No puedo decir mucho más, porque no quiero haceros ningún spoiler, prefiero que leáis el libro y descubráis todo lo que guarda en su interior por vosotros mismos.

Court of Shadows by Victor Dixen | Goodreads The Court of Shadows by Victor Dixen | Goodreads

Jeanne est un personnage qui pour moi passe très (trop) vite en mode vengeance ! Ce qui est génial, qu’on rentre dès le premier chapitre dans un rythme intense, se retourne un peu contre le personnage principal étant donné qu’elle passe parfois pour une gamine pas contente de son sort, qui se réveille d’un seul coup avec une fixette. Però non credo che lo stile potesse essere così diverso in origine. Per quanto questo fosse uno YA, non è che scrivere un romanzo per ragazzi voglia dire prendere una trama per adulti e banalizzarla, riducendo ogni scena a una farsa splatter. Un très bon univers original qui mêle cour de Louis XIV et vampires. Il y a un vrai effort sur le worldbuilding qui est très intéressant et bien développé.En cuanto a la elegancia de la que, en teoría, deben hacer gala las mujeres, ha de saber que se trata de una invención de los hombres para someternos" Imperious swivelled his sorrel head once again, this time in an attempt to bite his rider’s hand as punishment for bringing him to this hellish place. Evidently, it wasn’t only the First Cantor to whom Estevar owed profuse apologies. Tyrant’s Throne Falcio has one chance to restore the rule of law in Tristia, but will can pay the price? And just for a moment, Azriel let her annihilate him, body and soul - as that devotion crept through every crevice of his dark, twisted mind and kissed the most filthy, vile parts of it as if it were divine. Her love was as sharp as a dagger, piercing through the harsh flesh and bone of his ribcage and severing his heart from the confines of his chest. His love was a song, laced with both the insatiable depths of hel's wrath and the euphoric harmony of heaven's gates. Maybe they were not the heroes with kind hearts and noble causes they desperately wanted to be. Maybe they were always going to be broken. But somehow, that didn't matter, because in that moment, their scars glinted with the silver of stars and the bond hummed to a symphony deep to their bones. And that darkness they swallowed from each other's souls, tasted perfect on their tongues."

WOW QUÉ MARAVILLA!!! AJOFJWÑOGJAEOF PUEDO PONER MIL ESTRELLAS A UN LIBRO???? PUEDO BAJAR EL FIRMAMENTO ENTERO ?!?!??!?!? A Y U D A Please note this fic is intended for mature audiences and is rated explicit. Mature content and graphic scenes which might be disturbing to some (violence, references to rape, gore, sex) and so it is rated 18+ only. Time has passed, but my taste for the baroque age and for the creatures of the night has remained. Today, I am very happy to open the doors of my dark Versailles to you, forever frozen in the Shadows.The storm is not so deafening that you failed to hear me the first time,’ he replied, widening his stance and raising the blade of his rapier. ‘Now, stop where you are. Inclement weather and poor soil make for arduous grave-digging, and I have more pressing business at the abbey.’ This story is a tribute to Versailles, where I grew up. After the last class of the day at the local high school, I used to escape to the gardens of the nearby palace. There, by the calm water of the Grand Canal, I spent many afternoons devouring those stories of gothic vampires that I loved so much (Bram Stoker, Sheridan Le Fanu, Théophile Gautier, Anne Rice...). La corte de las tinieblas nos presenta a una protagonista, cuyos padres son asesinados por actuar contra la corona y ella decide infiltrarse entre la nobleza francesa haciéndose pasar por una chica de clase alta. Su misión: llegar al centro de la corte para vengarse por lo que le hicieron a su familia. Enfin, je ne vous raconte pas les tours et les détours, les pièges et les pirouettes de son périple. Au moins, on ne s'ennuie pas. Le roman se lit d'une traite, tant c'est palpitant ! Il y a pas mal d'imprévus et de rebondissements, mais l'intrigue aurait encore pu prendre du galon en osant aller plus loin sur certains points.

Shadow Fae Series by C.N. Crawford - Goodreads

Estevar’s fever-addled brain rebelled against him, alerting him instead to the flush in his cheeks and the burning ache in his side. What business did he have setting foot upon the ill-fated isle at the end of that storm-drenched causeway armed with nothing but a rapier, his arrogance and a cantankerous mule? Ho visto le recensioni entusiaste di lettori francesi e quelle più tiepide nostrane, per cui mi chiedo se non ci possa essere stato l'inghippo di una traduzione non proprio riuscita.

PDF / EPUB File Name: The_Court_of_Shadows_-_Victor_Dixen.pdf, The_Court_of_Shadows_-_Victor_Dixen.epub The Abbey of Isola Sombra is less than half a mile across the causeway,’ Estevar observed. ‘The monks are known for their gracious hospitality to all who arrive at their gates. Why await me here? Unless it was to prevent me from reaching them myself?’ Tiene escenas CRUENTAS pero eso es lo que más he disfrutado, cómo me ha calado, he sufrido lo mismo que la protagonista, sus pesares, angustias y tristezas. Y además esta protagonista es estupenda os lo prometo, qué buena evolución. La vemos desenvolverse en un mundo que no es el suyo como lo haríamos todos: MAL, pero mejora!! Y vaya si mejora... o eso o la muerte!

Court of Shadows: A Demons of Fire and Night Novel: Institute

Volveré a lo que dije al inicio. En teoría las cosas que pasaron no me parecieron del todo absurdas o ridículas, es un libro juvenil y se nota. Por más que sea sangriento y "cruel", sigue siendo un libro juvenil con todas sus reglas. Así que muchas cosas sin sentido se las dejé pasar. No obstante, mi principal problema estuvo en el hecho de que muchas conversaciones se sentían ridículas, como niños disfrazados en una obra. Todo se sentía falso, por lo que jamás llegué a sentirme ni un poco inmersa en el libro, era como ver una obra de teatro. Ahora, es cierto que transcurre en una corte francesa estilo siglo XVIII, así que en sí todo es exagerado y llamativo, le concedo eso. Por ese motivo creo que puede ser un tema de traducción que hizo que me chocara la forma en que los personajes hablaban o el cómo las escenas estaban siendo narradas. A threat?’ he demanded, crushing the parchment in his fist as the rain poured down even harder, the thunder in the sky above punctuating his outburst. ‘Your precious margrave would seek to intimidate a Greatcoat into abandoning his lawful mission? Does he so fear what the Abbot of Isola Sombra might reveal to me of his activities that he’d stoop to—?’ Seductive, thrilling, and deliciously dark, The Court of Shadows brings the glamour and danger of eighteenth-century Versailles to life. This is historical fantasy at its finest!" - Kass MorganPOC character (Japanese, to be more precise) that is only here to explain gratuitously the world building to homegirl while she could have had her own plot points and characterization! Such a missed opportunity!
