Seasons of the Storm audiobook

I love the premise of this book and it definitely lived up to my expectations! Seasons of the Storm is a modern-day urban fantasy-esque story in which characters are the embodiments of the four seasons and must kill the Season that comes before them, every year, in order for their season to officially begin and continue the cycle. When Jack Sommers lays dying he’s given a choice. Choose death or choose to become a Winter and live a life of semi-immortality. Jack has been a Winter for over thirty years now but he’s begun to question the life he’s chosen to lead. And the crux of that questioning is bottled within his growing feelings for Fleur, the Spring that’s destined to kill him every year.Jack and Fleur are joined by a full cast, including Julio (a Summer) and Amber (an Autumn) who also harbor feelings for each other. As I was reading this, I got some strong squad good vibes and I really enjoyed the dynamic between all of the characters.The various Seasons have taken on their task as young adults on the cusp of their mortal death, but most characters in this book have been alive for decades past the age they physically appear. While this is a young adult novel, I questioned this at times, especially as some of the characters acted almost too much like teenagers, given the time they’ve been alive for. But, like I said, being that it is a young adult novel, I didn’t mind it so much as I questioned how realistic those personifications we.The heart of this plot lies in the character’s choices and whether they’re willing to continue hunting each other down, even while it eats away at their conscience and muddles the relationships they’ve built.I love the concept of this book. I love that it has a fast-moving plot that takes us through multiple settings and geographic locations. I love that there are so many great characters to connect with and root for and that the friendships are solid and the romance fulfilling.This novel does have an ending that is tied up nicely and makes it feel like a standalone, but there is a sequel coming now too, so I look forward to seeing what is next!

I've read a lot of non-flattering reviews about this book, but you know what? This is the perfect example of a fantasy YA: challenges, growth, love, loss, mystic elements, and friendship. The latter in particular made me enjoy the story even more than I expected. Most of the time is all about love and, sorry to say that, in the end, someone always dies. What starts as friendship basically always ends up in love, and even if I fancy that I'm happy for once love is not the main topic. From how I see it, love is what pushed the characters to do something but it's friendship the thing that made them stay together. During the story, they get to know each other and decide to help each other no matter what. It's a pure and beautiful feeling, even more than a cheap love story.If I didn't come here for that, so why I'm here? Well, we're talking about teenagers who become seasons after they die. It's not just an amazing idea, it's also so fresh than other stories. The flaw is the poor execution of it. Personally, I would have written whole chapters differently: there's the need for more movement - especially when there is a fight - and the ending should be more specific. There’s nothing wrong with it if you like the kinda-happily-ever-after ending, but it isn't a closed ending nor an open one. This bothers me so much because it can be a single book or there could be more of this - in fact, the author already published another book connected to it. My dilemma is that if I read it as a single book, I don't really like the ending because I just can believe all of that ends in this way; but if this is the first book of a duology, then the ending is just wrong because it's too closed and it doesn't let space for more. Besides this, I’d like to congratulate the author on this idea because now I can't stop looking outside the window and thinking stuff like “Autumn is probably hiding, its season is almost over” or “why can't Winter makes snowing here too” or also “it's raining, someone is not happy”, and I think is brilliant.↠ 4 stars

I was so excited to read this book because the concept sounded so interesting and I’m happy to say that my excitement was well-placed! I loved that it was a loose Jack Frost retelling with such an original twist.Seasons of the Storm is about teens who embody the magic and powers of one of the four seasons, and who must hunt and kill the season before theirs in order for their own season to take over to continue the cycle. This follows four seasons in particular, Fleur 🌷, Jack❄️, Amber🍁 and Julio☀️. It has forbidden love, an incredible elemental magic system, and a power struggle against a corrupt authority with an unexpected twist. The beginning is a little on the slower side but learning the background and basis of the story was still intriguing.This story had a lot of adventure and the many precarious situations the characters found themselves in made the book impossible to put down. Some parts reminded me a little of The Hunger Games in the best way. There were alliances being formed, strategizing and hunting, and teenagers fighting against deceitful people in power. Obviously I loved THG trilogy so I really liked those aspects about this book. I liked the dual perspective of Jack and Fleur but I kind of wish we got multi-POV from Julio and Amber too so we could see things unfold from all sides. The romance was a big driver of the plot but I didn’t feel like it overwhelmed the story at all. I really enjoyed the couples in this book, it was sweet and I was definitely rooting for all of them. I think the ending wrapped up pretty nicely so I’m interested to see where things go in the sequel!(I could totally see this being a movie or show and I’d like to fancast Chase Stokes aka John B from Outer Banks as Julio thank you)

Un urban-fantay YA un pò sui generis, che mischia magia e tecnologia. Suo punto di forza è senza dubbio il non utilizzare le solite tipologie di personaggi (niente vamiri, licantropi, streghe, maghi, nephilim...), questo dà una ventata di novità, punto debole invece sono certi clichè nella trama (lui ama lei, lei ama lui, hanno il mondo contro...). Tutto sommato, promosso.***A somewhat sui generis YA urban fantasy, which mixes magic and technology. His strength is undoubtedly not using the usual types of characters (no vampires, werewolves, witches, wizards, nephilim...), this gives a breath of fresh air, while the weak points are certain clichés in the plot (he loves her , she loves him, they have the world against them...). All in all, promoted.

Title: Seasons of the StormSeries: Seasons of the Storm #1Author: Elle CosimanoRelease date: June 23, 2020Cliffhanger: NoGenre: YA fantasy “In the midst of chaos, there is also opportunity. A perfect storm lies ahead. You can let it destroy you, or you can take control of it. How the story ends is up to you.”Seasons of the Storm was a phenomenal teen fantasy loaded with originality. At this point I've read quite a lot of this genre, and yet this story still managed to feel refreshingly new and engaging. It has forbidden love, rebellion against corrupt supernaturals in power, and an elemental magic system with humans who are the embodiments of seasons. It's all pretty heady and engrossing stuff. Jack and Fleur are the main characters in the forefront and we alternate between their POVs, but there is a full cast of "seasons" and "handlers" who eventually join forces to fight for their freedom. You also have the guards who are assigned to keeping order among the other two groups. They can manipulate elemental magic as well, but are generally more powerful in order to be able to maintain order through fear. Jack Sommers was a rebel in his human life, and that hasn't changed since he's become an eternal winter. He's the type to break the rules, test boundaries, and question everything. Once you accept Gaia's offer though, you have to live by her rules or you're terminated. Gaia and Chronos give life and power after death, but they can take it away at the smallest infraction. In this world, you're given only three choices: Whether you want to live, Who your handler is, and your new identity. The seasons' handlers are humans brought back to life who are immortal inside the Conservatory where they live. They guide their assigned season with their yearly assassinations. Their fates are tied together-if a season fails to do their job properly, it reflects on both of them. When you choose your new name, it must relate to the season you're given. As a winter, Jack's last name of Sommers was a red flag right from the start that he wasn't ready to blend in and keep his head down. At the start of the book you learn that Jack and Fleur are supposed to be enemies. In order for Spring to follow Winter, she must kill him every year and send him back to the Observatory in a state of stasis. The entire process is always monitored through video and audio, and any irregularities or failure to comply with the murder in a timely way will eventually lead to true death. They are all told that it's a necessary evil in order to keep the world and seasons in balance. But what if they've been lied to for centuries? Jack isn't so sure that the regimented life they live is all there is. He's hungry to find out if he could ever have an existence where he has choices and freedoms again. The seasons have continued to do what they're asked because they've been told that they need their stasis chambers and the ley lines to "recharge" themselves in order to reanimate. If they are not hooked into the system created for them, they're as good as dead anyway, so why bother to dream? An unplanned incident during one of Fleur's killings leads him to start investigating what he thinks are wild ideas at first. What if the entire notion of a rechargeable battery came from the potential chemical energy stored in every Season’s magic, because we were capable of recharging ourselves?The last thing Jack would call himself would be a leader or a hero. But once he sets the ball in motion the impact is bigger than he could have ever anticipated. He's not just putting his own neck on the line, it's his handler Chill, Fleur, Poppy, Amber, Woody, Julio, and Marie who must all fight to stay alive together on the run. Jack has an unexpected ally in a position of power who gives him glimpses of hope. Professor Lyon shows where his loyalties lie on different occasions by covering up Jack's indiscretions or even aiding him when he's in trouble. He is the only one who isn't afraid of revealing information that would otherwise be forbidden. Knowledge is power, and the key to everything. While he can't come right out and tell Jack things, he gives him the breadcrumbs to lead him to the destination point. This brings up my one niggle about the story. My one complaint would be the communication issue between Jack and the rest of the group, especially Fleur. Jack is given warnings frequently throughout the book, but for some unknown reason he conceals a lot from the others. Keeping things to himself prevents them from making decisions in an informed way. Honestly I didn't quite understand why he would even want to keep silent. During their time together the importance of them working as a team and communicating is more and more important the deeper they go. And yet he either doesn't tell them right away, or he hides things from Fleur and hopes that she will figure out what she has to do when the time comes. It didn't bother me that much, but plot wise I didn't see why he wouldn't be totally transparent since they're all on the same side. One thing I loved was that Fleur was wonderfully brave and much more powerful than she gave herself credit for. Maybe it was the fact that most others underestimated her abilities as well, but it took her some time to come to the realization that she was a true force to be reckoned with. At first, I thought that Amber's strong fighting skills put her at the top of the chain, but I was wrong. Each person had their own strengths and weaknesses, and Fleur's strength was her powerful ability to manipulate the earth. If you put all of their strengths together, they learned that they could not only protect themselves from what they feared the most, but they could inspire a full on revolution among the seasons. The romantic feelings between Jack and Fleur is already established from page one, which initially felt a little disappointing. But we do get to backtrack eventually and discover how they arrived at that point. She smells like wildflowers in moonlight, like forests of night blooms, and if I look at her again, I’m done. Game over.It was kind of crazy when you think about the fact that Jack was falling for the person perpetually killing him, but that unlikely pairing made it all the more interesting. Neither had blame or hate in their heart for the other, it was all about survival of the fittest in their world. Whomever conforms and plays the game the best will go the furthest. At some point, neither cares about furthering their status and position, they become more concerned about making things easier for each other. In addition to Fleur and Jack's romance behind the action, there are other connections as well which was nice. There was a lot of hidden machinations that are revealed, people getting moved like chess pieces in an unexpectedly long game. Loyalties and motivations are questioned, and Jack has to decide who he can trust. The last few chapters had me right on the edge of my seat, and I enjoyed every minute of it. The epilogue leaves you in a happy for now place, but unresolved in some aspects. I can see the solid potential for the next book, it's not going to just be filler pages for the characters. After being left where things are, there are surprising twists that I need to see played out. I will most definitely be continuing with the follow up whenever that may be. Let the sequel stalking commence. “I choose you,” I whisper against her hair. I’ll choose her, again and again, over everything else.FOLLOW SMOKIN HOT BOOK BLOG ON:

3.5/4 stellineLa mia recensione su https://www.leggereromanticamente.com...“Forse Jack ha ragione e non è vero che dobbiamo darci la caccia a vicenda. Forse quello che dobbiamo fare è trovarci a vicenda. Creare uno spazio gli uni per gli altri e darci a vicenda lo spazio per essere forti. Sostenerci a vicenda quando forti non siamo, e affrontare l’occasionale tempesta.”Ragazzi della Tempesta è un fantasy young adult particolare ed originale che mescola azione, magia e romanticismo.L’idea di base di questa storia mi ha attirato subito, di creature fantastiche, magiche e paranormal ne ho incontrate molte nel corso degli anni, ma di ragazzi-stagioni proprio no! I giovani protagonisti di questo romanzo erano dei comuni ragazzi, ognuno con una propria storia personale (che in parte scopriamo), salvati in punto di morte da Gaia dopo aver accettato di seguirla e vivere secondo le sue regole in cambio dell’immortalità.È così che questi ragazzi sono diventati stagioni, dotati di magia degli elementi, assegnati ad una zona precisa del mondo, ed ogni anno costretti a cacciarsi ed uccidersi per mantenere l’equilibrio che da sempre governa l’alternarsi del tempo.Ma non è finita qui, tra loro c’è anche una sorta di competizione, e il meccanismo costruito dall’autrice riguardante la “rigenerazione” delle stagioni una volta uccise aggiunge un pizzico di fantascienza alla storia. Quando non è la loro stagione, i ragazzi vivono tutti all’Osservatorio insieme ai loro supervisori, una specie di base-dormitorio dove le stagioni vengono rigorosamente tenute separate. A due stagioni diverse è infatti severamente vietato legare o toccarsi.Quando due stagioni diverse inizieranno a provare dei sentimenti l’uno per l’altra, e soprattutto quando qualcuno inizierà a farsi delle domande e mettere in discussione l’intero sistema di Chronos e Gaia, prenderà il via una specie di ribellione. Il romanzo è scritto in prima persona alternando il punto di vista di Jack e Fleur, un Inverno e una Primavera, i due protagonisti principali della storia. Assegnati alla stessa zona, Fleur è costretta da anni ad inseguire ed uccidere Jack nel periodo di passaggio tra Inverno e Primavera, i due si vedono solo per quei pochi giorni di transizione, ma quel poco tempo insieme è bastato a far sbocciare dei sentimenti tra loro. Jack è un personaggio intelligente, si pone molte domande ed è il ribelle della situazione.Fleur potrebbe inizialmente sembrare la dolce e gentile damigella da salvare, ma non è così, è più coraggiosa e forte di quanto si potrebbe immaginare.Oltre a loro due hanno un ruolo significativo nella trama anche Julio e Amber, un Estate e una Autunno. Sinceramente mi sarebbe piaciuto leggere qualche capitolo anche dai loro punti di vista, sono due personaggi interessanti ma poco approfonditi, molti sviluppi che li riguardano ho potuto soltanto immaginarli, peccato! Nella trama non mancano piani di fuga, sotterfugi, rivelazioni, situazioni pericolose e personaggi ambigui e manipolatori. I protagonisti dovranno imparare a far fronte comune, ad agire come una squadra unendo le forze per ottenere quella libertà che tanto desiderano e sopravvivere ai loro inseguitori. Non avendo mai letto questa autrice non sapevo cosa aspettarmi, ho trovato la penna della Cosimano in generale scorrevole e semplice, ma ci sono stati alcuni capitoli più avvincenti di altri. La prima parte è un po’ più piatta, ma dal piano di fuga in poi la situazione si fa più avventurosa ed entusiasmante. È da quel momento in poi che i personaggi devono seriamente affrontare i rispettivi sentimenti, imparare a conoscersi davvero, fidarsi l’uno dell’altro e diventare amici ed alleati. Nel complesso direi che la storia mi è abbastanza piaciuta, anche se un po’ strana e probabilmente non per tutti. Se volete sperimentare un fantasy fuori dalle righe che mischia azione, magia degli elementi, un pizzico di mitologia e sentimenti potrebbe piacervi. Inoltre, nonostante Ragazzi della Tempesta sia il primo volume di una serie, non lascia in sospeso con uno di quegli odiosi cliffhanger. Chiude un cerchio, anche in maniera abbastanza felice, lasciando alcune questioni in sospeso per il futuro.Punto di vista: prima persona alternato di JAck e FleurSensualità: qualche bacio, il resto lasciato all'immaginazioneCaratteristiche: fantasy con azione, magia e romanticismoStile narrativo: scorrevole e sempliceTipo di finale: aperto ma senza cliffhangerVoto: 3.5/4 stelline

Pas un coup de cœur mais une très bonne lecture ! J'ai adoré cette humanisation des saisons et leurs aventures, leur désir de se libérer. Je me demande ce que donnera une suite franchement parce que pour moi les choses auraient très bien pu finir comme ça 😮

*cries* update to come

** spoiler alert ** Arc provided by the publisher in exchange for and honest review.I was instantly intrigued when I read the synopsis for this book and it did not disappoint. I mean, Seasons killing seasons with survival and enemies to lovers? Sign me up! It was super enjoyable and overall an entertaining story. There were some funny parts that had me laughing with the characters, and also some heartbreaking moments that had me crying alongside the characters. The premise of seasons killing season is both intense and unique and I thought that the author executed the story in a great way. You can’t help but love the four main seasons - Jack, Fleur, Julio, and Amber - along with their Handlers. Each character has a well thought out backstory that fits with their character arcs. I loved Jack and Fleur the best, but Amber and Julio’s banter was quite entertaining. Jack and Fleur just have that amazing star-crossed lover relationship that works within the rest of the plot. The story stayed consistent which is good and I loved how the characters changed in a realistic way. There were little elements thrown in that I loved, like Slinky the cat, and the glimpses into how the MC’s became seasons. I loved the survival aspect of the novel, I think it fit really well into the story. Overall this book amazing and I will definitely be picking up a finished copy as soon as possible. Rating: 4.5 / 5

I'm torn between 3 and 4 stars.4 stars because I loved the story and the characters and the whole idea. 3 stars because I felt the writing was basic and the story wasn't fully explored, I felt like we had just skimmed the surface and the author didn't go deep enough.I'm going to go with 4 stars because I think the idea and the story outweigh the basic and the lack of depth in the writing.4 ( just about) stars from me 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟

Okay but this was so fun... Like it's not the best written plot ever and yeah it could be a little bit predictable in some parts but I still had an amazing time reading it. I loved the characters and their friendship, I was happy this book was more about them and their journey to Find and trust each other than anything else. I couldn't stop reading it. Not gonna lie... The ending was a little bit of a dissapointed but only for 1 specific thing. But that thing is the connection to book 2 so I understand why the choice was made. Can't wait to read the next one when I want a fun easy time.

Seasons of the Storm is the first book in a new fantasy duology. It's kind of like Hunger Games meets the folklore of Jack Frost. Fighting, hunting, rebellions, breakouts, romance, teamwork and magical powers connected to nature and the weather combine to make an epic fantasy.Jack is the embodiment of winter, just one of hundreds of seasons who have been saved from death and given a second life. There are strict rules a season must follow and the only interaction one season has with other seasons is to hunt and kill the season that comes before them and be hunted and be killed by the season that comes after them. But Jack is falling for Fleur, the spring whose job it is to kill him each year, and her reciprocated feelings are causing her to plummet on the rankings board and risk termination. For a chance to be together, Jack and Fleur have to decide if it is worth risking everything to challenge the system, break the cycle and try and find another way to survive.This book is set on Earth in a very real and recognisable world. The only difference is that seasons, embodiments of the four seasons, walk among us and control the passing and changing of the seasons with their magic. What the seasons do during their season isn’t really explored all that much. The focus is on the times of change over, when Spring comes to kill Winter, and the time spend in stasis and recharging to go back out into the world again. We also have Chronos and Gaia as Father Time and Mother Earth who are father and daughter. Together with Chronos’ guard, they control the seasons, turning the days spent above ground into a sort of game, with rankings, a score board and a system where those who fall below the red line are culled. Aside from a short prologue that outlines Jack’s initial death and transformation into a season, the book plunges readers into the middle of Jack and Fleur’s growing connection and situation. Jack fears death, Fleur is compassionate. Gradually, over a time we readers do not get to see, the hunt between them goes on longer, damaging Fleur’s stats, while taking Jack to the top of the leaderboard. But Jack hates the cycle of hunting, killing and segregation. All seasons have a handler, a “person in the chair” if you will, someone who tracks them, sees everything through video footage, helps them plan each hunt and monitors them remotely. When Jack starts to conceive of the plan to escape Chronos’ rules and control, he must also get his handler to agree. Jack also has to recruit a cycle of seasons, including Fleur as well as a summer and an autumn and their handlers.I found Seasons of the Storm a bit confusing at the start. The action and story start straight away and we readers must catch up to understand how the system works and what is at stake. It makes for exciting reading and once I had my head around the details, I found I was completely engaged in the story, the characters and the action. What starts as a simple breakout turns into a full-on rebellion. The story is slightly reminisced of the Hunger Games and readers who don’t usually enjoy fantasy and prefer action or dystopian fiction are likely to enjoy this book. There is some cool control of the elements and some epic fight scenes. While this is the first book in a planned duology, I’m not sure how a second book will fit in the story. The story is fairly complete and some readers may be happy to leave Jack and Fleur with the ending they achieve. There is just one thread left open, and it will be interesting to see if or how the author plans to explore this in book 2. Seasons of the Storm is an exiting fantasy novel that is as unique as it is exciting.The publishers provided an advanced readers copy of this book for reviewing purposes.

4.5 stelline Fin dalle prime pagine ho capito che sarebbe stata una storia intensa e avrebbe calamitato i miei "sensori emotivi". Complimenti all'autrice perché non era facile intrecciare una storia del genere e non cadere nell'imperfezione parlando di miti come quello dei figli di Cronos, di Gaia e delle stagioni. Chiaramente l'attenzione del lettore si fissa immediatamente sul protagonista indiscusso, soprattutto a livello emotivo: Jake Sommers, immortale giovane inverno che terrà avvinti alle pagine attraverso le sue umane emozioni, quelle che non muoiono neanche quando si ha a che fare con la magia. In questo romanzo per ragazzi, dalle sfumature magico-romantiche, assisteremo a un grande cambiamento, una ribellione alle leggi che finora avevano regolato lo scenario e rispettato il millenario equilibrio. Il tempo, la Terra e le stagioni sono tenuti insieme da rigide regole all'interno di un istituto chiamato Osservatorio, ognuno compie il suo dovere di stagione in un loop che dura da secoli e quando giunge il momento viene annientata dalla sucessiva. Fino a quando qualcosa cambia, un sottile vento aleggia per i corridoi dell'Osservatorio, e una stagione comincia a porsi qualche domanda. Una piccola, sottile crepa in un sistema praticamente perfetto, un dubbio che si insinua quando un sentimento inatteso fiorisce tra due stagioni che si annientano da anni e a cui è proibito uscire dagli schemi che Cronos ha imposto molto tempo prima che divenissero stagioni. Secondo le leggi del tempo, il destino è già scritto e quello di Jack Sommers non fa differenza, e quando l'inverno comincia a dimostrare preoccupanti segnali di ribellione Cronos corre ai ripari svelandogli il suo futuro. Questo non fermerà Jack e la sua voglia di sapere se davvero non si può cambiare le regole, spinto dal forte e profondo sentimento che lo lega a un'altra stagione. Jack, Fleur, Amber e Julio hanno deciso di sovvertire le leggi che governano il mondo naturale, sapendo che questo avrà un prezzo. Vale la pena vivere senza sapere se c'è un'altro mondo possibile, che contempli il succedersi delle stagioni senza che una annienti l'altra?Il senso di appartenenza a una squadra, alla cosa più vicina a una famiglia che i personaggi abbiano mai avuto, ci insegna che l'unione fa la forza, che per sovvertire certi schemi vecchi e superati è necessario credere prima in se stessi e poi nella propria squadra, fidarsi l'uno dell'altro anche quando serpeggia la diffidenza e certe decisioni sembrano più grandi di noi. Quello che mi ha conquistato di questo romanzo è il personaggio di Jack, la sua insicurezza ed emotività che, nonostante la magia e l'immortalità, lo rendono umano e imperfetto. Le sue paure, i ricordi dolorosi che lo tengono prigioniero del passato, e i sentimenti potenti che lo spingono a lottare per gli altri prima che per se stesso. Il sacrificio in nome dell'amore è l'arma più potente al mondo, quella che sconfigge il tempo e l'ordine delle cose, in una ribellione che ha il potere di cambiare le cose, se noi ci crediamo veramente. Un profondo messaggio sulla fiducia in se stessi anche quando nessuno crederà in noi, e la forza di un sentimento in grado di cambiarci nel profondo attingendo alla parte più umana e potente della nostra anima.

4.5⭐.Ho scoperto ieri che questa storia ha un sequel e che uscirà in Italia a giugno di quest'anno. I personaggi principali sono 4 ragazzi (le quattro stagioni) e i loro Supervisori.Il personaggio che mi è piaciuto di più è Jack, perché è colui che ha dato inizio a tutta la vicenda, decidendo di liberarsi del destino che altri hanno deciso per lui. Il finale è stato del tutto inaspettato. C'è stato un colpo di scena che mai mi sarei aspettata e che mi ha fatto apprezzare Jack ancora di più.Fleur è quella che avevo sottovalutato di più, perché la scrittrice ce la presenta come una ragazzina delicata, che odia il suo compito più degli altri, ma ha avuto un percorso di crescita pazzesco durante la storia. Julio e Amber sono meno rilevanti di Jack e Fleur, ma hanno contribuito a rendere l'atmosfera più leggera a volte, con i loro battibecchi. Il personaggio del professor Lyon non sono riuscita a comprenderlo per gran parte del tempo. L'ho visualizzato con chiarezza solo alla fine.In conclusione, mi è piaciuto molto questo libro, nonostante non sia la storia migliore del mondo. Se cercate un libro pieno d'azione, magia e amore, fa per voi. Sono curiosa di leggere il sequel.

Quando la storia è iniziata, ammetto di essermi sentita confusa. Mi trovavo immersa in un mondo completamente nuovo, senza linee guida chiare che mi permettessero di capire la base della storia. Quando la vicenda ha ingranato però, ho capito che era valsa la pena dare fiducia al libro e continuare a leggere.Un fantasy per certi versi nuovo, perché mi ha aperto gli occhi all’avvicendarsi delle stagioni ed ai cambiamenti climatici: mi ha fatto sognare ad occhi aperti che quello che stavo leggendo in questo libro potesse esistere anche nella realtà (lasciatemi sognare la magia).Ho fatto le 2 di notte per finirlo, direi che 5 stelle se le è meritate. Buonanotte!
