Crying in tears of happiness

“I let myself slip away... Just to stay sane. Just to get through it. And when I felt myself slipping too far, I held on to the one thing I'm always sure of - Blue eyes. Bronze curls. The fact that Simon Snow is the most powerful magician alive. That nothing can hurt him, not even me. That Simon Snow is alive. And I'm hopelessly in love with him.”

Actual review 7/12/15.
This is for sure one of the best books I've read this year and it's up there with Jane Eyre, Mistborn and A Thousand Splendid Suns. This is the second best book by her I've read, having read Fangirl, Landline and Eleanor&Park-i think I liked E&P a little more- and it was just so beautiful.

I don't know how she can make me feel so many emotions with just words but she does. You have made me fall in love again with you beatiful writing, Rainbow.

The magic system was just fascinating:“Magic words are tricky. Sometimes to reveal something hidden, you have to use the language of the time it was stashed away. And sometimes an old phrase stops working when the reat of the world is sick os saying it” “And they become more powerful the more that they're said and read and written, in specific, consistent combinations” By the way the magic works, the spells are always evolving with the language and it's just so freaking cool!

Characters I loved: BAZ BAZ BAZ BAZ BAZ FREAKING BAZ:
He was all that I wanted in a character, and I would marry him if I could.
Penelope: she's totally a character of her own, not just a Hermione's copy. Her skills are out of this world and when she cast her spells I was just cracking up xD

I hated Agatha, the Mage and Simon so much, like I REALLY DESPISE them. No kidding.


Such a beautiful book. Thank you Rowell.

Reseña escrita el 6 de febrero, libro terminado el 21 de Enero.
Al empezar este libro, me quedé sorprendida por la gran capacidad de Martin para describir personajes y hacerlos tan complejos al punto en el que nunca llegas a conocerlos bien y algunas de sus acciones pueden resultar inesperadas. Ningún personaje es bueno o malo, todos tienen sus virtudes y la verdad no hay villanos ni héroes definidos.
Los únicos “problemas” que tuve con este libro fueron que al ser demasiados personajes y al ser llamados siempre diferente (por su primer nombre, apellido o apodo) Martin me confundía a veces y tenía que volver atrás en la novela para recordar a quien se hablaba o googlear al personaje.
El segundo problema fue que al tener el punto de vista de tantos personajes no logré apegarse completamente a ellos.
Sin embargo es un libro que recomiendo a todo el mundo (tengan en cuenta que es un libro ‘adulto') y tengo ansias de seguir con esta serie!
