Did you like Lestat? You prefer him Louis? The cruelty of the first and the search for his lost humanity for the second! For me, and those who know me know, those two dethrone or even that come shake a little bit their pedestal, I naurais never believed this thing possible. Georgia Caldera makes! She transported me into his world at once dark, dramatic, tender and sweet. A subtle blend of darkness and of love, blood, and of hope. You tell me, necessarily, a book about vampires is of this ilk. But certainly lauteure has managed to imbue his narrative strength and fragility that can not leave unmoved. Add to that a well thought vampiric context and you're in front of a successful first volume. We look for faults, but nen not find. The vision of Georgia Caldera about these creatures is quite far known myths and just taking it brings a very innovative wind.
The story is divided into two parts according to the chapters. Passages present and past memories. Thus, we see the plot and purpose of the novel over the reminiscences of Cornelia. It is there, and the other protagonists, different between these two periods. A past full of bitterness, even hatred, changed attitudes and characters. These two views, both aspects of the personalities are the wealth of history and push the reader to turn the pages. Thus, Henri alone is a very important character who tickles our curiosity about its radical change of attitude between the past and the present quentrevoit Cornelia. No, you nen not know more about history. This book simply deserves BE read and not spoile.
The side of the pen lauteure, no complaints! The style is rich and clear at once, full of tenderness and descriptions capture us demblée projecting us in the scenario. Some feelings seem not progress at times, Henry, stepping forward and stepping back the next day. These passages will then perhaps annoying sometimes, but we have to see the novel in its entirety to understand that this is justified. While this may seem negative, nen is not one, at least for me it has never been, but I wanted to point out.
It is also good to note that the illustration of the book is sublime. Made of hand lauteure itself, the portrait of Cornelia is a work to which I often refer coming during my reading, scrutinizing the details of the dress, ribbons, face
The record is clear in regard to me this first volume is a success. It sets up the life of Cornelia and the dHenri and vampiric condition. We feel that this suspense throughout the story is even more scary, creepy, bloody in the second installment. It is with impatience I wait three days after I finished and I havent lai quune envy, read it again.
