The fourth book in the Gunnie Rose series is not about Lizbeth Rose, but her little sister, Felicia. Since Lizbeth found and saved her in the first book in the series, Felicia has been staying at the Rasputin boarding school for grigori (wizards), while occasionally serving as a blood donor for the Tzar of California who has a bleeding disease. Now Felicias estranged witch family wants her back, and they not shy about it - resulting in abductions, violence, murders, false accusations and astral projections. As it is part of the Gunnie Rose series, I did not expect this to be a spin-of forcusing on Felicia, who I never liked particularly, so that was a bit of a let down. The story is not as well plotted as the other books in the series, and the characters and their actions are not particularly interesting. The story also had more of a YA flavor, possibly due to the age of Felicia or the boarding school setting. A bit interesting to see the characters from previous books through other eyes. The Serpeant in Heaven, the 4th book in the Gunnie Rose series was a strong followup to the previous books. This book focuses more on Lisbeth's half-sister, Felicia. It was a bit too YA at times (I may be a bit biased as I work at a high school and need a break from teen angst) for me but otherwise a solid story with Ms Harris' excellent writing. Really looking forward to the next book which I hope puts Felicity and Lisbeth working together. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

#1 New York Times and USA TODAY bestselling author Charlaine Harris returns to her alternate history of the United States where magic is an acknowledged but despised power in this fourth installment of the Gunnie Rose series. Felicia, Lizbeth Rose's half-sister and a student at the Grigori Rasputin school in San Diego--capital of the Holy Russian Empire--is caught between her own secrets and powerful family struggles. As a granddaughter of Rasputin, she provides an essential service to the hemophiliac Tsar Alexei, providing him the blood transfusions that keep him alive. Felicia is treated like a nonentity at the bedside of the tsar, and at the school she's seen as a charity case with no magical ability. But when Felicia is snatched outside the school, the facts of her heritage begin to surface. Felicia turns out to be far more than the Russian-Mexican Lizbeth rescued. As Felicia's history unravels and her true abilities become known, she becomes under attack from all directions. Only her courage will keep her alive. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
