4.5/5 It took me an age to read White Cat, and when I eventually got round to it I absolutely loved it. So when I could get the sequel from S&S galleygrab I was thrilled! (cheers Simon&Schuster!!) The book starts with Cassel and his mum pulling cons in Atlantic City. It's obvious Cassel's not feeling too happy with his mum right now, and he's really not getting into the swing of things with her. Eventually he gets to go back to his posh school for senior year. In true Cassel style, the first thing he notices is that a ground floor room will make it easier for him to sneak out. I've never really been enamoured by the idea of a Male narrator, and it's put me off reading a lot of books I'd probably really enjoy. Despite that however, I LOVE Cassel. Not in the sexy way most people seem to, I just really like him as a narrator. I love his moral ambiguity, I find it really refreshing. I'm probably not supposed to say that. A lot of reviewers have been saying they didn't like Lila and the first book, but I actually really did. She was turned into a cat for years, she's bound to come out a bit loopy. I think Holly Black handled her forced infatuation with Cassel really well, it wasn't at all undignified for either of them, yet you really grasped the scope of just how difficult the situation was, especially for Cassel. I did figure out a lot of the main plot; but I think Holly always adds extra, surprise twists which I find harder to figure out and they're the ones I really enjoy. I've not seen any review even hint at the twist with Daneca's character...does that mean everyone else had her all worked out (forgive the pun, I'm sorry) or that they didn't really think it was a big thing? Eitherway, that knocked me for six. Did not see that coming. And I loved the way it was delivered too. I enjoyed watching Cassel come to terms with, and investigate his powers, and Holly showed his situation of being stuck between a rock and a hard place exceptionally well. I especially enjoyed the development in his character; the way he was trying to be more open with his friends-it was great to see that. I give this book 4.5/5 it's extremely enjoyable and overall, the Curseworkers series is, like Holly Black's other works, a refreshing and interesting take on YA fiction.

Sách được viết bởi Bởi:

When Lady Diana Fordham elopes with a Viscount who everyone in society frowns upon, her father sounds the alarm at London's most fashionable gentlemen's club. He vows to give her hand in marriage to the gent who rescues her. Two suitors immediately give chase and are followed by others also hoping to win the lady and her sizeable dowry. Enter the Marquis of Templeton, known by all as Temple, a fop and a dandy whose most pressing problem is observing London fashion and decrying the perfect fall of a gentleman's cravat. Or so he would have people think. In truth, he is working in the king's secret service. When called upon by king and country to rescue said Lady Diana (the king owes Diana's father a boon for his loyalty to the crown), Temple soon learns that the entire thing is a way for Diana to trap him into admitting that the passion they had ignited 10 years earlier still smolders beneath his foppish exterior. The plot thickens when King Louis XVI and Napoleon enter the scene. Seems there's more to Lady Diana than anyone knows? I thoroughly enjoyed this adventure through the English countryside. So nice not to have been stuck in the ballrooms and drawing rooms of the ton. Supberb descriptions and dialogue provide depth to the characters, making even the secondary ones come to life. The intimate scenes are handled with care and are not overly explicit. This is the first book by Elizabeth Boyle that I have read although she has written quite a number more. I look forward to reading more from this author.
