Get Your Hands On Darkthaw (Winterkill, #2) Devised By Kate A. Boorman Published As EPub

was worried I wouldn't enjoy this book as much as the first in this series, but god was I wrong.
I loved the added tension that this story had and getting to see the world expand to be so much more than once was thought.
The character development was brilliant and Boorman really impressed me with how multidimensional they all were, I really came to love Isi and Tom especially, which is something I didn't expect after they were relatively small characters in the first book.
The emotional depth was brilliant and I enjoyed the inner monologue of Em, I also enjoyed seeing the relationship between Em and Kane develop further, and though the ending did sadden me a lot.


I really loved this and needless to say I'm going to order

the final book right now! Kind of getting annoyed with Em.
But oh well, I've committed now, You know what I wasn't entirely sure what to expect from this book when I saw it up on NetGalley, however I found myself to be very surprised by it.
So even though the book was a quick read for me, but overall, I came to really enjoy this book.
The writing and the characters alone were definitely the main part of that enjoyment so I was quite surprised by this new title and I'm looking forward to seeing what other readers think of this one and not to mention I'm looking forward to reading more from this author.

stars! Segunda parte de esta trilogía que nos cuenta las aventuras de Em ahora fuera del asentamiento donde creció y todas las situaciones por las que tienen que pasar en su camino de empezar una nueva vida en un lugar nuevo y desconocido para ella.
Tal vez las cosas no son como las esperaba pero ella tiene el poder para seguir adelante.
I tried really hard to like this book, But it just wasn't meant the be, Aw. I really wanted to like it more than book one, yet I ended up liking it less.
Which is just so disappointing, Especially since the first time I read book one I loved it, Aw. But not this time around, sadly, I seemed to have issues with this book at all times, Sigh.

I'm not sure how to write this review of mine, I'm giving this book two, Because while I didn't like it, I also didn't fully hate it, I enjoyed some parts of the plot, but for the most part I disliked it all, I just did not connect to anything, I found this book to be silly and just boring, I didn't care for the girl at all, Was disappointing.

I really wanted to enjoy this book a lot, And it makes me so sad that I didn't, But there was just no way for me to like it, Sigh. I felt like this book didn't make much sense, and it annoyed me often, I liked the writing in book one, but in this one it bothered me a lot, This book was describing way too much, It made my head hurt a bit, Sigh. This book is also from the point of view of Emmeline, While I sort of liked her in book one, I sadly didn't like her much at all in this sequel.
I found her annoying and selfish and oh so childish too, I think she was supposed to come off as fierce at times, but she really wasn't, I strongly disliked how she treated some people, Like Kane at times. And Charlie. The ending with Charlie bothered me a lot, She didn't make the right choices,

This time my review will not be long, Because I really don't know what to say about this book, I had many issues reading it, I just wanted the book to end, Sigh. I'm still going to read book three, though, Because I am sort of curious about what will happen next, yet also not really curious at all.
Book one at least had a plot, I wouldn't really say that this one had a plot at all, It only takes place in the forest, where they are traveling to find Marisa's people, It was sort of interesting to read about, the forest parts, But not enough.

As I said, I didn't really like Emmeline at all, She was so selfish. Like, she wanted Kane to be with only her, she didn't understand why he wanted to stay with his two really younger brothers and his mom.
She didn't understand why he would chose them over her, And that bothered me like crazy, She was not a person that felt for others, She just seemed to want herself to be happy, Sigh. I hope she's better in book three, but I sort of doubt it, I don't think I will grow to like her more, But I do have a small hope, even so,

I wish I could say that the romance was good, but it really wasn't, They share a few kisses, I felt nothing. Nothing at all. Emmeline is always going on about feeling moths in her stomach while looking at Kane, . and I found that to be so cheesy and silly, I didn't get their feelings for each other at all, I still haven't seen them talk to each other for real, I wish I believed in their romance, but I still haven't seen any reason for why they should love each other.
Ugh. I wish the romance had been better, I simply didn't care for it at all,

There are other characters in this book too, Like the other girl, Matisa, And I didn't really get her at all, Didn't know her either. She just showed up in book one, having dreamed about Emmeline, and Emmeline dreaming of her, And this was another thing that made no sense to me at all, Emmeline can dream the future, or whatever, Parts of her dreams are written down, and they just felt really silly to me, I just didn't understand the point of it at all, Sigh. And didn't understand her friendship with Matisa either, Wish I had.

I'm not sure what else to say about this book, So I won't say much more, I wish that it had been better, I wish that I had liked it more, But I guess this book just wasn't for me, Which is just all kinds of depressing, because I really thought I would love this series, as I loved book one years back, but not this time.
Sigh. It's just depressing, lol. I wish it had been better, But it wasn't. I had lots of issues with this book, But I do think that maybe others will enjoy it a lot, And I do think you should give this trilogy a chance, If you wish.



This review was first posted on my blog, Carina's Books, here: sitelink blogspot. no Me ha gustado más que el anterior, es mucho más dinámico,
Los personajes principales son los mismos, me siguen gustando más Tom y André, y en este caso les he cogido cariño a Daniel y a Isi.
Cualquiera que haya leído el libro, tiene que estar sorprendido de esto, dado que no son personajes determinantes, por decirlo de alguna manera.
A Kane no le termino de coger el punto,
Ha sido un aspecto positivo el que hubiera más acción y el que cambiara la ubicación, porque ha estado bien conocer más ese mundo,aunque hubiera agradecido que apareciera un mapa
En resumen, es una buena segunda parte, aunque sigo pensando que es una trilogía al que le falta algo de chispa.
Actual .stars. We have here a rare occasion of a sequel or second book in a trilogy if you prefer actually being better than the original.
I liked Winterkill a lot, I think it did some really refreshing things, But Darkthaw expands the world and gives us a thrilling "journey" plot, Now it's not perfect. Things are touched upon and nothing is really done with them I assume the third book will go into more detail, though.
There are a few characters that should have had more of a presence, It would have made what happens later have more weight, But overall, I really enjoyed it, Really looking forward to the last book, I could not get into this story, Book, Winterkill was great, I was so excited to get this one in the mail and start reading.
Only to find out it was nothing like I thought it would be, Needless to say, I won't be buying book number,./

Es mejor que el primero, bastante mejor a decir verdad,
Los personajes evolucionan un poco y si, hay veces en que Em saca de las casillas al lector por ser terca, pero es comprensible lo que intenta hacer.

.
No llegue hacer mucho click con los personajes pero ninguno me fastidio o me cayó mal, al contrario, entendía sus porque de las cosas que hacían.
. .
Hay avance, desarrollo de los personajes, no se quedan estancados en lo necios que son, en mi parecer Kate hizo un buen desarrollo del clima para que sus personajes cambiaran poco a poco pero de manera perceptible.

También entre las relaciones de los personajes hay avances y retrocesos, no todo es amor entre ellos y apoyo.
. . pero le da buenos giros a las relaciones, por lo menos no las hace tan superficiales,
.
.
recomiendo esta trilogía, es buena para pasar el rato y para ser una distopia también es buena, si creo que la escritora haya cogido cosas de algunos libros como Divergente y Maze Runner si llegan a leer la trilogía entenderán por que digo esto, no quiero hacer spoilers, pero su desarrollo es bueno.
Oh, don't mind me I'm just sitting here waiting to get my hands on book three as I cry my eyes out over character deaths.


TW: graphic violence, brief torture scenes, descriptive sickness, starvation, list things as I think recall it Almoststars.
I was wondering where the author will take the story after ripping off Village in the first book.
It is not a bad book, Some scenes are great. But overall, nothing special. And there really is not that much going on, Good read nevertheless and the translation is quite good, sitelink

Winterkill, the first in this series, was one of my favorite books of! I loved the "Village" vibes it gave off and even enjoyed the uncertainty of the setting.
Darkthaw picks up right where Winterkill left off, with Em and Kane planning their future and being generally confused about most things.
This was a sequel I have really been looking forward to and I hoped to feel the same about book two as I did about book one.
Unfortunately, this one didn't quite do it for me,

I'm not sure what changed before books one and two, but I felt like I had a hard time connecting to Emmeline this time around.
I know that people are probably inherently selfish, but she made some decisions in the first half of the book that I had a hard time accepting.
I did really enjoy Matisa, however! She was a fantastic character who honestly didn't seem to have a flaw whatsoever.
Kane remained one of my favorite characters also and I really felt for him as he tried to find his path in life.


I did really enjoy the new world that opened up in this installment, Emmeline and Kane decide to leave their settlement when they learn that there's much more out there than they'd originally known.
The introduction of other settlers really upped the tension and mystery and continued this series as extremely unique.
I feel like I was able to place the location a little better this go round I'm guessing somewhere in Eastern Canada.


My main issue with this book was the writing, The author has used a really strange dialect which, on the one hand, makes it unique, but also makes it really laborious to get through at times.
The story was also quite slow, which is why this book took me sooooo much longer to get through than the first.
I feel like book one had a very quick series of events that progressed easily, while this one was a lot of traveling, horseback riding, and talking.


Darkthaw definitely had its ups and downs, I really appreciated the original story and the new characters, but the writing and unsympathetic main character made it less great than Winterkill.
I'd recommend this to someone looking for a very unique dystopian who's read everything else!,
