The Demon Tide: 4 (Black Witch Chronicles)

A história está ficando cada vez mais intrincada e seus desdobramentos são esperados da forma que ocorrem, embora não tenha imaginado tal magnitude! O livro te faz rir, chorar, ter acessos de fúria e te deixa tenso e ansioso, para então te trazer momentos de experiências incríveis e muito interessantes!Mal posso esperar pelo próximo!

The media could not be loaded.  La portada, o protector de libro, esta suavecito. Como tipo terciopelo pero no llegando a que tenga pelito. Pero si esta suavecito. Asi que cuidado por que tus manos le dejaran manchitas. La portada dura no tiene diseño pero personalmemte con el nombre al lado es mas que suficiente. Hace que se vea super elegante.

This book. Wow. The world building and the character building in this series is phenomenal. This story hooks you in from the first word, grabs you by the throat and keeps you captive until the last syllable. I was immersed in the images and the feelings that the story evoked and I was unable to put it down. This is book 4 is the Black Witch Chronicles and picks up where the last book left us. Elloren, the Black Witch of Prophecy, has been thrust through a portal by her fastmate, Lukas as they were attacked by agents of Vogel and his shadow wand. Just as Elloren is disgorged from the portal somewhere new, she feels Yvan’s, who is mated to her, Wyvern Fire reaching out to her and she now understands he was not killed. So the love triangle, which was/is my least favorite part in the series, is back. The forces of good, including Elloren and all her allies aligned against the evil forces of Vogel are finally congregating in the Eastern Realm. The pacing of this story was delicious. The tension slowly ratcheting up higher and higher then a beautiful calm hopefulness right before the crushing storm. The story includes what you’d expect from this genre - intrigue, fighting, dangerous situations, end of the world scenarios, paranormal creatures, evil masterminds, henchmen, loyal friends and family, tragic back stories, secrets, mystical coincidences, snark, laughs, soulmates, redemption, and so many plots twists. This book was told with more points of view and a lot more romance than the other books. While I appreciated learning what happened to the secondary characters from the other books, I would have preferred we stuck with the same POVs from the other books. It felt disjointed at times jumping from person to person. There is another cliffhanger ending and it is going to be hard to wait for the final book.

I had forgotten how much I LOVE these books!I love how Laurie spent time going over everyone’s story, each character we’ve come to love getting a little bit of love and time on the page. I didn’t feel like it took away from Elloren’s story - more like added to it as all of her friends and family fighting for her, and what is good and right.I know a lot of people will be upset over the outcome of the love triangle, but I really liked the way it played out.Ending was surprising and exciting to see what happens next!

Auch der vierte (und wer weiß ob auch letzte Teil) dieser Reihe hat mich wieder von der ersten Seite an gefesselt weiterlesen lassen, bis tief in die Nacht hinein. Die Autorin bringt das soziale „Ungleichgewicht“ der realen Welt auf den Punkt in dieser Fantasy-Saga. Oft habe ich beim lesen gedacht, ja so ist es leider wirklich. Vielleicht hat sie das Ende auch gerade deswegen (Achtung Spoiler) bewusst offen gelassen, da wir ja auch nicht wissen wie sich unsere Gesellschaft entwickeln wird und ob wir es schaffen die großen Unterschiede in den einzelnen Kulturen zu meistern. Obwohl ich lieber Bücherserien mag, die am Ende abgeschlossen sind, hat mich dieses Buch nicht unzufrieden zurückgelassen. Und wer weiß, vielleicht geht es ja auch noch weiter, schön wäre es!
