Rezensionen
Speravo che il libro e la scrittura crescessero insieme alla storia, come ci si aspetta d'altronde. Ma se possibile è ancora più assurdo!Cosa diavolo è Signa? E questo rapporto con Morte che non ha né capo né coda, né uno sviluppo né un declino. Lo vede e non lo vede, quando e come senza alcun senso. Bho lo finirò solo per curiosità e ancora con la speranza che si riprenda ma fino ad ora grande delusione.Alla conclusione, la prima opinione non cambia: sembrano le pagine di un diario di una 12enne che non sa scrivere nemmeno un tema. Dinamiche poco chiare e sconclusionate, scenari descritti in modo poco chiaro così come le dinamiche dei personaggi. 1 stella solo per la storia di base che è molto buona, l'altra invece per la metà delle pagine che ho capito.
Foxglove is the second book in the Belladonna series and wow! This is a phenomenal sequel and once again, I was captivated by the story and unwilling to stop reading because I just needed to know what would happen when chaos once more fell all around Signa.‘Your shoulders were not meant to bear the weight of their expectations Signa. You were not made to please others.’I love the way Death speaks to Signa, and how, as the time they've spent around one another has gone past, as well as Signa's acceptance that he's not the enemy; their rapport has evolved. The two may not be able to be around one another as much as they'd like but they're the balance the other needs and I love how Adalyn Grace has written the two of them. Foxglove introduced me to new characters who bring new drama alongside old faces who have evolved like Signa has done and I liked how once again, how their presence is always valid whether for the good or the bad side of the story. The drama begins virtually straight away with the arrival of Fate to the mix and despite him being this perfect looking man? I wanted to delve into the book and tell him to leave Signa and Death alone… Fate is, however, perfectly written to be both charming and utterly infuriating and I do like his troublesome self because of it.Foxglove gives us a murder mystery set in a world mixed with familiar aristocracy and the realm of fantasy. Everything is once more on the line for Signa and her cousin as a conspiracy to destroy the family is woven around them.. but by who? Everything is perfectly written from the creepiness of the ghosts who linger, to the beauty of the world Foxglove is set to the romance between Death and Signa. It's as wonderfully woven together as Fate's tapestries of people's lives - each golden thread perfectly placed for the reader to be balanced precariously on the edge of their seat. This series just gets better and better, with Foxglove bringing some answers to the questions in Belladonna and putting the reader (and Signa) through a plethora of emotions.I loved it.
*Spoilers ahead if you have not finished Foxglove*The beautiful love story between death and the girl who couldn’t die has come to an exhilarating end (I think). Based on the ending, it seems the chapter as closed on a happy note (after all their struggles to be reunited) while the next book will focus on Fate and Blythe who is actually Life. I had many up and down emotions reading this book, particularly terrified that Signa would have to give up death, and that Blythe would never understand what Signa had done for her. However, there was no reason to be worried as in the final moments Blythe in turned saved Signa. I absolutely loved this book, and even more I love that it wasn’t a love triangle after all, and that Signa truly was meant for Death, as Blythe or Life may end up being for Fate once more.
Come out swinging and as good as the first If I am honest I started this book wary - the second isnt usually as good as the first. But this sequel takes the story in its stride and expands beautifully on the world Adalyn has made.I did manage to call some plot twists but it didnt lessen the jpy of finding it out in the story as well. Having new persespective top really brought everything to life.... almost litreally
