Bu kitabı Joyce veya Pynchon'a benzeyen insanlara katılmıyorum. Tabii ki katmanlı bir metindir, ancak tamamen izlemenizi beklemez. Almayı tercih ederdiniz ... (kayıp klişe bir terimdir; 'yönünü kaybetmiş' daha uygun olduğunu düşünüyorum.) Bu kitaba başlamak için zamanım yoktu ve okul çalışmamı yaparken okumak zorundaydım, bu yüzden üstesinden gelmek çok uzun sürdü. Onu alıp yere sermek gerçekten kitabın hızını attı, ama bir süre daha yapmaktan gerçekten çok heyecanlıyım. Gözünüzü korkutmayın: bu kitaba ulaşılabilir
Inda'dan başlayarak bu dizinin tamamını yeniden okudum ve hepsi hakkında ayrıntılı yorumlar yazmak istedim; bu yüzden uzun süre "şu anda okumakta" oturmasına izin verdim. Ne yazık ki, an geçti ve bu diziyi çok sevmeme rağmen, içinde o kadar çok şey var ki, bu kadar sonra adalet yapacak bir inceleme yazabileceğimi hissetmiyorum. Temel olarak, grimdark olmadan ahlaki karmaşıklığa sahip karmaşık, destansı fantezi seven herkes bu kitapları okumalıdır. (İstisna: Çok sayıda POV hikayesinden yoğun bir şekilde hoşlanmıyorsanız bunları okumayın, çünkü Smith tamamen çoklu POV'larla ilgilidir!) Smith'in bunu bir kuadrilojiye genişletebildiğine sevindim, çünkü gerçekten nereden gelmesi için dört kitaba ihtiyacı vardı O gidiyordu. Bir zamanlar inanılmaz derecede yakın olan iki karakterin Inda ve Evred'in ilişkilerini asla tam olarak onaramadıkları ve hayatlarını yarı yabancılaşmış olarak bitiremedikleri için üzülmeme rağmen, bunun sonu doğru geliyor. ve kör noktalar. Her biri, kendi yollarıyla, yarı mutlu bir son alır.
Müthiş yaratıcı ve zeki - Keşke Almanca biliyor olsaydım, orijinalinde okuyabilirdim. Kitaplar ve edebiyat hakkında kitaplar sevenler için harika - anagramları izleyin. (Ör. Mantho Snam'ın tüberküloz kahramanı olan "Alplerde Büyücülük" adlı romanı.)
Aman tanrım bu çok iyi! Ah! stephenie meyer tekrar yaptı !!
Historical portrayal is excellent; but corruption is the ill, not capitalism; socialism as a cure is bolted on.
Hot! Always like Miranda Lee's books, she write extremely hot sex scenes and often with plot surprises
Another fiction centered around King Arthur and Camelot, yet this novel (part of a trilogy) is ambitious, compelling, well written, and allows Gwenhwyfar to be a real heroine.
The theme of mother-daughter bonds and the search for identity is explored in this novel. In the mountains of rural Japan, in 1954, Satomi lives with her mother, Akiko, who runs a pub, or *izakaya.* Satomi has sufficient talent to enter piano competitions and subsequently goes to college on a music scholarship; however, she struggles in her search for an authentic life. Her independence is nearly thwarted at various times by her cruel stepsisters and her penury. Additionally, a man she started a platonic but deep relationship with abruptly leaves to join a Buddhist monastery. She goes to Paris to study Western classical music and meets an enigmatic American man, Timothy. When Timothy mysteriously disappears, she has to make some bold decisions about her future. The story then moves forward to the 1980's, San Francisco, and we are introduced to Satomi's daughter, Rumi. Now motherless--Satomi left her and her father when she was a baby--Rumi and her American father collect, sell and trade rare Asian artifacts. Rumi possesses a mystical talent: these artifacts "speak" to her in vibratory ways. Rumi believes that this talent is inexplicably bound to the hidden facts of her mother--and her mother's disappearance. This leads her to Japan, on a physical and spiritual journey to search and find the answers to her identity. In non-linear narrative, the story weaves both Satomi and Rumi's lives together. The ethereal quality of the prose is often dreamlike and sensuous, and the author educates the reader well about the culture of rural Japan--the food; the religions; and material and spiritual aspects of Japanese life. As the tale unfolds, however, the story loses its stride. The rich and promising beginning wobbles and wanes, and the story weakens in its intensity and focus. The secondary characters are generally thin, dotting the landscape of the novel in order to support the story of Rumi and Satomi, but otherwise not very interesting. Therefore, when characters from the 50's appear in the latter part of the story, they don't reverberate. By the end of the book, I felt that I was reading a tract on cultural anthropology. The information that the story imbibes is often fascinating, but the tale flattens . I have witnessed this before with first-time novelists, where the tone is inconsistent and the prose becomes too expository. Mockett is learned in her subject and gives us a portrait of Japanese culture, but there isn't enough *story* in this adventure. Or, rather, the story loses amplitude. The strength of the novel at the beginning carried me through, but I was disappointed with the withering denouement. The sensuality and the poetic largess of this author is palpable. I suspect that she will acquire a deft novelistic command and finesse that will coalesce in her next novel.
I have no words. : I can't believe it's over. : I loved the ending but at the same time my heart aches. This trilogy has been amazing and such a wonderful rollercoaster. The characters have implanted themselves in my heart and I don't think they'll leave. Tessa, Will, Jem. Three great characters. Two wonderful boys. And one girl with an impossible choice. Even though I've loved Jem throughout all the books, my heart will always be with Will Herondale. You won't suspect anything that Cassandra has in store for you. Nothing at all. Everything was a complete shock... I'm... I'm just going to sit it the corner and let my brain digest everything that's just happened in this conclusion... Wow. (Shall write a review when I've sorted out my emotions ;) ) --------------------------------- YAY! FINALLY A REVIEW: My emotions are all over the place after reading this book. I told myself I would take it slowly, but I couldn't put it down! So here I am: an emotional mess. I think most of it is the realisation that this it the end of the trilogy, but also because of the extreme roller-coaster that Cassandra Clare has taken me on over the last few years, and the fact that I have formed strong attachments to her characters. I've always preferred this series to the Mortal Instruments, and I know that some others do too. May this be because of the setting and era or because of the gripping writing style, I'm not entirely sure. There's simply something that makes this series more memorable, more gripping, and way more emotional. And every time I think about it, the only conclusion I can draw up is the characters. Yep, the characters. It's the characters that make this book unforgettable. Each of them have their own unique personality, and they each have a different kind of connection towards each other. A different kind of relationship that not only fascinates me, but also urges me to read more. Will and Jem. That's the first relationship I would like to talk about. The two are parabatai's, which is a Shadowhunter bond stronger than anything in the world. Each would do anything for the other because that's how strong Will and Jem's love is. Nothing romantic, just a bond stronger than any bromance you will ever experience in any other book. But of course if you've read the series, you will know that they are both in love with Tessa Grey, our main character. You will also know that Jem knows nothing about Will's love for her when he asks her to marry him. Does Will get in the way? Try to steal Tessa? Of course not. Because Jem and Tessa are the two that he loves the most and he wants them to be happy. I must confess: I am team Will. I'm sorry, I know some of you guys hate "teams", but all it means for me is that I love Will a bit more than Jem. In Clockwork Angel, Will was the brooding guy with sarcastic comment for everything that someone could say. I found him entertaining, and even though he wasn't the nicest of guys, I fell for his character because I knew there was a reason behind all the hate inside him. Jem was the sweet guy with soothing words but he never really stole my heart like Will did. In Clockwork Prince, we found out out more of Will's past and how it's haunted him. I think we all fell a bit more for Will then, didn't we? Will Herondale; the boy with the dark hair and blue eyes. Come on, you gotta love him. But my point is, from the start I've always wanted Will and Tessa to end up together, but I've also wanted Jem to get a happy ending, too. Well, I think you guys will happy to know that Clare delivers an ending that not only will leave you breathless, but also satisfy all readers. Yes, ALL readers. I think I could go on about Will for a very long time so let's switch topics to Tessa. Tessa is a determined and lovable character. She has been through so much since we met her in Clockwork Angel and she finally gets an ending! But before she can reach that point, she has to face Mortmain one last time. He wants her for himself; a weapon against the Clave, but Tessa and the Shadowhunters are not going down without a fight to the death! Resulting in a load of action along the side the love-triangle we've been waiting for. Tessa, Will and Jem are our three main characters, but in this conclusion we get to read about more than just their little romance problems. Gabriel and Gideon Lightwood are in dah house! (Well, institution) And boy, have they got their sights set or the girls of their dreams. Cecily Herondale, Will's younger sister, has decided to join the Shadowhunters and Gabriel has taken quite a fancy to the feisty young woman. In Clockwork Prince, we see the attraction between Sophie and Gideon Lightworm - oops - I mean Lightwood! I loved all the little romances going on around the institution! Especially with the crisis at hand, it felt like a nice break to read about two people who were happy and building a new connection. Very sweet. Cassandra is a very talented writer with an addictive and unique writing style, she manages to pack in so much emotion into this book that you will be sobbing buckets by the end. Actually, I started sobbing from the eleventh chapter. I can't help but wish that THIS was the series that was being extended instead of The Mortal Instruments (TMI was only meant to have 3 books but was extended to 6). I'm simply not ready to accept the ending or to let go of this set of characters. On the other hand, I have heard that Cassandra Clare has a lot of books coming up that are based in the Shadowhunter world! There's ten-book series coming out for Magnus Bane, another three-book series set in 1903 about the next generation of Shadowhunters after The Infernal Devices, and yet ANOTHER three book series set in 2012, Los Angeles about the new generation of Shadowhunters with another forbidden love called The Dark Artifices. There's a lot planned out for the upcoming years. I believe the publishers have planned all the books to be released from 2013/2014 until 2019, possibly even longer than that. Clockwork Princess is one of the best book I've ever read. Ever. I know I've probably said this about other books but there's simply too many reasons to crown this book the best. The Infernal Devices is definitely one of my favourite series and I shall be buying all the different editions of the books... when I have money. I just want them all! I'm looking forward to Cassandra's new creations and to see if any of our characters from this series appear. Thank you, Cassandra Clare, for taking me on this amazing and unforgettable journey.
This book definitely had the "can't put it down" quality that Stephenie Meyer's other books have had. It made me gasp, cry, sacrifice sleep, grind my teeth, and smile. What more can you ask of from a book?
