No hay buenos totalmente buenos y no sabes si los malos lo son realmente, las brujas, a pesar de ser las destinadas a salvar el mundo, tienen antes que lidiar con su propia juventud e inexperiencia, lo que, a su vez, las hace más humanas y las aleja de la literatura juvenil rosa y bobalicona que menudo encontramos en estos libros. Al principio no sabía que esperar y tampoco estaba segura que me estuviera gustando, sin embargo, he de admitir que al final resultó bastante entretenida y me dejó con ganas de seguir con la serie. After dismissing these books as being "over hyped" for years, I was shocked to find I enjoyed the shit out of this one. The only reason I didn't finish it in one sitting was because real life kept interupting me with stuff. Afterwards I ran to the library (literally, I jogged there) to get part 2 and 3. One of the things I really love about it is that it has six female protagonists. I've read so many (good) YA novels that stars the one girl, and that's pretty much it, the rest of the supporting cast is male. Not this time though, we have six very different but all very real female protagonists to relate to. These six girls have to impossibly balance school, magical powers, annoying boyfriends, friends who don't understand and evil demons who are out to get them, all while trying to get along as a very reluctant group. While I didn't do all of that when I was in high schol (although I do think we all encounter those demons in locker number 643), I think most people will be able to relate to their struggles. This book could have been about 200 pages shorter and the story would not have suffered. I nearly stopped reading the book several times in the first half (that's 300 pages that I waded through, for those keeping count), and probably the only reason I continued was because it was a book club book. Though I was so very very close to not finishing when I decided I wanted a bath last night and read the last third of the book or so in the tub. The bathtub is my happy reading place where I am only distracted by kitties who periodically come to check on me to make sure I was still alive, and to give me very concerned looks. This book has been compared to Buffy -- which I can see, I guess. They both start off taking place in high school. Only Buffy had less meaningless angst, more vampires, less exposition, less info-dumps after 300 pages of no info, and less of me wanting to punch the characters. And I felt so unsatisfied by the ending. Nothing was really explained, and while I realize this was the first part in a trilogy, I felt that for 600 pages, more big picture could have been revealed. Instead, we had one info-dump scene towards the middle where the girls are lectured on the Council and their magic books, and then nothing really before or after that. And the book didn't draw me in enough for to really want to continue reading the series to find out the bigger picture. Una noche de luna llena color rojo sangre, seis chicas se ven arrastradaspor una fuerza misteriosa hasta un teatro al aire libre abandonado. Días antes, un compañero apareció muerto en el instituto.

On a night after the apparent suicide of high school student Elias Malmgren, a blood-red moon fills the night sky. Minoo wakes up outside her house, still in her pajamas, and is drawn by an invisible force to an abandoned theme park on the outskirts of town. Soon five of her classmates--Vanessa, Linnea, Anna-Karin, Rebecka and Ida--arrive, compelled the same force. A mystical being takes over Ida's body and tells them they are fated to fight an ancient evil that is hunting them. The park is a safe haven; the school, a place of danger. The six are wildly different and definitely not friends...but they are the Chosen Ones. As the weeks pass, each girl discovers she has a unique magical ability. They begin exploring their powers, but they are not all firmly committed to their mission--to discover the truth about Elias's death. Then a horrible tragedy strikes within the circle. Newly determined to fight the evil forces, they begin to learn magic from The Book of Patterns, an ancient work with a will of its own that reveals different things to different witches. In this gripping first installment of the Engelsfors Trilogy, a parallel world emerges in which teenage dreams, insanely annoying parents, bullying, revenge, and love collide with flirtation, dangerous forces, and ancient magic. An international sensation with rights sold in 24 countries, The Circle is razor-sharp and remarkable from start to finish. Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |
