- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5I was trying to make it to at least 25% of Crystal Fire, but I just couldn't do it anymore at 13%. I was hopeful for a bit there since we start off with new characters, but things quickly went down hill. The couples from the previous book show up a couple of chapters in and immediately manage to annoy me with their cheesy interactions. There was a section of at least 5 paragraphs of info dumping to remind us of the previous book that masqueraded as reminiscing. There is a secondary character that dies in the previous book and said character very clearly only existed to die and make us sad and hate the bad guys. That being said, I still don't have strong feelings about the villains because I know nearly nothing about them! How did their organization come about? What is its actual goal? What does it pretend to be to the outside world? How does it have all this money? I can't hate something I know nothing about D:. Finally, despite the info dumps, I still know very little about the structure and rules of the magic powers in this series and it drives me nuts. There are Indigo children and Crystals apparently? Crystals are more peaceful and Indigos more warriorlike? Except the characters that are supposed to belong to each group don't reflect that AT ALL?? Everything feels so arbitrary and I just can't finish this one unfortunately.

Ich weiß, ich weiß, gute Vorsätze und alles, wenn einem der erste Band nicht gefallen hat, dann sollte man die Finger von den nächsten Bänden lassen, etc. pp. Immer wieder schmeiße ich diesen Vorsatz um, nur um dann bitterlich enttäuscht zu werden, so auch bei „Indigo: Der Aufstand“ von Jordan Dane.
Dabei fängt das Buch ganz interessant an, greift genau die Handlungselemente auf, die ich trotz aller Unzufriedenheit mit „Indigo: Das Erwachen“ gut fand, und ich hatte schon so große Hoffnungen, dass aus der Geschichte noch was wird :D Aber das war natürlich nichts…
Die Handlung schleicht so vor sich dahin und das auf ziemlich vorhersehbaren Wegen, die Charaktere ergehen sich in stumpfen, repetitiven Handlungen ohne sich überhaupt mal weiter zu entwickeln und sind hauptsächlich einfach nur kitschig und der Schreib- und Erzählstil ist langweilig und eintönig.
Mein Fazit daher: In Zukunft werde ich mich an meine guten Vorsätze halten und keine Fortsetzungen mehr lesen von Serien, bei denen mir der erste Band schon nicht gefallen hat. Jordan Danes „Indigo: Der Aufstand“ habe ich nach etwa der Hälfte abgebrochen, weil ich einfach keine Lust mehr darauf hatte und trotz wiederholter Versuche es doch noch zu Ende zu lesen, ist daraus nichts geworden… :|
Wem der erste Band gefallen hat, der wird sich vermutlich auch mit diesem hier anfreunden können, wem aber Teil eins schon nicht gefallen hat, dem kann ich von der Fortsetzung nur abraten! ;)
