About this deal

En cuanto a la lectura en sí, me ha gustado muchísimo y no bajo el ritmo en ningún momento respecto a los libros anteriores; es decir, siguió la misma línea. Considero que fue una gran trilogía; entretenida, llena de acción, intriga, romance, con traidores y aliados que aparecen en los momentos que menos te lo esperas. Das Cover gefällt mir von allen drei Bänden am besten, weil ich die Farben total harmonisch finde. Ich war sehr gespannt auf das Finale der Reihe, weil mich Band 1 und 2 restlos von sich begeistern konnten. I was a little torn, frayed around the edges, and it was going to be a long, bumpy road to being a hundred percent okay. And nothing was going to stop and wait for me to get there.’ And that’s what made this different, made this special, because I knew out there in the normal world, there were people who never made it past the first hurdle, who gave up the moment it got hard or required them to admit they’d been wrong. And our hurdles had been high. They were still there, the size of skyscrapers, looming over us like the shadow of winter when you’re desperately clinging to summer.’ En esta entrega, tenemos a una Ivy más independiente y decidida al momento de enfrentarse al príncipe de los faes y sus seguidores. Es un personaje que mantuvo la esencia del anterior libro, sinceramente sigue siendo demasiado divertido leer sus monólogos. Es un personaje que, como dije en mi reseña anterior, me encanta.

Main character Ivy Morgan is just 22 years of age. She attends college, but while she enjoys excelling in classes, she also is not a student just like everybody else. She knows that the French Quarter may be where a lot of tourists and locals go for fun and like to hang out, but it also is filled with tons of trouble. There also may be more than just humans that are trolling this area– for fun and also for food. Violent rage and bitter fear swirled like a storm inside me, feeding strength I didn’t realise I had.’ Every ounce of my being was dedicated to keeping my head above water, but with every passing minute, I drowned a little more.’ Si me piden alguna negativa, creo que no quedé muy conforme con el final, siento que pasó todo muy r��pido, me esperaba algo más, me faltó leer algún plot twist más potente, ¿me explico?, y es justamente por eso no eso no le pude poner 5 estrellas.Loved the books, sort of enjoyed the audiobooks (minus how Tink is done), and will watch the third just to see if anything improves... but won't hold my breath waiting for it to. The diagnosis of this means that it has particularly become important to the author to educate others. She is dedicating herself to trying to teach others about how blindness in all of its varying degrees can affect people and what type of quality of life can be achieved no matter what level you are experiencing. This is one of her passions along with writing. She says that she plans to be able to continue writing for a while and for as long as she is able to. The hate building inside me burned brighter than a thousand suns, but even with that rage, I always, always felt cold. With each passing day, it was like I was filling up on the inside with ice and shadows. The only time I didn’t feel this way was when I slept.

Tink por su parte, sigue siendo el que pone humor en los momentos más oportunos para desprendernos un poco de tanta tensión que lleva consigo la trama. Es un personaje que siempre da frescura en todo tipo de momentos. Sinceramente AMO a los personajes que son así. There is a lot going on here and there are a lot of different characters that even nearly three hours of film time couldn't quite give me a lowdown on all of them but I got the gist of things in what is a world of fantasy, betrayal and deceit. He puesto fin a una de mis sagas favoritas (aunque quiero leer las historias que han salido después, pero la historia de Ivy, Ren y Tink acaba aquí) y no sabéis lo triste que me pone esto. Y sin duda, son mis libros favoritos de la autora con mucha diferencia, y eso que amo cada libro que ha escrito y he leído de ella.A film had been rumoured to be in development ever since 2004, with everyone from Lady Gaga and Idina Menzel – who starred in the original production - rumoured to be cast. This whole entire time I’d been petrified that he’d die on me like everyone else had. Never once had it crossed my mind that I’d lose him because I would have to walk away.’ I am so pleased to say I loved this second film, it lived up to what I have come to expect from a passionflix offering and I can't wait to see the third book Brave brought to life with the same treatment! From the woes of a disgraceful friendship to the loyalties of a true one, Ivy is put through the ringer of ever-changing, and sharp-hitting emotion. She is a hardwired tangle of fragile and compulsive feelings, compounded by internal conflict and grabbed by the reins of overriding sentiments. Still recovering from a near death experience, and coping with the cutting infidelity of her best friend, hunting, and running, Ivy’s life only manifests further impediment with impossible secrets, disturbing tension, and hidden histories. Ivy wants to fall in love, but doubts that her duties will let her. Will the past influence her present? With secrets between Ren and Ivy, she worries as they grow closer that she may have more to suspect about him than she thinks. Now her heart is starting to become more than just her own.

Ahora, quiero terminar diciendo lo que me habría gustado encontrar en Brave, razones por las que no tiene las 5 estrellas:Annnd... there was new material introduced! In true JLA fashion, I scent a spinoff in the future. A spinoff that I am excited about because the Prince (who still has no name) is just mmm-mmm fine. Fiiiiine. Overall, Brave is all in good fun and a good ending to a wonderful series. He revealed this was to allow them to tell the full story without having to leave some characters on the cutting room floor. De verdad, ¿qué hacía yo con mi vida antes de empezar esta saga? ¡Todo ha sido tan sorprendente que flipo! So, I'm a bit torn over this book (pun intended) because although I did enjoy it (it's JLA, so come on like) and there were loads of things I loved about it (Ren and Tink anyone?) there were a few niggly issues which stopped me engaging in my usual gush-fest; things that prevented me from rating this a five-star read. Ivy and Ren... *sigh*. Hashtag couple goals! Ren is amazing and the way he loves Ivy is even better. I didn't want this book to ever end. I will be holding out for any and all spin offs that come from this series! And if you haven't started this series yet because you were waiting for it to be done......... well it's done so you have no excuse and should be reading book 1 right now instead of my review! I mean it!

Personalmente, creo que cualquier lectura de Jennifer L. Armentrout que elijas es un acierto seguro, es una autora que siempre consigue atraparte con lo que escribe, que siempre crea novelas amenas y entretenidas y lo mejor de todo es que es una escritora muy versatil, se atreve con cualquier genero y en todos consigue encantarme. The Ivy and Rens relationship is exciting to read. Finally two characters who have real chemistry! You can cut the tension between them with a knife. Since Ivy is in a bad emotional state, there is of course drama between the two, which I always love to read. Con el respecto al final del libro me resultó muchísimo más "light" en comparación con la entrega anterior, pero me dejo lo suficientemente intrigada como para leer la tercera y última parte de esta trilogía. Relectura! La verdad es que me cuesta despedirme de esta saga y de sus increíbles personajes. Al menos, ahora que me regalaron este, puedo releer mis partes favoritas cuando quiera.Tiene mucho romance, más atrevido también que el romance que aparece en los demás libros de fantasía de Armentrout (de hecho, toda la saga es así), pero también se centra en los hechos y en lo que va a suceder, ahora que el mundo está en las puertas del apocalipsis. Por ridículo que parezca, quería una referencia a la película Brave, que no aparece en ninguna parte (sólo en el primer libro de la saga).
