Die Vermessung der WeltGegen Ende des 18. Jahrhunderts machen sich zwei junge Deutsche an die Vermessung der Welt. Der eine, Alexander von Humboldt, kmpft sich durch Urwald und Steppe, befhrt den Orinoko, kostet Gifte, zhlt Kopfluse, kriecht in Erdlcher, besteigt Vulkane und begegnet Seeungeheuern und Menschenfressern. Der andere, der Mathematiker und Astronom Carl Friedrich Gau, der sein Leben nicht ohne Frauen verbringen kann und doch in der Hochzeitsnacht aus dem Bett

Gegen Ende des 18. Jahrhunderts machen sich zwei junge Deutsche an die Vermessung der Welt. Der eine, Alexander von Humboldt, kämpft sich durch Urwald und Steppe, befährt den Orinoko, kostet Gifte, zählt Kopfläuse, kriecht in Erdlöcher, besteigt Vulkane und begegnet Seeungeheuern und Menschenfressern. Der andere, der Mathematiker und Astronom Carl Friedrich Gauß, der sein Leben nicht ohne Frauen verbringen kann und doch in der Hochzeitsnacht aus dem Bett springt, um eine Formel zu notieren - er beweist auch im heimischen Göttingen, dass der Raum sich krümmt. Alt, berühmt und ein wenig sonderbar geworden, treffen sich die beiden 1828 in Berlin. Doch kaum steigt Gauß aus seiner Kutsche, verstricken sie sich in die politischen Wirren Deutschlands nach dem Sturz Napoleons. Mit Phantasie und viel Humor beschreibt Daniel Kehlmann das Leben zweier Genies, ihre Sehnsüchte und Schwächen, ihre Gradwanderung zwischen Einsamkeit und Liebe, Lächerlichkeit und Größe, Scheitern und Erfolg - ein philosophischer Abenteuerroman von seltener Kraft und Brillanz.

Promising but not without issues
Format: Kindle
First off, the FMC and the pack don't meet until about 60% of the way through. That's just way too late honestly. I can appreciate the backstory of the band and the FMC, but I skimmed at times wondering when they'd meet. I did like the writing and premise but I thought the execution needed a lot of work. The characters were pretty well developed, but they didn't spend that much time on the page together, so I thought that led to the story suffering. I will give her another shot, as I think the writing has promise... It just didn't come all together in a way that I could wholeheartedly recommend.

DNF
Format: Kindle
I really tried to finish this book. There was too much detail in more than half the book. They do not even meet for. Ore than half the book. If you are looking for spice, this is not the book for you. This is more a late teen if that. I stopped reading when she made her choice of men for her first time. There isn’t any urge to read the next chapter. Easy to put down.

Wonderful
Format: Kindle
What a wonderful long read, with depth, emotions, storyline and a touch of $mut. This story was definitely more centered around the storyline rather than any $ex scenes and lived up to “Cozy Omegaverse”. We saw the pack dynamic’s evolve as she was ready for them to evolve, they were patient with her and allowed her to break free from her own constraints. Amazing!

A Nice Story
Format: Kindle
I love Omegaverse and its many stories. The book is a wonderful story. The characters are intriguing and are each unique. There were a few issues with repetitive phrases through out the book and a few misspellings but the biggest issue was the very painful slow burn. I feel if it weren’t so slow It could have incorporated more content about each character. Overall a solid story though.

decent…but
Format: Kindle
This is my first book from this author, and while I do really love omegaverse stories, this one left a lot to be desired. This book is a hard-core slow, slow, slow burn: (75% or later in the book) I will say that I finished it. Unfortunately, I struggled through a lot of it due to punctuation errors, and general editing that must have been looked over during the revision process. I also feel like a lot of information was left out and there wasn’t closure regarding her parents. The dynamic of the pack before Lydia joined is a little confusing, the only person who showed affection towards Elias was the Head alpha. The other two seemed indifferent to him in an intimate relationship way. That doesn’t really scream cohesive pack to me. I am hopeful that the next book in the series is better edited, and that the author decides not to use the same phrases over and over again. I’m pretty sure “honey-warm” was mentioned over 15 times when describing Elias’s scent. That got really old, really fast. Overall, it was a decent book. Not sure I would read it again or recommend it until of these errors are remedied.
