Description

El libro tiene una temática muy original, y siento que deja un mensaje claro, todos tenemos un lado oscuro, nadie es completamente bueno ni completamente malo. The ending took me by surprise due to the reappearance from a certain character. I'm not sure how I feel about it, but I am eager to continue this series. Do I think it's the Next Big Thing? Who knows. But it's a damn good book. I want to say “Marcus.” He’s my father and I want to say his name, but I’m too afraid. I’m always too afraid to say his name.Oh, hi, Voldemort! There are many of this kind of episode happening in the book, where he would suddenly become so angry he would throw things around and he would shout and he would go all angsty in his head and I'm like, "...Man, I'm drained from reading this shit."

This is basically the story of Harry Potter's Severus Snape, if Voldemort had been his daddy. He's also got a Lily to comfort him and some Marauders-wannabes beating him up. If Netflix gets a reputation for canceling promising shows before the story is complete, then breakout hits are going to be harder and harder to come by. And that’s an outcome that’s bad for everybody. So, in this situation, Netflix should be boosting the show with its algorithm to ensure it gets seen by as many people as possible given that it’s…very good, according to both critics and fans. Instead, the unfortunate reality is that it seems more likely that viewership will be low and it will get cancelled, like many of Netflix’s other YA experiments before it. But then again, in saying this, I do kind of want to see what happens. I don't know I'm really unsure. I may try and read the next books at some point, but I don't really want to have to pay for them. I won't be going really out of my way to get the next books, but I do kinda want to give them a try. I am kind of interested to see what happens next, but then, I didn't find this book supremely engaging. I don't know... Real mixed emotions...

Select a format:

He moves on to the top of my finger, over the fingernail. The needle goes through again. That's pretty much the entire book. There is a lot of torture, a lot of pain, and some very vague plans to find his daddy. He-Who-Must-Be-Named. Actually, his name is Marcus. So I must go to him. Half Bad is a young adult fantasy novel that seeks to be "grittier" than typical YA fare. It succeeds, in part, but is bogged down by the typical angst-y relationships and fairly predictable plot. The Plot: There is not much of a plot here. We see Nathan from up, from a child, to a 17-year old. He gets tortured. He runs away. That's it. There is no huge, compelling, overwhelming plot, and the main clue that we were given turned out to be a red herring because the book didn't turn out at all the way I expected it to go ased on the hints.

There are great themes introduced, mostly focusing on what it means to be "good" or "bad" and how do we make this distinction. The author does a wonderful job of making you think about these things. I'm glad that I read Harry Potter first, because the world setting is very similar, in that magic is apparently an inherited trait, delivered by blood on a Witch's 17th birthday. When he first ran into Marcus, Nathan seemed calm as his father told the story of how he met his mother. I loved everything, and it’s been a WHILE since I had absolutely no complaints in a book. The thing is, I want to read the next books ASAP but I’m not getting money until May 1. THEN there are 999999 book releases in May which I want to buy and basically WHAT THE HELL DO I DO?????In the book Half Bad, Marcus once had a vision of his son killing him with the Fairborn - a magical knife passed down through the Edge family bloodline. Marcus had gained this power by ripping the heart from a witch who possessed the special ability and eating it. Strangely enough, even though Half Bad is about witches, there's not much magic in it. There are a few instances where there are spells mentioned and used, but the vast majority boils down to witches making potions. There are no wands or cloaks or three-quarter platforms. I think this was smart, otherwise, would we see a lot of comparisons between Half Bad and Harry Potter floating around. As far as I can tell, they don't have anything in common besides the same paranormal creature. Refreshing. Original. A tar-dark world full of magic and polarized along the lines of white and dark witches. The joke's the white witches aren't all that light.

The world is also great because I felt everything is explained nicely and it's not very confusing. I like the descriptions of how the witch world is entwined with our modern world. Also, I LOVE that this novel is set in the UK, we get to visit England, Whales, and Scotland! Also, some of the language reflects that. I just think it is so cool!The book is so diverse, it's mind blowing. Also, sexuality is like a normal thing in this book? No one needed to reveal anything or come out of whatever they're imaginary inside, it's just is, no big deal. As simple as what colour your eyes are. As simple as it should be to be honest. Later that night, when I am getting undressed, Arran has a go at talking to me. I guess Gran has asked him to try. He says I should "rethink," "perhaps ask permission to go to one place in Wales," and some other stuff like that. Adult stuff. Gran's stuff. At Ready Steady Cut, Jonathon Wilston described the show as “as guaranteed a hit as the platform has had in some time.” Andrew Murray at The Upcoming argued that it had “the style, personality and ideas” to “avoid becoming another casualty of cancellation, as has been the case with so many other similar shows.”

Like I said there's nothing wrong with that... for me I guess it was simply a matter of him becoming really boring all of a sudden. Where did my beloved character go? Sorry, Nathan. And your life is so empty that sitting in the middle of nowhere acting as jailor for an innocent child must seem pretty rewarding.” You will have a powerful Gift — we can all see that — but it’s how you use it that will show you to be good or bad." I'm sorry, but I'm afraid this review will be terribly short. The reason? Take the title and replace the word "Half" with "Totally". Here you have my review. It would be awesome but I'm still waiting for it because this book has nothing with the amazing world of J.K.

What happens to Marcus Edge?
