My rating:

2.5 stars

probably it's not you book, but the angel angle ruined it for me. [*For those who join my broadcasts late, I have a particular pet peeve of not reading things related to angels.]

Chrysabelle es una Comarre , una raza mortal que son una especie de siervos de sangre criados para ese proposito: para brindar sus servicios o mejor dicho vender sus "derechos de sangre" a los vampiros nobles millonarios. Aparentemente tenerlos es simbolo de estatus , ademas de que su sangre es más pura y super yummy. Peero Chrysabelle tenia planes de ser 'normal' despues de su periodo de contrato de cien años en que su patron puede liberarla , pero la cosa sale mal, él es asesinado y ella escapa acusada de asesinato buscando forma de probar su inocencia.

SINOPSIS: Will comparte con su padre una afición muy extraña para un chico de catorce años: pasa su tiempo excavando, buscando tesoros perdidos en las entrañas de la tierra. Así descubre que, bajo el mismo Londres, existen túneles que no constan en ningún mapa y puertas olvidadas durante siglos. Pero… ¿adónde llevan? Cuando el padre de Will desaparece misteriosamente, el joven decide aventurarse en su búsqueda, desafiando la oscuridad y el temor a lo desconocido. Con la sola ayuda de su amigo Chester, se dirige hacia un mundo fascinante y a la vez aterrador, un mundo lleno de sorpresas, con sus propias leyes, extraños personajes… y terribles amenazas.

3.5 don't-forget-your-torch stars

La gracia de este libro para mi es que es el primero que tenía en mi lista de TBR , desde 2011. YAY; uno menos.

Bien flaco favor le hicieron los publicistas a este libro comparándolo con la serie Harry Potter queriendo subirse a su popularidad. Desde ya les digo que no se le parece en nada. NO hay magos, ni seres de mitologia de cuentos por aqui; asi que tampoco se asemeja a Artemis Fowl II, pese a los subterráneos.

Series: The Chronicles of Gwendolyn Gray #2

BLURB: Heroes never return from adventure unchanged, and Gwendolyn Gray knows this better than anyone. She faces a new darkness within herselfwith no help or comfort from her friends Sparrow and Starling. On top of that, the City is only getting worse. When the Faceless Gentlemen return to menace her again, Gwendolyn escapes to the lands of the Fae. But even the dreamlike Faeoria holds dangers that even she could never have imagined. Gwendolyn must learn to master her magic and manage her internal struggles if she ever hopes to defeat the villainous forces that control the City, find Sparrow and Starling, and save the people she loves.

3.3 spread-your-imagination stars

“Everyone is born different. None of us are born to fit in.”

When the heroine of a story defeats the bad guys, derailing their evil plans, the story ends with a happy ending, right? Well, Gwendolyne hoped it would be like this, not even caring that anyone knew what she had been through or done, or was she? However, she feels depressed and misses her friends and fellow adventurers. Her world continues to be mostly gray and it continues to follow the same operating laws, not like the world of pirates and adventure. Like all the kids, maybe she expected a radical change and not a small change here and there, like her friends from school who want to hear stories now. And I think Gwendolyn fails to acknowledge her parents' love for her.

But the gray men have not yet given up on reordering the world as it should be.

Gwendolyn is once again haunted by enormous powers and must jump to another world to escape and seek help.
