I don't mind dark, but I need at least a little light. ( ) i was surprised at how much i liked this book and the main character, sydney. its darker and more complicated than your regular magician stories. this could be 'throne of glass', if that book was better (meeeow!). the only bad thing i can think of was that it felt like the story was trying to do to much...but it tied up things in a satisfying way, and i enjoyed breezing through the pages. i'll have to pick up the next book in the series. the Unseen World background was enticingly detailed and a perfect setup for urban fantasy, and i would have loved to have seen more of it (in fact, there's a sequel out now, A Sleight of Shadows). the setting in monied NYC worked a treat for a revenge story, from the high-end bars to Central Park landmarks that go bad because of dark magic. the story (revenge) just galloped along in quite engaging fashion, and the ending was satisfying. the characters, though, were mostly a bit shallow, other than the protagonist, and only seemed to have the one trait the story happened to need. however, it was lots of fun to read, and i will read the next one with interest. inga recensioner | lägg till en recension

"There is a dark secret that is hiding at the heart of New York City and diminishing the city's magicians' power in this fantasy thriller by acclaimed author Kat Howard. In New York City, magic controls everything. But the power of magic is fading. No one knows what is happening, except for Sydney--a new, rare magician with incredible power that has been unmatched in decades, and she may be the only person who is able to stop the darkness that is weakening the magic. But Sydney doesn't want to help the system, she wants to destroy it. Sydney comes from the House of Shadows, which controls the magic with the help of sacrifices from magicians"-- Inga biblioteksbeskrivningar kunde hittas. |
