The Promises of Dr. Sigmundus

review 1: Este livro é o segundo de uma série de uma trilogia e, como tal, deveria ter começado por ler o primeiro volume... mas não o tenho, este foi o único que me chegou às mãos.E mesmo assim posso dizer que gostei do que li, embora seja evidente que se tivesse lido o volume anterior a história faria mais sentido em alguns pormenores.É um livro pequeno, que se lê num instante (eu li o meu numa tarde) e que, para quem gosta do género fantástico, está repleto de imagens bonitas e cenas heróicas.
review 2: It had been well over a year since I read the first of the Promises of Dr. Sigmundus books, and I found myself really confused the first half of my reading of this sequel. It's not that I want more recap, and in fact I'd say the recap that existed was han... moredled really very naturally through introductions to new characters and other characters having to rediscover their own memories. What I was missing was the overarching "why are these characters doing this again?" I also thought it was way too short, but I guess that's a good thing because it shows I was really enjoying it. The dystopian aspects of this series are what draw me in. The substance Ichor is said to eradicate violence and wrong-doing from the world, but it really seems only to engender blind obedience from those who are effected by it. So what is Dr. Sigmundus really after? The Odyll seems to be the source of several of the characters' mysterious powers, but what exactly is it? Sometimes it seems like a place, sometimes like a memory or a dream. I have so many questions. This story is complex and vast, but the amount of pages per each installment leaves little room to bring the various threads together. Let's hope the next one (last one?) starts to make some sense of it all. less
