Ressenyes

Super slow at the start but I really enjoyed it once I hit the halfway point.

Tropes: girl disguised as boy, secret royal

Content: war related violence (not detailed), a girl kissed Deryn thinking she was a he, lots of crushing

Tropes: secret royal, girl disguised as boy, friends to more

Content: battle, kissing, d*mn a couple of times

I found this novel difficult to get into. The plot moved very slowly over the 485 pages and the characters just weren't that interesting, besides their special powers. Some interesting ideas, but overall not an overly enjoyable read.

I didn't like this one as much as I liked the first three, but it was still enjoyable. It's interesting seeing how a city different from Tally's city responded to the changes. I also found it interesting how similar the reputation economy is to the influencers of today. Since this book was published in 2007, it seems almost like a prediction of Tik Tok. There were times where I felt the Japanese influence could've been better handled, as with Aya always talking about sushi as if that is the only thing Japanese people eat. Also, I wasn't sure if the timeline of events was totally accurate. Overall, I enjoyed the story and may check out Westerfeld's other novels that take place in the same universe.… (més)
