The magic has limits and disadvantages, which makes it more realistic, and it was interesting to see how different groups in society looked the role of magic and magic users. The story tended to get a little involved in the middle, and unfortunately, a lot of the characters are unsympathetic. Well, they are criminals, what do you expect? The main character is sympathetic, and so are his friends. Most of his family deserved a lot worse than what they got in the end, though. That's the one thing I'm dissatisfied with: perhaps Cassel doesn't exactly forgive them for what they did, but he does protect them. And what they did is pretty damned awful. They really deserved worse. Well, maybe in the sequel... ( ) Oh, but this universe it delightfully different. Sadly, I accidentally spoiled myself due to the internet for the big reveal when going to buy book two while in the middle of one, but the way it played out was still masterful. The characters are compelling and I love how everything magical has decided repercussions, and the generations and history and schools and friends. And it definitely sent me on to reading the next one. Cassel está maldito. Atormentado por el recuerdo de la chica de catorce años a la que asesinó. La vida en el colegio es una prueba constante, y en su casa todo es incluso peor. Allí nadie olvida que Cassel es un asesino. Nadie olvida que Cassel no es un obrador de maleficios. La familia de Cassel trabaja para una de las cinco grandes familias mafiosas de Estados Unidos. Desde que la magia se prohibió en 1929, sus practicantes se han visto arrastrados a la clandestinidad y la vida delictiva. Y aunque la gente sigue necesitando sus servicios, maleficios, asesinatos y transformaciones, la vida es dura. Su abuelo se ha dado a la bebida, su madre cumple condena en la cárcel y sus hermanos lo detestan por ser el único de la familia incapaz de obrar magia. Sin embargo, en el seno de la familia de Cassel se oculta un secreto. Un secreto aterrador que él está a punto de heredar: la verdad. “Gata blanca” es una extraordinaria novela que nos lleva a un mundo transformado por la magia. En este mundo, solamente un 1% de la población es capaz de hacer magia, pero sus poderes son dignos de una pesadilla. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
