I need this Dutch sentence translated to English, please: Ik had me echt op dit boek verheugd, maar het bleek een compleet treinongeluk te zijn.Maar de rol van Stofvinger, Capricorn, Meggie en Farid was wel zo'n beetje volmaakt. Mo was onopvallend, maar zo herinner ik me hem ook uit het eerste boek. Elinor paste heel goed bij de geest van het personage uit de boeken, maar ze zag er nogal raar uit. Fenoglio was zo-zo.Basta en Capricorns moeder waren belachelijke lachebekjes en niet bepaald angstwekkend zoals ze hadden moeten zijn. Roxane (die in het eerste boek zelfs nooit vluchtig wordt genoemd) had zwart haar!

I had really been looking forward to this one but it turned out to be a complete train wreck.The casting of Dustfinger, Capricorn, Meggie and Farid was pretty much perfect, though. Mo was unremarkable, but then that's just how I remember him from the first book. Elinor matched the spirit of the character in the books quite well but the looks were quite off. Fenoglio was so-so.Basta and Capricorn's mother were ridiculous laughing stock and not inherently fear-inducing as they should have been. Roxane (who is never even fleetingly mentioned in the first book IIRC) had black hair!The script just rushed through the first 80% of the book in what barely seemed like half an hour, skipping anything that would have helped in either understanding the characters (or even the plot) or building up atmosphere, just to close with a completely tacked-on, contrived new ending that killed any hope for a (better) sequel.
