Il diavolo bianco

I'm sorry to see there are no reviews for this book because it's weird and fascinating at the same time. It's hard to find the world because it's alternate history, there're some elements of dystopia and a not-so-veiled satire of politics. Thomas Cale is a complex character on the moral grey side of t Leggi tutto

I enjoyed this addition to the series, despite feeling it was a little left field. I think the "quotes" from fictional books about the main character were a touch of genius. They often described the character's motives from one of two polar opposite standpoints and really helped cement Cale as a rea Leggi tutto

O escritor de forma inteligente, para não cair na repetição, retirou o Thomas Cale dos conflitos com os Redentores, e deu-nos um novo Thomas Cale, num Novo Mundo, num Estados Unidos transformado num barril de pólvora, luta de norte e sul pela abolição definitiva da escravatura.

I loved the first three books in this series, this book was very different from the previous 3 books in the series although I am not sure if that's only because I listened to this one on audible. there are certainly words used that made me uncomfortable to listen to on the cars audio system when dri Leggi tutto

3.5. I really did enjoy it but it has left me baffled. Did I imagine parts of the plot or miss where they were tied up? I found it entertaining but frustrating. Still would recommend the whole series, and may go back to read the original trilogy

è molto dispersivo, ti prerdi in quello che sta descrivendo, pensavo fosse un bel libro, e lo è non fraintendermi, ma non lo rileggerei, il finale è un po' scontato e un po' da vogliacco, mi ha mandato in blocco, perché ci sono delle parti in cui è sconvolgente, altre in cui non succede nulla.
