Description:
"I realized that I knew nothing of how I had to take care of you, Callie. You were not a thing without name, without reality. You were not a romantic ideal or a simple way to punish my father. You were a real person. And you needed me to survive.
Callie Rose. My flesh and my blood. Half Callum, half me and one hundred percent you. Not a doll, not a symbol or an idea, but a real person with a Brand New Life, which opened to her.
And under my responsibility. "
Imagine a world. A world where everything is black or white. Where that is black is rich, powerful and dominant. Where that is white is poor, oppressed and despised.
Blacks and whites do not mix. Never. But Callie Rose was born. Children love to Sephy and Callum, his parents. Children of shame for the world. Everyone must choose sounds camp and color. But some, that color is a shade ... dangerous than hatred.
My opinion:
I had to wait 2 ½ months to read this sequel. And what disappointment. While the first book, Noughts And for me was a huge favorite, I am rather disappointed with it, not at all what I expected.
I found it quite long, many passages dragging on, long to start too. Especially with the first chapter we used the author (quite in the tone of the first book), I had imagined it would end a few years later, that little would have grown and that it would Jude hands on revenge for his mother, as he swears in this first chapter.
But not anything like that. Instead we serves long monologues Sephy who have also sometimes deeply annoyed. A hateful Jude, equal to himself then, but suddenly read half the book from his point of view I was not at all pleased. Moreover
at the points of view, I really liked the idea of alternating them in the first book, but it is almost lose it, it is entitled to no less than five points of view, I found it too much and sometimes unnecessary.
And then what about this? I am left speechless, I do not understand what it is doing there, why finish the book so, I really do not see.
You will therefore understand that I am really disappointed, I even wonder if it's worth it for me to read more ... I'll let a little time and maybe come back later, but I'm really cold ...
