Scoring ...
I hope you had a lot of fun ... Halloween. And here I leave a new review, which has little to do with witches and little things supernatural.
I think the synopsis is quite explanatory. Sophie is a witch . But no good. She is a wicked witch (and I do not mean to be evil, but because it's bad sucks type in the sense of magic goes wrong) , and therefore failed to prevent their spells draw the attention of humans, ends up being locked in Hecate (Hex Hall for residents) . Well, the fun problems start at the very moment he walks on the remote property.
Sophia is a good girl . As usual in American juvenile literature, she is the typical girl-of-the-side . Since its untamed brown hair, to the charming freckles and short stature, Sophie is a girl average the only difference being that his father is a wizard, which makes her a witch ... What leads to the reformatory for those phenomena special guys almost have discovered their magical world.
The story begins in a fun and entertaining . Sophie refuses to be confined in Hex Hall, but there is no way to deny that, so I just resigned to "justify closure." And is there knows best, worst and most rare of your world (a world that was always away to be raised by her human mother).
The writing is simple and entertaining, is told in first person, So we share in the feelings and thoughts of Sophie, who are funny and poignant. We see her interacting with all your new peers and strangers. Since the only vampire to get along with all Hex Hall, to ignite the fury of the Trinity (the three most powerful black witch school) , who for some reason want to have it in your Coven.
with funny situations, simple conversations, and spells on clothes, Rachel takes us into the world of magic, where the change- However, witches, fairies and vampires live together in peace, trying to avoid calling the attention of humans. With a quick start in which Sophie is beginning to adapt quite resignation, the writer introduces us to this new world and then fill us full of strange events, occult societies (who are looking to end the witch ) , ghosts and bullies.
definitely is a book that entertains and makes you loose a lot of laughs, it shows you a world governed by supernatural beings themselves throughout life. But nothing more than a writing remarkably common. The author falls into the same dramas juveniles as always: love Sophie Archer, he's popular girl's boyfriend, the popular girl wanting blood his head for not joining their coven, (here begins the touch of the novel) coven suffering strange accidents at school, and school become increasingly insecure in the hands of secret societies.
I believe that although it was very entertaining and fun to read, did not surprise me nothing. Even the world of magic, which is well described and substantiated seemed innovative. The story, entertaining and everything is monotonous (and quite similar to that of a magician ) and although secret societies and strange events are to raise an air of mystery is not enough to make Hall of Hex a memorable novel.
With a few chapters good and a fairly open end, the book is saved from being a failure . Hex Hall is the kind of novel you read in an afternoon of boredom, that entertains you for a while, but do not get stuck in your head for innovation or unforgettable characters. The ending leaves you in suspense, which takes you definitely want to read the second part (at least to me, I hate sagas left incomplete: S) . So if you want something simple, fun, without much real drama, Hex Hall is the ideal novel to kill time.
Data extras.
Demonglass , the next in the series, will hit American bookstores in March next year (I'll leave the synopsis in my next WoW)
And while Americans enjoy the second installment in 2011, the English will do the first, to be published in January by Country , and bearing the name of Hex Hall. CONVICTION
