Of course I expected something else, and of course it is somehow an intermezzo between two The city of the Dreaming Books and the to be expected The caste of Dreaming books (which I didn‘t know when I started it; sure the author is making the most of it), but in the end it is a beautiful and creative story about the inhabitants of Buchhaim and how they recovered after the fire Mythenmetz accidently started 200 years with the Schattenkönig. And it

MariaW is the story of an old and lazy Mythenmetz who has lost the Orm realizing it just then during his visit and of course trying to get it back. 7d

Definitely worth a zillion rereads! I love the Walter Moers Zamonia books, they are so full of fantasy and crestive ideas. The City of Dreaming Books is a novel for us booklovers for sure. 😍😍😍

Soubhiville I love the cover designs. 1mo
MariaW @Soubhiville They are all drawn by the author, he is an illustrator as well. Walter Moers is so talented. I went over to always buying his books as a hardcover because they are definitely worth it. 😊 (edited) 1mo

This is a rather large book, that on top of a very busy several weeks, is why it took me a while to finish. But Walter Moers did not disappoint, just like with Captain Bluebear, I was transfixed by this adventure. Rumo is a different character entirely, unlike Captain Bluebear who finds himself in crazy predicaments seemingly by accident, Rumo runs toward them headlong with the intent to either prove himself, to survive, or protect his friends. ⬇️

jen_the_scribe Every setting in Zamonia unfolds new landscapes, new magic, unfathomable creatures, and crazy situations. Rumo endured fearsome monsters, seemingly hopeless battles, and he gained loyal friends along the way. There were plenty of silly moments as well, some made me literally laugh out loud. And there were heartbreaking scenes too. Who knew a large, dog-like creature with horns could muster such a roller coaster of emotions from me? 2mo

As much as I loved the last book I read, there were a lot of sad moments. I‘m in need of a palate cleanser and since “The 13 1/2 Lives of Captain Bluebear” did that for me, I‘m finally going to read book 2 in the Zamonia series. I read that you don‘t have to read these books in order, but it‘s ideal because there are surprises that are more enjoyable when you‘ve read the previous books 😁
