My opinion: Richelle Mead
is an author I like very much! So I decided to test this new series.
history ..
Eugenie is a powerful shaman. His job? Banish the creatures of the Shadowlands venture came home. One day, a Wil wants to hire him to find his baby sister Jasmine, who has been kidnapped in the Shadowlands. Once
Eugenie landed in the world of Fae, her life will be changed. She discovers many things about his past, and will fall prey to creatures of the Otherworld because of a prophecy (that idiot judge at first).
A little more about the characters ..
Eugenie is a strong heroine in her job, but she is struggling in his personal life. She is a woman rather lonely and not very comfortable with humans.
Eugenie became acquainted Kiyo, a kitsune ( Shapeshifter ) that will help and will not let indifferent.
I have hooked up with the character of Dorian , this king Fae (questionable practices lol). Behind his arrogance, we feel that he is hiding something deeper.
Other characters are equally important: the mind-servants of Eugenie. I loved the character Volusian: D
A word on writing .. The
pace of the narrative that is not bored for a moment. The story bounces quite often it is dynamic. The universe created by Richelle Mead original.
I found a few vulgar lines, but not anything very shocking, and it is really minimal. In fact, given the back cover, I expected a bad history of fantasy / bit-bed sprinkled with sex to excess, but no, this is not the case. Dorian and Kiyo are not confined to the description given, and not everything is a simple story of "creatures in search of Eugenie to copulate."
In conclusion, it is a reading that I really enjoyed . We are not in the same register as Vampire Academy, but it does not upset me at all. I am aware of being in the bit-bed (or fantasy) before reading, and not in a youth title.
This first volume is a success: it sets the scene, but presents a real story and leaves us hungry.
