonderful book. I thought the main aspect of a magical book where what you write in it comes true was really original, and blended well with the other Austen-inspired storylines. I loved Emma as a character: her curiosity, determinism, and drive, which was occasionally pushed aside in favour of her choosing to make really dumb - but entertaining - decisions. She's 16, so she's allowed to make mistakes. The setting was gorgeous - a German castle turned into a boarding school, with creepy catacombs and hidden entrances. The writing itself was really lovely, and that's gotta be a bonus because this was translated from the original German. The narration was good as well, and I enjoyed listening to Erin Spencer deliver the story. If you haven't read it: and you want to read a story set in a boarding school with magical elements (a la Hex Hall or Vampire Academy), but tinged with a haunting, bittersweet mystery, then this book could be what you're looking for. The fairy tale/fantasy element also added immensely to the story. It took a bit to get going but, especially as the book neared its climax, it really developed things. Very creative and imaginative!
