This was a interesting book, I couldn't figure out what was going on until the end of the book. But it kept me enthralled to figure out what was going on. It was well written and kept me highly intrigued. I've seen this book get horrible ratings, and to which I always say to each their own, but I really enjoyed this book and am excited to read the next in the series. I'm not quite sure how I feel about this one. I read it in one sitting because I was really curious about what was going on at the school. However, we don't find out until the end, and it's not explained very well. I also don't understand why Cassie took it so completely in her stride- it didn't feel like a normal reaction to what had happened. There were a lot of characters to keep track of, and it took me until the end of the book to understand who everybody was. That said, there was something strangely appealing about it, and I'm looking forward to reading the next book- which will hopefully have more of a story and also some proper explainations. Really quite enjoyed this! :) As a first novel of a series, it does well setting up what to expect in future volumes. I like the lead character, Cassie, she's a rough, snarky girl who isn't easily rattled. I'm coming off a string of reading YA books with a wimpish female lead, so to read a spunky one is refreshing! Lots of stuff is kind of left up in the air, which I expect of a first novel, and I'm eager to get into the nuts and bolts of it all. This was very much a gloss over the story, the real stuff is (hopefully) still to come. I will say I did not care for Ranjit's immediate admission to Cassie the first time he speaks to her that he can't handle his feelings for her. It came out of left field and made no sense. I do like that he's weird and strange, and there's no love triangle. At least, I hope it doesn't develop into one with Jake :S All in all its a very PG take on the whole teen romance/supernatural boarding school thing. Not a lot of darkness, but its a fun and easy read. Very curious as to what exactly these "people" are, soul-suckers? Ordered book 2, awaiting its arrival. :) This was a really great series i can't wait to read the third book. It was a really good. At first it was kind of confuzing and I didnt really understand what was going on but by the end of the first book it kind of made sense and by the end of the third book it all made sense. I would recomend its book to anybody that likes fantasy and of fiction books. sem críticas | adicionar uma crítica
Pertence a SérieDarke Academy (1)

What sinister secrets are guarded by the Few - the select group of students who keep outsiders away? Who is the dark stranger prowling the corridors at night? And what really happened a year earlier, when the last scholarship girl died in mysterious circumstances? One thing Cassie will discover is that a little knowledge may be a dangerous thing, but knowing too much can be deadly... Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |

Cassie is very poor, but very intelligent - we can guess, because she won this prestigeous scholarship, although her behaviour and choices do not seem very intelligent. She goes to Paris, to study at Darke Academy, she meets two fascinating boys, a friendly roommate and a group of enemies - nothing new here, except maybe The Few, because I still don't know for sure what kind of creatures they are.
Generally, I think this book was rather boring and I'm definitely not going to read the rest of this series. ( )
