توضیحات
She soon learns that she is a Rook, a high-ranking member of a secret organization called the Chequy that battles the many supernatural forces at work in Britain. She also discovers that she possesses a rare, potentially deadly supernatural ability of her own.
In her quest to uncover which member of the Chequy betrayed her and why, Myfanwy encounters a person with four bodies, an aristocratic woman who can enter her dreams, a secret training facility where children are transformed into deadly fighters, and a conspiracy more vast than she ever could have imagined.
Filled with characters both fascinating and fantastical, THE ROOK is a richly inventive, suspenseful, and often wry thriller that marks an ambitious debut from a promising young writer.

Una historia muy interesante, rica en detalles y con múltiples personajes. La protagonista está cargada de ironía y abundan las escenas cómicas, pero creo que la acción es algo escasa.De mis personajes favoritos e interesantes: Gestalt y Shantay.
My Kobo says I'm 6% through with 7hrs remaining. That's 7hrs I'd rather spend reading something else so I decided to stop.I don't like to be harsh because no doubt a huge amount of effort has gone into any novel but this was not for me. I realise I haven't given it much of a chance but already I don't like the writing style or the main character so I'm not going to finish it.These days I also get really frustrated with publishers stretching out stories into trilogies when most of the time a stand alone novel would suffice. Who knows how many will be in this series so it's not worth me getting started if I know now I won't read the sequels.
