review 1: I really hated Oliver's story about meeting the witch; it was completely unnecessary. First of all, he would never succumb to becoming a blood whore. I don't like how he was all the sudden weak, but then two seconds later he was able to fight the hypnosis that he was under. I also didn't like how hypnosis was used to explain the breaking of the devotion from the familiar; it is just too easy. I also didn't like that one night of sex and a "special" breakfast is how Oliver was able to get over his love for Sky. I loved hearing about how Sky's mother, Allegra, and Sky's father, Ben, fell in love. They sound like two high school sweethearts. Charles was really stuck up in this story and I can see exactly where Mimi got that from; she just followed the example her "father" set... more. I wish the first time that Allegra took Ben as her familiar was after they were already in love and she was in dire need of it. From the way I read it, it seems that she was tempted and she indulged in that temptation. So, from the ending, I am guessing that her and Charles also slept together, if we are to believe the vision that Allegra saw. Which brings us to the vision, that was super weird. I liked hearing about the bonding ceremony between Jack and Sky, but we didn't need all the danger and everything that went along with it. The author should have just told us about the night of their bonding and left it at that. Also, I do not buy for a minute that both Sky and Jack were virgins before this. What about all those secret trysts that they had together in that apartment? Don't tell me that they did everything but sex and cuddled. Also, what about that whole year that Sky was with Oliver? Are you telling me that nothing happened? They shared a room for a year...
review 2: Beh, con questa ultima novella ho concluso(appena in tempo) il mio mese di Sangue Blu (Blue Bloods). Ho fatto questa ''maratona sangue blu'' e ho letto i primi 6 libri (novella compresa) della serie, poiché gli ultimi due li ho letti qualche mese fa. L'ultima volta che lessi la saga completa fu tanto tempo fa, e sinceramente mi ero scordata un sacco di cose. Rileggendo i libri mi sono innamorata di nuovo di questa saga, ed essendo maturata e cresciuta ho dovuta rivalutare molte cose e personaggi. Prima di tutto partirei da Jack. L'ho sempre odiato, SEMPRE. E perché? Beh, semplice. Oliver è stato il mio primo amore, il mio primo ''book-boyfriend'' e lo amo tutt'ora, in questo triangolo amoroso Schuyler-Jack-Oliver ho sempre preferito Oliver, e quindi sempre odiato Jack. Ma rileggendo la saga, ho cambiato idea e in effetti Jack mi piace(mai quanto Ollie).Inoltre Mimi, è ''simpatica'', negli ultimi due libri. Poi molte morti, che non ricordavo, mi hanno fatta piangere un sacco. R.I.P.Ma perché devono far morire tutti?Inoltre, ho trovato nuovi ragazzi,eheheh. Dylan,(piango), Kingsley(che non ricordavo così...) e diciamo quasi Jack. A parte le mie fantasie, devo dire che la saga non mi ha deluso per niente. Come dicevo all'inizio, essendo maturata, ed essendo questa una saga sui vampiri, stile Twilight, temevo che una volta letta mi avrebbe fatto schifo. (infatti quando la lessi ero nel mio periodo ''VamPiRi e AnGeLi 4EveR!!, anche se i vampiri li amerò per sempre) Invece mi è piaciuta un sacco, forse più delle altre volte! Quindi sono felicissima, e la consiglio in generale a chi ama l'urban fantasy e devo dire che somiglia un po' a Shadowhunters, anche se non vorrei dire un'enorme stupidaggine, avendo letto solo City of Bones. less
