Despertar (Los poderes oscuros II) , Kelley Armstrong, ed. Marlow, 2010
Awakening took days and days roaming the shelves at home, from stack to stack, always delayed and always rejected. Curious, because it was the continuation of that Invocation liked me so much. Why not read it? Mandritis, I guess. But finally last weekend I sat in the reading corner (corner changing every two or three weeks because it is so hard on the couch at home one spot) and I zampa in a fairly quick read with a pair of through narrative gaps.
argument: it is a continuation of what happened in the first half. A Chloe and her friends things happen and solve mysteries and underpin new and confirms that youth is a saga of mystery, but different. I know that as a short story is suspenseful, but since the editorial Marlow is responsible for explaining the plot and the mysteries of the first part on the back, because it happened to me.
definitely saga The dark powers is one of the ones I like. I guess that is because much of what separates the amateur's literature (and more if you read romance paranormal or what you call or that horrible sense of "young adults" which is like neither fish nor fowl). While the plot and characters are very similar to the usual (classless, quiet guy vs. kids friendly, enemy, family mysteries, etc.) presented here by a dirty optical realism. The characters are all cute or funny or not have to be liked. And the problems are not solved problems and on two pages. The latter is explained.
being simplistic, the story arc is Awakening characters are at point A and have to get to point B without passing through points C and D because they are ill. What other novels are resolved in a paragraph. For example
Mike and I fled from the residence Starry Night. There could be happy and love as we loved each other because the evil Nazis Communists living in the basement boilers want to use my powers for evil. We left the road. No money, no food, no shelter, no friends, no personality and are to forty below zero. How would come to New York?
We arrived in New York while dawn ...
fragment of the novel do not love you Go, unwritten.
In Awakening, no. Kelley Armstrong plays the trick of the road and knows that some teens fled without money or food, and shelter are suffering. Poor sleep. Cold. Hunger. Odor. Road hazards. This contrasts physical journey with the only site that was the first novel. Along the way the characters grow, know, hate (little characters are so bad they end up falling between them, but must work) and run from danger. The argument and the mysteries are deployed, but always in a different way. The author points out something in the first few pages left in the air, follow other paths, swerves, turns ... Play with the structure and this is commendable, demanding the reader. It is also true that sometimes we miss a little more narrative pace, but the writer saves these challenges with a couple of big scenes that bring the novel to terror. The scene of the bats, for example.
protagonist of one of the best scenes in the novel.
characters develop, the bad are really bad and new threats. Kelley Armstrong begins to create a literary world that is becoming increasingly attractive, but subtle. New beings with powers, new creatures and new side. Leaving the residence to explore a subtle and controlled the fantasy world in which live actors.
Awakening is a good continuation of the series and a chapter that delves into the characters rather than action. It is still entertaining, fun and a different point. Perhaps that desire I had that fall more in the realm of terror has not been completely fulfilled, but has its moments. And in this part and start with hints of romance, but as the novel, romance is a realistic, credible and peaceful. When one flees from the bad and cold and hungry, one can not entertain to make hands.
A good second half for a good and friendly saga.
