Book of Shadows

Very innapropriate

Amai, dat was rap! Het boek eindigt zo botsbollig dat ik eerst niet doorhad dat hij uit was. Pas toen het volgende hoofdstuk van de bundel die ik leest getiteld was als ‘Proloog' viel mijn frank.
Geen hoogstaande literatuur, maar zuigt je volledig binnen. Ook veel interessante weetjes over Wicca.
Ben ondertussen dus bezig met boek 2 ;-)

Didn't want to let go of it. looking forward to the following volumes :D

There were things I could do without in this book. Cal, of course he was the most beautiful boy ever to grace the Earth. Isn't that how it always is? And the beautiful best friend who will, I'm sure at some point, become the mortal enemy after previously mentioned most beautiful boy chooses the plain main character over her (a la Haven in the {I greatly hated} Immortal series). Then of course there's the goth/porn/emo chick who will undoubtedly become best friends with recent made ex-best friend of Morgan.

Yeah, I suppose that's what makes it a story, right? And it wasn't bad it was just formulatic. We've all seen that story play out before.

But the Wicca. It brought me back to my late teenage/early twenties years when I studied. I still have, tucked away in my closet, my ‘tool chest' of Wicca things and books line my bookshelf. Cate Tiernan does the religion well with her own little tweaks here and there. For me it was nostalgic and comfortable.

I did like Morgan, though she was a little too goody-goody for me. She's no Nasty, but she's growing on me.

This entire series is awesome. The way Cate Tiernan adds a fantasy edge to Wicca and the attitudes she brings out in the characters. Its hard to believe that such short books can be so great, but they are. This is one series I could read over and over again.

This book, which was unfortunately put out by one of my favourite publishers, is complete crap. It reads like a children's book and has no depth or originality. How did the author get the entire series published?
