Eve (The Eternal Daughter Series Book 1) by Patti Larsen is a wonderful fantasy tale with mythology thrown in there, which I love. Eve is a product of Life and Death. They came together to have a child, although it was forbidden, they did it anyway. Now Eve, 16, is a failure as an angel of Life like her sisters and a angel of death like her brothers. Her failures cause pain in the long run to those mortals she has tried to help and to her parents and siblings. She struggles to find who she is and what is her gift/purpose. When she does, everything changes. Wonderful story! Had me from page one! Love mythology and it had the Fate sisters, Destiny, and so many side characters/ creatures. Great fun, dialogue, twists, turns, and surprises. Loved it!!! Eve is the first book of the Eternal Daughter series by Patti Larsen. I received this book free through Kindle Scout. I voted for this book to be published and for this I 'won' a free book. Free or bought, this book is worth reading. I was caught in the story from the start, a girl born of Life and Death who seems not to be able to do anything right by either parent. You'll feel for Eve, who never seems to get anything right, but she's a survivor and it's her journey to find out why things seem to work in reverse for her (anything else gets into spoiler alert area). The characters were well written, and had depth. The story held my interest and was well developed … the farther into the story I got, the more I didn't want to put it down. I just kept wondering what was going to happen to Eve. She didn't become what I thought she was going to become at the end… but the 'unveiling' did make sense at the end. If you liked her other books, you'll really enjoy this book. If you've never read her books, read this one a see what you've been missing. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

A quanto pare non vado d'accordo con angeli e affini nemmeno se non perdono piume in giro (essendo senza ali) e non hanno in testa una specie di lampada al neon che funge da aureola.
Già il solo fatto che Vita e Morte si chiedano:-Chissà perché non ci è permesso avere dei figli?- non rappresenta un inizio promettente, tuttavia non è certo l'unico motivo per cui questo libro non mi è piaciuto per nulla.
Prima di tutto la trama: nulla di originale, noiosa e... ehi, i colpi di scena e l'azione che fine hanno fatto? Per me li ha mangiati Lilith il serpente, non c'è altra possibilità. Praticamente per più di metà libro non succede niente. Una protagonista frignona, debole, inutile e con milioni di complessi mentali che passa dal regno della Morte a quello della Vita alla Terra in base agli ordini impartiti da mammina o paparino. Combina danni con i compiti assegnati e si deprime ancora di più. Ma non è finita qui! Perché poi di punto in bianco diventa l'esatto opposto, diventando una potenziale omicida pronta a mandare a quel paese tutti quanti. Quando si dice Out of character...
E infine questo: va bene le personificazioni della Vita e della Morte, ma non puoi spiaccicarci dentro anche Zeus con il suo seguito, qualche dio egizio perché fa trendy e pure e per di più persino la personificazione del karma!
Il tutto mi è parso come un'accozzaglia di elementi per nulla uniforme senza un vero e proprio scopo. ( )
