good-Will. Do I muttered when I saw this book in bookstores. (I have a very clear trend soliloquize!)
Another vampire novel. Another love story culcul praline, or a book with good ideas but with passages of sex totally unnecessary.
should know that if I'm a fan of literature of imagination, fantasy, fantasy and understand, I have some reservations with respect to what is called the bitt litt. Why? I surf the next wave of certain albums. (Note: I am not of generality, there are good books bitt litt. But there are also some bad things.)
Finally, it is certain that once I let myself go to trial to the punch.
Immortals is not already a history of vampires. (So much the better. To me THE vampire is Dracula. That's all. And not a young beardless that shines like a mirror ball. Lestat, Louis and others are also accepted course!) No, the characters are magicians, and do not die. Finally, in general
In this wave of novels that are similar, Immortals is a very pleasant surprise.
Heroin is annoying. It was nice to have more than four hundred years behind her, she is clueless as a teenager. She lives a young rebel to booze with his friends, but from the beginning of the story everything changes for her. His best friend, also immortal, uses of magic (in this story the Immortals are magicians.) To break the back of a taxi driver very polite. And then it all starts to spin. She does not want to continue live with this kind of character. Then she flees, and searching his memory, remembers having met dozens of years, rather, an immortal who had offered his help. In England, she went deep in the U.S., in what looks like a rehabilitation center for bio Immortals lost.
but guess what, she did not really welcomed by Reyn, a Viking god, also a resident, (yes, he is described as that) as affable a prison door. Having fled his hostility and his own cowardice, she ended up back at the "center". And begins for the young woman a sort of relearning life. It attempts to tame, integrate, and especially to accept who she is. Soon she discovers that she is much more than she thought.
This novel (the first volume of a trilogy I think), is full of humanity, and if the magic is present in the narrative is not always the center of history. The characters are interesting, the writing is fairly good, and the incursions of heroin in his past are very pleasant to read. I read the novel in one go, and in the end I found myself regretting that this is already finished.
Further proof that we should not judge by appearances, and a title may be misleading.
