Vision in Silver

Same as previous ones.

I appreciate the author's ability to avoid falling into common cliches. There isn't always a looming doom awaiting to happen. The protagonists aren't always in peril. The antagonists don't have a fool proof master plan to take over the world.

The characters are just people, and beings learning how to be people. It is light on psychological depth, but there is enough character development to create some empathy and word development to create attachment.

The series theme reads like “humankind vs nature”. And nature always wins. I love the consistency the author maintains, avoiding the trapping of sensationalist plots.

I wish there were more logical debates, but at least the few that happened seemed sound and valid to me.

Plot advancements
- the liberated Cassandra Sangue were taken care fo by the Intuits and the Others- the HFL grand scheme was discovered and it seems the movement is about to loose some steam- the Courtyard started housing a pack of humans- the Others nearly decided for extermination of humankind for their breach of trust

Things are getting crazy everywhere because of the HFL. A little girl travels alone on a train and has to be protected by a wolf. The cassandra sangue rescued from the compounds are having trouble adjusting. Can Meg, deemed The Trailblazer figure out how to help them? One of the girls has started drawing again, and the drawings resemble prophecy. Maybe they can find other ways than cutting to get their visions out there. An attack by the HFL leaves some dead and many injured. Can Simon and the others convince the wild ones not to wipe out all of the humans? Or is it too late? Soooo much going on in this book!! I love this series!!

Gran parte del libro iba por el 2.5 de nota. Le pongo más porque ya me encariñe con algún personaje o porque soy buena gente. Me aburrió un poco, se la pasan dándole vueltas a lo mismo y a lo mismo.

Y no sé porque creía que Meg y Simon eran protagonistas, en este libro son más secundarios que los secundarios. Casi no aparecen, sobre todo Meg, solo se corta para soltar alguna profecía, y eso es todo. Realmente me frustraba pasar a otro capítulo y que siguieran otros personajes, dándole vueltas a lo mismo, y Meg y Simon ni sus luces.

Le daré oportunidad, espero que la historia avance en el próximo.

Ce livre s'inscrit dans la continuité du deuxième et apporte de nombreux éléments nouveaux à l'intrigue.

Les défauts que je trouvais au précédent ont disparu ce qui le rend plus agréable à lire.

Il annonce une suite qui s'annonce très prenante.

------------

This book is a continuation of the second and brings many new elements to the plot.

The flaws I found in the previous one have disappeared which makes it more enjoyable to read.

It announces a sequel that promises to be very gripping.

I was disappointed with the pace of this book. It slowed to a crawl, the story is still interesting, but I feel like the friendship between Meg and Simon moved backwards. I also feel like the premise of this book came up out of nowhere. Shouldn't it have been an issue in the first 2 books? I'm trying not to put any spoilers in here, so yeah, it is a little vague.
