About this deal

Quel genere di ragazzo di cui tutta la scuola è innamorata, ma che a voi pare banalotto e anche un po’ superficiale?

No matter what Ophelia encountered as her storyline wove and ebbed, that consistent from the start was her unwavering aptitude for confrontation. Perlomeno i primi hanno una personalità, un obiettivo e un piano per raggiungerlo, mentre Ofelia non è capace neppure di allacciarsi le scarpe senza mettere a repentaglio la propria incolumità.

The worlds are like nothing I’ve ever read before and I loved how Dabos interwove classic fantasy elements into a fresh story. The heroine's opinion is constantly overlooked, even when she expresses clearly her disapproval, which is rare enough already. You couldn't help but feel sorry for Ophelia as she is faced with an arranged marriage that she just doesn't want, and she is at odds with the other women in her family and those from the Pole who only seem to care for appearances and social standing. scialba e insignificante, non si prende cura di se stessa (si veste male, non si pettina, ad un certo punto dice di non lavarsi da una settimana e la cosa non pare crearle disagio), è incapace di instaurare rapporti interpersonali (è cronicamente timida, non sa articolare le parole, nessuno la capisce perché mugugna mentre parla), non riesce a portare a termine nemmeno le attività più semplici perché inciampa quando cammina, rompe qualunque cosa tocchi, si strozza mentre mangia e cade tentando di sedersi.

Well that is because it was the perfect setup for a story I didn't expect and which in hindsight needed that 24% to give us a feel for Ophelia. There is another clan all about illusions, and Ophelia gets up close and personal with one magical outfit! Ma forse anche questo fa parte del fascino di questo libro che richiama alla mente Alice nel paese delle meraviglie in una cornice fantasy e dalle tinte lievemente steampunk.

It makes for a rather treacherous world to maneuver through and its NOT terribly action oriented though there are plenty of backstabby events and horrid situations instead. If ever there’s a situation she’s uncomfortable in, she need only slip through a mirror to somewhere else. More imaginative than cerebral, she begins to scribble her first texts on the benches of the faculty. I thought, going into this book, that it would be like Alice in Wonderland meets a Victorian, never-met-my-betrothed-but-we’re-getting-married-anyways story.

Very imaginative world and characters one cares about and wants to see through the arc of the story. And I love that the other covers in the series follow the same solid color with ink drawing of a location pattern that is established with A Winter's Promise.The unusual settings, original characters, dark intrigue, originality, and fast-moving plot result in a book that leaves readers eagerly awaiting the next volume. Non ho sempre compreso le sue motivazioni né condiviso sempre i suoi atteggiamenti che in alcuni casi mi sono sembrati molto contraddittori ma ho apprezzato il tentativo di affermazione e la sua incapacità di trattenere i pensieri, il suo aggrapparsi disperatamente e tenacemente alla vita e alla volontà di venire fuori da una situazione così assurda. Ambientazione e trama sicuramente fanno la parte del leone rispetto ai personaggi che rimangono alquanto enigmatici.

And in turn braved the world, no matter her positionality in relation to it -- any lack of power, authority, or knowledge never informed her interpersonal inclinations. I believe it is a story of a young woman finding her power in such a landscape and navigating her way through it.

Only an Everwitch who has control over all four seasons has any hope of making headway against the perils they face.Potenzialmente il libro della vita ma dobbiamo fare i conti con qualche caduta di stile che rovina una lettura così piacevole. Per il resto, la nostra eroina non ha nessuna qualità, ambizione o capacità, se non quella legata al potere di cui è dotata fin dalla nascita. Et ne me parlez pas des dialogues, qui sonnent si faux que je n'ai jamais réussi à m'immerger complètement dans les interactions des personnages. She doesn't even want to be with the 'hero' of the book, and has so many other strengths going for her than the love of a man, and I think that is made perfectly clear. Some readers would probably fight me on the fact that I wasn't loving this at 24% and yet I still gave A Winter's Promise 5 stars.
