Niet wat ik had verwacht. Fijn om te lezen over deze periode in de Nederlandse geschiedenis maar de karakters konden mij niet boeien.

Hmmm... Not really sure what to make of this book. I feel like it was enjoyable to read and it definitely kept me interested but everything that was keeping me interested kinda wrapped up quickly and thoughtlessly. It had an extremely anticlimactic ending and I feel duped that they never REALLY explain who the hell the miniaturist was! It was kind of like the author ran out of steam and was like "ehhhhh, this explanation is good enough"

L'idée de départ était particulièrement originale et m'a de suite séduite. L'écriture du roman est intéressante mais je dois avouer que ce n'est pas ce à quoi je m'attendais bien que cela reste une bonne surprise.

Burton has created such a compelling story that literally transports you back and it was just so interesting and real and raw.

Det är utan tvekan ett ambitiöst projekt att skriva en sådan här bok. Författaren lyckas bra med att bygga upp ett trovärdigt 1600-tals Amsterdam och språket är vackert, om man bortser från att hela berättelsen är skriven i presens (vilket ihop med att det faktiskt ska föreställa en historisk skildring blir ganska märkligt). Tyvärr är handlingen lite vinglig, och spänningen byggs aldrig upp till max. Inte heller är karaktärerna tillräckligt dynamiska för min smak (favoriten Marin kommer nästan i mål), särskilt inte huvudkaraktären. Det finns luckor som frustrerar, men det är ändå en bok som går lätt att läsa.

I enjoyed reading this story, but it wasn't perfect. My biggest beef with it is that thematically and in terms of the main characters' ideas and actions, it was too modern for the setting. Not a bad book by any means, but not what it might have been.

This book kept me *just* engaged enough to want to know how it ends, it was mostly predictable, yet satisfying. It became a PBS historical drama, and can see why, but it would struggling to keep up with what most readers are looking for today.
