OK,
let's talk about the first volume of the LUX series, OBSIDIAN by Jennifer L.
Armentrout.
At first I was a little disappointed, it was a
complete and absolute flashback to Twilight, so similar it was downright weird.
After the first 5 chapters I began to change my mind, and by the end of the
book I was convinced that the two have nothing in common.
First let's talk about characters.
Katy is
a character who grows beneath the reader's eyes, leaving behind the introverted
teenager image. With a strong personality and an absolute stubbornness appears
as an unstoppable force, all you can do is join her, defeat is not an option
for her, makes me think of the saying "If you can't beat them, join
them". She is a gorgeous girl but she does not know her true
potential, which makes her even more appealing. Independent and in possession
of her life, she is a female character that you love to see growing.
Daemon is
.... as Katy says about a character in the books she reads, he is my new book boyfriend.
We meet him shirtless and of course he's sexy and perfect in every way, just as
stubborn as Katy, he never says sorry, is aware of his physical appearance and
the effect he has on women, is very protective of all those he loves, and of
course he has green eyes. The only thing I do not like at this character (and
this is what the feminist in me says) is that he wants to control everything
around him including Katy. Still have to be objective and admit that this
feature in combination with all the other features makes him extremely sexy.
I'm not saying that the other characters are not
important but I do not feel the need to say something about them. For me the
story of the two (Katy and Daemon) has been the focal point of this volume.
It all begins when Katy moves to West Virginia with
her mother for a new beginning away from the painful memories of her father's
death.
Things get really interesting when the young girl gets
acquainted with the next door neighbors, brother and sister, twins and
extraordinarily attractive.
Dee is cheerful and friendly, full of life and
ardently wishes to know and to be friends with her new neighbor.
Daemon on the other hand is arrogant, full of himself
and especially extremely rude. Unlike his sister he does not want to have
anything to do with their new neighbor and tries to push her away from his
sister.
I will not go into more detail because I do not want
to spoil the surprise, for more you will have to read the book, what I can say
is that Jennifer L. Armentrout offers an adventure worth following and a
reading that you can not let out of your hand.
I highly recommend this book and I hope you enjoy it
as much as I did.
La inceput am fost putin
dezamagita, aveam un complet si absolut flashback la Twilight, atat de
asemanator incat era de-a dreptul ciudat. Dupa primele 5 capitole am inceput sa
imi schimb parerea, iar pe la sfarsitul cartii am fost convinsa ca cele doua nu
au nimic in comun.
Intai sa vorbim despre
personaje.
Katy este un personaj care creste sub ochii cititorului, lasand in urma imaginea
de adolescenta introvertita. Cu o personalitate puternica si o incapatanare
absoluta apare ca o forta de neoprit, tot ce poti sa face este sa i te alaturi,
infrangerea nu este o obtiune pentru ea, ma face sa-mi amintesc de zicala
"Daca nu-i poti invinge alaturate lor". Este o fata superba care insa
nu isi cunoaste adevaratul potential, ceea ce o face si mai atragatoare.
Independenta si stapana pe viata ei, este un personaj feminin pe care iti face
placere sa il vezi crescand.
Daemon este .... asa cu spune Katy
despre unul din personajele cartilor pe care ea le citeste, este noul meu iubit
din carti. Facem cunostinta cu el la bustul gol si binenteles ca e sexy si
perfect in toate privintele, la fel de incapatanat ca si Katy, nu isi cere
niciodata scuze, este constient de aspectul lui fizic si de efectul pe care il
are asupra persoanelor de sex feminin, este foate protectiv cu toti cei pe care
ii iubeste si binenteles are ochii verzi. Singurul lucru ce nu imi place la
acest personaj (si asta o spune feminista din mine) este ca doreste sa
controleze totul in jurul lui inclusiv pe Katy. Trebuie sa fiu obiectiva inca
si sa recunosc ca aceasta caracteristica in combinatie cu toate celelalte il
face extrem de sexy.
Nu spun ca celelalte personaje nu
sunt importante insa nu simt nevoia sa adaug ceva despre ele. Pentru mine
povestea celor doi (Katy si Daemon) a reprezentat punctul de focalizare a
acestui volum.
Totul incepe cand Katy se muta in
Virginia de Vest inpreuna cu mama ei pentru un nou inceput departe de
amintirile dureroase al mortii tatalui ei.
Lucrurile devin cu adevarat
interesante cand tanara isi cunoaste vecinii de peste drum, frate si sora,
gemeni si extraordinari de atragatori.
Dee este vesela si prietenoasa,
plina de viata si doreste cu ardoare sa isi cunoasca si sa se imprieteneasca cu
noua ei vecina.
Daemon pe de alta parte este
arogant, plin de el si mai ales extrem de nepoliticos. Spre deosebire de sora
lui acesta nu vrea sa aiba nimic de-a face cu noua lor vecina si incearca sa o
tina departe de aceasta si pe sora lui.
Nu voi intra in mai multe detalii
pentru ca nu vreau sa va stric surpriza, pentru mai mult va trebui sa cititi
cartea, ce pot sa spun este ca Jennifer L. Armentrout ofera o aventura
demna de urmarit si o lectura pe care nu poti sa o lasi din mana.
Va recomand cu caldura aceasta
carte si sper sa va placa la fel de mult ca si mie.
