review 1: It's hard to open-mindedly judge a book after spending a couple of time reading books from veteran writers, so I believe that my opinion towards this book won't be the best of them all. Let's just say that the story's core is pretty good, but the way it was written could've been a LOT better. André Vianco's writing style didn't please me that much.The story goes like this: a drug dealer, amidst his anxiety to change his lifestyle to something worth living, tries to trick one of his clients in the last drug business of his life and finds himself involved in an apocalyptic battle between angels and demons. As a last resort to save his own life, the angel Thal joins himself to Gregório, helping him escape from death and bringing him to the calm city of Belo Verde, where Gre... moregório's twin brother Samuel lives. Everything would seem to go nice and smoothly if it wasn't for one small detail: by uniting himself to Gregório, Thal breaks an important rule of the spectral plan, which said that supernatural creatures should NOT join with humans. The breaking of the rules triggers a conflict between heaven and hell.The story itself is not bad. It has a fast paced rhythm and, in spite of the several focus changes, it is pretty easy to follow. I must say that it even succeeds in creating an atmosphere of anxiety, which is good enough to keep the reader interested to the story from the beginning to the end. I do have a problem with the writing style though. That and the way the characters talked. I feel like there is a lack of coherence and realism in their speeches, since they mixed a foul language with a formal language the whole time.Overall, this is not a BAD book, alas, it also isn't good enough for me to want to read it all over again. Vianco was very daring and wrote this book without a shadow of fear, for this I'd have to give him thumbs up.
review 2: Segundo as leis dos espíritos, anjos e demónios estão proibidos de interferir com o plano terreno. No entanto, o anjo Thal desrespeitou essa regra fundamental ao apoderar-se do corpo de Gregório, um traficante de droga, após ser atacado por um grupo de demónios liderado por Khel, um cão-demónio. Com o aproximar da Batalha Negra, consequência directa do quebrar das regras, as forças da Luz e das Trevas reunem tropas e apoio espiritual nos seus seguidores para aquela que se revelou ser uma batalha sangrenta.Em conversa sobre escritores contemporâneos brasileiros com várias pessoas desse país que conheço via internet, muitas delas recomendaram-me André Vianco. Como infelizmente não está publicado em Portugal, tive que recorrer ao formato e-book para ter acesso às suas obras. Digo infelizmente porque pela qualidade de escrita que encontrei neste livro, é uma pena que os leitores portugueses não tenham acesso às suas obras. Não sou propriamente fã de literatura deste género, onde se incluem elementos de um panorama mais sobrenatural, mas confesso que tive uma agradável surpresa. Apesar de, por momentos, o cruzamento de vários planos de narrativa se tornar confuso, no geral é um livro agradável de ler. Devo, no entanto, alertar que certas passagens não são aconselháveis a estômagos mais fracos. Recomendo-o vivamente aos fãs do género. less
