"Alma M. Karlin - Mit Bubikopf und Schreibmaschine um die Welt" ist die erste deutsche Biographie in 10 Kapiteln über das Leben und Werk einer der größten Weltreisenden und deutschsprachigen Schriftstellerin Alma M. Karlin (1889-1950) aus Celje, Slowenien. Nach einer unglücklichen Kindheit in der zweisprachigen untersteiermärkischen Provinzstadt am Sann in der alten k. und k. Monarchie entflieht sie dem kleinbürgerlichen Milieu und geht 1908 nach London. Dort arbeitet sie in einem Übersetzungsbüro, legt 1914 Prüfungen in Norwegisch, Schwedisch, Dänisch, Englisch, Französisch, Spanisch, Italienisch und Russisch ab. Am 24.November 1919 verlässt sie mit dem Reisepass ihrer neuen Heimat, des Königreichs der Serben, Kroaten und Slowenen, den Cillier Bahnhof und bereist bzw. berührt in den Jahren 1919-1927 als allein reisende Frau alle Kontinente. Mit dabei im Koffer sind ihre Schreibmaschine Marke Erika und ihr handgeschriebenes Wörterbuch in zehn Sprachen. Acht Jahre lang ist sie unterwegs, einzig im Vertrauen auf die eigenen Fähigkeiten, sich überall auf der Welt durchs Unterrichten und Dolmetscherdienste als auch journalistische und belletristische Arbeit Verdienstmöglichkeiten zu verschaffen. Sie überschreitet nicht nur geographische Grenzen, sondern auch die der Gesellschaftskonventionen, indem sie die Welt als Frau, Künstlerin und Forscherin auf ihre eigene Art "erleben" will.

Fae Courts with High Intrigue
Format: Kindle
This book is one that just builds and builds and then surprises you to no end. You may think you know the villains and then you are jolted in another direction. Princess Reyna is a real gem, strong of character, a fierce fighter, and loyal to her family and kingdom. Just when you think she and Lorcan, well you know, the plot is flipped. Can't wait to see where this goes in book two.

Slow, sorry but good
Format: Kindle
This was a slow moving book. Lots of character pov chapters, lots of superfluous descriptions and endless courtly appearances stalled this book to start. Once you get into the heart of the story, it takes off. Before you know it the book is done. My favorite character is Reyna. She is so strong. She is true to herself. She gets into a lot of trouble with her headstrong ways but it's entertaining. I have high hopes for Lorcan. He is honorable to a fault. Thane had turned out to be better than I thought but i still don't like him. Eislin is useless. Great plot twists at the end. I'm looking forward too book 2.

Very detailed! Beautiful world building! Strong Heroine!
Format: Kindle
Starts off a little slow and confusing with different POV’s, but starts to all come together towards the middle to make an elaborate plot line and makes it all worth it. Beautiful world building and attention to detail as well as great writing. The cliffhanger was gut wrenching! Can’t wait for the next book!

Interesting
Format: Kindle
This was a very captivating book once you got into it thoroughly. But the third person perspective was a bit hard to get used to. But as you got into it and followed the different characters, it was interesting and filled with intrigue, conflict and forbidden love. I can’t wait to read the next one and to complete the series.

OUTSTANDING
Format: Kindle
This was very, very good. The world is vast and characters are complex. There is a good plot with a whole lot going on. This is well written. Good twists and turns and some heart breaking moments. You will love these characters, they have heart and loyalty. I am hoping that there will be several more books. We've yet to see anything from the Sea Court but only a mention of them here and there. The Wood Court was given a quick couple of scenes, and only as far as some warriors, we've yet to enter their court and the Shadow Court, I'm not sure if they will be a force for good or bad, but they definitely will play a much bigger role moving forward. This is primarily the Ice and Air Courts. Told in multiple views, which I loved, it gives you a chance to see things from different eyes. There's alot of political maneuvering and deception. I loved it and will pick up the next book as it becomes available. If you like The Fae and the courts, you should love this. I think the author has mucn in store for us.
