Enel summer of his senior year, HazelHawthorne seve forced by adverse family circumstances (her father haabandonado her and her mother) to move to Umberfield , a remote village, lost in the middle of nowhere that neither siquieratiene mobile coverage. Estranged from her boyfriend Bob YSU best friend Virginia , suddenly finds himself in a place where there seems to be ningúntipo of fun for a teenager. Angry with his mother and withthe world in general, feel that summer is going to be more aburridode his life, but is terribly wrong.
Cuandolas two are installed in the old family house, an old section of town caserónalgo, Hazel will be found living in two worlds noon. In the neglected garden, a mysterious black flower clock nocturnode you will spend the OtroLado yvisitar the Feerie , where he meets an enigmatic young serious face masked, Aster , which will feel irresistibly drawn, though alprincipio believe everything is just a vivid dream. But as esinevitable, things have to be complicated and the fate of all humankind 'could be in danger because of the actions undertaken quedebe Hazel.
Elacierto of Rhei Sparta the use of all the topics of this youth génerofantástico so fashionable today unaobra It is followed with a twist. Start one might think that not too original haynes, from problemasfamiliares teen is dragged away from everything familiar and veinmersa in a strange and desolate, a place where you should redo from scratch his life until he discovers that UNAH has special inheritance from his family lineage, which will open to new experiences pf fantastic apariciónde through the supernatural beings (We emphasize the ability of such hackneyed autoraal avoid vampires, werewolves or zombies paraofrecer a new mythology of hellebore , sugreles and Quicksilver , yet very related to the classical world of fairies and lanaturaleza), interspersed with the inevitable romance with boy elprototipo attractive and mysterious, and finally washed up tothe inevitable and frantic mission to save her only puedellevar out.
Laoriginalidad then the novel lies in the created world and of shaping laforma in the powerful imagery of the Other Side, conreminiscencias somewhat reminiscent the Gaiman of Stardust , showing a Feerie intriguing, attractive, fascinating and terribly dangerous unosseres inhabited by strange and wonderful increíblesmercancías vendors hawking magical willing, however, to carry out scams and lospeores commit the most cruel and evil felonies. Laautora shows a society of supernatural creatures, know about our own world split long ago, strictly divided Enrigue "caste" and full of obligatoriocumplimiento strict rules under the threat of failure porsu most terrible consequences.
Laautora creates a whole new mythology for the occasion, muyemparentada, however, with all the natural world and Faerie (comodeja well clear the name of "market" is Hazel alcruzar the other side: the féerie ), fairies and talking animals, humanoid beings embargoestán no closer to the plants, a magical world ypeligroso equally fascinating. Highlights a palpable love by the nature, of the botanical world, which stained a nice ecologismoel fund the plot. The deep knowledge of flowers yplantas involved in the passage from one world to another gives gransensibilidad and realism to the story.
witha well-defined character and portrayed, and the world has to move well established, if Floresde Shadow something goes wrong is, without doubt, the characterization of personajessecundarios (especially Bob and Victoria, but also of "bad dela movie," Catleya ) That seem built just to meet a givenmoment a certain role, mismoconforme unexpectedly changing the narrative progresses, entering and disappearing from escenacomo bursty, short of acquiring a definite personality Masalles of what the narrator tells them directly, sindemostrarlo really for their actions. There are moments when quedanexcesivamente false and flat mere transmitters of emotional sinimplicación action for the reader. Ironically Rhei consiguecrear much more affinity for a garden or a sea urchin hurónparlante that humans, with the exception perhaps of ladicharachera Poppy.
Conseis poetry books published, the author boasts unaescritura careful and accurate, evocative on many occasions. A travésde a prose that at many times may well serdenominada "poetic" and trapping at an early stage by susencillez and clarity, the author manages to transmit all lossentimientos involved in the action and the fascination of this Mundomágico that opens the eyes of protagonist. If it is true chela plot is predictable in certain passages and the final wing called no surprise (indeed the surprise had been that had not sidoese, but cases have been), so is that the novel is unalectura very nice and fluid, equipped with a freshness queúltimamente was lacking in this genre. Conformeavanza the story gets also a perfect pass to race against elsentimiento which is immersed laprotagonista, nervousness caused by the impending disaster and eldeseo to protect and care for their loved ones. Unpubl predominantly aimed at youth and women, Floresde Shadow isa book that leaves a good taste mouth and also in this time of enealogías ydilatadas sagas, is autoconclusivos, with a closed end ysatisfactorio as befits a good fairy tale.
