   Ninguno Actualmente no hay Conversaciones sobre este libro.  katsmiao | Oct 23, 2015 |   The premise of this one sounded fun, and it started off really good. The opening scene in the bookstore had be hooked right away. But then it just fizzled for me. I found it hard to read, and hard to pick up instead of hard to put down. And that's always the ultimate test for me. I didn't connect with the writing style, the writing felt stilted and awkward, and didn't make the book flow, where you really need to go somewhere, but you want just one more page, and then just one more. Overall, the plot sounds intriguing and unique, and to me promised a great book. I'm sure other readers will love this one.

While browsing in a rare book store in Arkham, Sean finds an occult book with an ad seeking an apprentice sorcerer, from a newspaper dated March 21, 1895. Even more intriguing, the ad specifically requests applicants reply by email. Sean's always been interested in magic, particularly the Lovecraftian dark mythology. Against his best friend Edna's ("call-me-Eddy-or-else") advice, he decides to answer the ad, figuring it's a clever hoax, but hoping that it won't be. The advertiser, Reverend Redemption Orne, claims to be a master of the occult born more than 300 years ago. To prove his legitimacy, Orne gives Sean instructions to summon a harmless but useful familiar-but Sean's ceremony takes a dark turn, and he instead accidentally beckons a bloodthirsty servant to the Cthulhu Mythos god Nyarlathotep. The ritual is preemptively broken, and now Sean must find and bind the servitor, before it grows too strong to contain. But strange things are already happening in the town of Arkham.... Welcome to the darker side of New England in the first of a new series from Anne Pillsworth. "Summoned is a fantastic debut...this YA gothic is infused with sly wit and occult tremors in equal measure. Finally, a novel for readers who like their magic dangerous, and their hexes irrevocable." -Sean Beaudoin, author ofThe Infects andWise Young Fool No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
