Rezension

Expert worldbuilding, swordplay, and politics, a colorful cast of characters, and a story that kept me reading from the first page to the last. #1 New York Times bestselling author George R. R. Martin

A gorgeously built world of decadence, betrayal, and grand adventure. From the decadent and drunken parties of the nobles, to the dens of crime lords in the Warren and Maze, to the Sault, where the devotees of a lost goddess are penned, the city of Castellane makes the perfect backdrop for a delightful cast of characters to befriend, betray, and romance one another. This is Cassandra Clare at her cleverest, twistiest and most heart-stopping a triumph of a book. Holly Black, New York Times bestselling author of The Book of Night

Clare plunges us into a thrilling world built with precision and brimming with enchantment. Her spellbinding cast of outlaws, healers, royals, and rogues will have you questioning your allegiances with every delicious turn of the plot. This is fantasy at its finest. Leigh Bardugo, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Hell Bent

Sweeping yet intimate, rich with romance and intrigue, Sword Catcher is Cassandra Clare at her magical best. In pages packed with sumptuous descriptions, Clare gives us a kingdom s worth of characters including Kel the sword catcher, trained to protect his prince at all costs, and Lin, a young physician of an outcast people forced to navigate a web of tangled loyalties between the loved ones they cherish and the powers they serve. This book will break your heart and leave you wanting more! Helene Wecker, New York Times bestselling author of The Golem and the Jinni

A sumptuous feast of a book, vivid and delicious and heady. Cassandra Clare s trademark skills are on full display here: epic worlds, wrenching romances, heart-slamming plot twists, Dickensian characters. I can t wait to visit Castellane again. Kelly Link, bestselling author of White Cat, Black Dog

A charming return to the big fat fantasy novels of happy memory, with a modern character-driven narrative. Vivid and clever. Scott Lynch, bestselling author of the Gentleman Bastard sequence

    a must read fantasy book!

    I‘m a big fan if Cassandra Clare and her writing style. Sword Catcher is an amazing fantasy filled with a rich world and characters. It starts slow and you have to get used with all the new words and info dumping but other than that, it‘s really good. It‘s all about politics and intrigue, relations and magic in a fascinating world building. The romance is a sub - plot but it keeps you wondering and yearning for more. The characters - each of them were so different and so layered. I love Kel, Conor, Antonetta, the Ragpicker King, Jian and Lin with all of my heart. And all the other characters who play a major part in the book. Hands down, she’s one of the best fantasy authors, she‘s a master of world building and crafting amazing and different characters :)

    Amazing start of a series!

    I simply loved this book! It was my first book from Cassandra Clare not about Shadowhunters and this new world was so well created! At the beginning, there were many new names and places, but soon, I got used to it and then, I couldn’t get enough! Kel is a wonderful main character, as well as Lin. They are both very fascinating, especially Kel as the Sword Catcher. His loyalty to Conor had no boundaries, even if it was a little sad to see that they kept so many secrets from each other at all. In general, this book was so full of secrets, betrayal and unexpected turns, it was very fun to read! All in all a promising start, reading this is really worth it!

    Expectations got in the way

    As a huge fan of the Shadowhunter universe I had high expectations when this new series was announced. They were a bit too high, unfortunately. Sword Catcher is different than the Shadowhunter books and that's good. It is supposed to. Especially in the beginning there are a lot of descriptions and an expanded worldbuilding. It helps you dive in, but for me it got kind of boring because the pace was so slow. I generally enjoy quieter scenes and chapters when they support character development and show the emotional depth of the protagonists. But I could not really connect with the characters here so I did not get hooked with the story. It's solid, but I will leave it at that and won't continue with Ragpicker King.
