Midwinterblood

Product Information

There was nothing about school/education, family, identity, friendship, first relationships, the future etc. And I get that, this was extremely weird and the kind of book that makes very little sense until the end. Beginning in 2073 on the island of Blessed, it moves back in time, with an epilogue connecting back to the book’s start.

It's been a while since I felt so completely swept away and consumed by a story, and here, Sedgewick is at his best. My favorite ones are "The Painter"(1902), "The Unquiet Grave" (1848), and "The Vampire" (10th Century), many of which are violent, pensive, and sad.Instead in most of their other lives there love was either weird, non-existent or meh, which made their love story even more unconvincing and daft. I heard of this from a friend of mine (Ming I'm looking at you) and I had honestly never heard of Marcus Sedgwick. If you're the type of reader who prefers goth over gore, mood over mayhem, or disquiet over digust, this is exactly the kind of horror story that will appeal to you--one that is odd and beautifully strange, and one written with passion, but also with great restraint. Já vi isso acontecer de forma fantástica em "O Vilarejo", mas aqui parece que faltou impacto e tudo acabou sendo meio ambíguo.

Please, if you're tired of the same old stories being told over and over again, read Midwinterblood, or any Marcus Sedgwick book you can get your hands on. Here's some subjectivity for you (if you think everything until this point was subjective, too, I completely agree with you; I think responses to books are all subjective): I liked the explanation of the name Blessed Island.Svako novo poglavlje je nova priča, koja poput dela neke slagalice, traži da se postavi na pravo mesto i upotpuni celinu. Poe's story, as well as his own fascination with technique, provided that final piece of the puzzle.
