For some reason i preferred this to the first book. I think the first book had more action and plot twists, but towards the end it was just lacking something. This book just felt more balanced. Twists weren't coming as thick and fast. Got a few "Aha! I knew that was coming!" moments which I didn't mind, as well as a few I hadn't expected.
I think I just like the political intrigue, the different factions, the unexpected truces and temporary alliances and the fact that most "villains" are still real characters just with different perspectives. ( )
El reino de Alera ha evitado la invasión de los marat, pero la conspiración contra el Primer Señor sigue su curso y desde el otro lado del mar ha llegado un ataque inesperado que ha debilitado las defensas del reino. Si el Primer Señor cae, una guerra civil cruel y sangrienta será inevitable. Tavi, el muchacho incapaz de invocar a las furias y que salvó a Alera, se encuentra en la Academia, protegido por el Primer Señor, estudiando para convertirse en cursor de la corona y de momento actuando como paje en la corte.
En el mundo de Carna, el reino de Alera es el estado más poderoso y todos sus habitantes tienen cierto dominio sobre las fuerzas elementales (agua, tierra, madera, fuego, aire y metal) a las que llaman Furias. Todos, excepto Tavi, que vive en una propiedad rural y es incapaz de desarrollar sus habilidades, por lo que queda relegado a tareas secundarias y a ser objeto de burla por parte de todos. La azarosa búsqueda de una oveja perdida lanza a Tavi de cabeza hacia los acontecimientos que están poniendo en peligro la paz entre los reinos y la misma supervivencia de Alera. Sin habilidad para controlar las fuerzas elementales, tendrá que confiar en su valor e inteligencia para salvar a sus amigos y liberar al reino de la peor amenaza de su historia.
Las descripciones de los combates son muy buenas es lo mejor del libro, asi mismo la historia si bien es interesante se siente que necesita mas matices, pero hay vueltas o momentos en donde lo griz de los personajes sale a relucir y eso provoca agradables sensaciones. Es un buen libro aun asi necesita un poco mas para llegar a ser epico. ( )
