Binding

I binged this book in a few days now. 👀 It's good! Very suspenseful, it kept me up too long for two nights. I like the main characters and the setting. The "binding" idea is very interesting, too, and wonderfully explored. Though I'm glad I didn't really read the summary because it includes stuff which is a mystery to the main character for quite a while and it was nice to find it out together with him. xD

It contains strong violence and quite a lot of various kinds of abuse, which is written out - or at least vaguely circumscribed. There is an intimate scene of two minor character, which the main character does hear but not see. But the intimate scenes of the main character himself are so abruptly skipped, that it took me a while to understand that they happened. 🙈 I really don't understand why! Only straight sex allowed in a novel with MLM main characters or what??

The book has three parts and I read them like this: 1, 3, 2. Works as well. 😆

I've read the German edition "Die verborgenen Stimmen der Bücher" which translates to 'the hidden voices of the books'. Imo "Die Bindung", meaning binding but also bond/tie or relationship, would have been a nice title as well, so I don't know why they changed it...
