About this deal

Further, the writing is unpolished, and by that I mean rough. And by rough, I mean ROUGH DRAFT rough. And by that I mean plenty of errors and entire passages that seemed like more of an outline than actual storytelling. Ben Horslen is thanked at the end for being Sally Green’s editor but he did a horrendous job. It seems like a middle schooler wrote it and a lazy teacher gave them a passing grade just for turning it in. I notice this trend more and more in traditionally published books that supposedly went through editors, but the quality and content of the work don’t seem to prove that any actual proofreading was done. I do have a favorite though. Solzhenitsyn. One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich. You read that one?”

This is basically the story of Harry Potter's Severus Snape, if Voldemort had been his daddy. He's also got a Lily to comfort him and some Marauders-wannabes beating him up. Nathan had one sister that hated him, but he had a great relationship with his other sister and his brother. They loved him for him and not for his half blood. His sweet grandmother loved him too. I'M HAVING A GIVEAWAY FOR ALL THREE BOOKS IN THE SERIES AND A TOTE BAG ON MY BLOG SO COME ON OVER AND ENTER!

Do you know a story that goes something like this >>>> There's a poor family consisting of a mother and her bunch of kids, each one from a different father. Then there's that one kid (or more) who had a dad who was known for causing trouble... maybe he drank a lot, got into fights, ended up in prison... you know the kid I'm talking about? The one who has that dad? Well, everyone expects he'll turn out just the same. Everyone has their eye on that kid his whole life, expecting him to become just like his father, watching for his first mistake. And it makes him angry that people constantly expect the worst of him. It makes him lash out and get into fights and become something of a delinquent. It makes him exactly what everyone expected him to be. And people nod their heads and say "See! I told you so". And no one will ever know if that kid was always his father's son or if the other people in his life made him that way.

PS I also happened to like Marcus, he was quite fascinating, and I wish we got to learn more about him personally in this book. He also said he had the ability to foresee how he died, and revealed he would not be killed by his own son that day. Nathan ends up with a woman the counsel set him up with when things didn't work out at his home and she puts him in a cage and makes him workout all of the time and work around the place. She does some beatings here and there, but I felt like she didn't hate him as much as she let on. She taught him self defense, martial arts and did some schooling with him. Then the jerks decide to come and take him away again and do some more beatings and mark him as a half blood. At Ready Steady Cut, Jonathon Wilston described the show as “as guaranteed a hit as the platform has had in some time.” Andrew Murray at The Upcoming argued that it had “the style, personality and ideas” to “avoid becoming another casualty of cancellation, as has been the case with so many other similar shows.” Like I said there's nothing wrong with that... for me I guess it was simply a matter of him becoming really boring all of a sudden. Where did my beloved character go? Sorry, Nathan.

Refreshing. Original. A tar-dark world full of magic and polarized along the lines of white and dark witches. The joke's the white witches aren't all that light. The love interest was mehhhhh. I was expecting a lot more from her but in the end I was so disappointed. TBH I think something shady is going on with her. (also I ship Nathan and Gabriel so she is just intruding here)

It’s not only bad for viewers; it’s ultimately bad for the streamers, as it makes failure a lot more likely. A new show can only get recommissioned if it gets good viewing figures, but why would viewers bother getting invested in something that may be cancelled with no satisfying resolution? I know I wouldn’t.The ending took me by surprise due to the reappearance from a certain character. I'm not sure how I feel about it, but I am eager to continue this series. Do I think it's the Next Big Thing? Who knows. But it's a damn good book. When he first ran into Marcus, Nathan seemed calm as his father told the story of how he met his mother. El libro tiene una temática muy original, y siento que deja un mensaje claro, todos tenemos un lado oscuro, nadie es completamente bueno ni completamente malo.
