review 1: I’ve found that the best parts of this book was the information about Ludwig the II and Theodor Marot’s diary, but I found that the characters—most noticeably Steven and Sara—felt a bit bland. I also felt that the villains never presented much of a threat, even if there were definite moments of suspense. Though, in conclusion Mr. Pötzsch has gotten me interested in Ludwig the II, and I found that the author’s 'Note for Conspirators' in the back to be very interesting. I intend to read more of the Fairy-Tale King and Mr. Pötzsch can take full credit of that.Thank you for your time and consideration.
review 2: Potzsch has written another thriller/mystery, with believable characters that are also sometimes funny, sometimes scary. The premise is that a... more memoir by one of Ludwig's loyal followers has come to light that explains the king's mysterious death. One of the protagonists is a 40 year-old second hand book dealer that is a stick in the mud, who comes to possess the book and as a result has to deal with several groups bent on murdering him, an art historian to whom he is very much attracted, and with translating this memoir written in code. i didn't know that Ludwig's death was mysterious, only that he had built those fairy-tale castles. This book would make a good movie, one of those funny thriller/mysteries. This is as good as his Hangman Daughter's series and is set, like them, in Bavaria. Highly recommended. less
