But if you are looking for a book full of magic and spells, with a little bit of action and romance, I don't think I would recommend this. El libro tiene una temática muy original, y siento que deja un mensaje claro, todos tenemos un lado oscuro, nadie es completamente bueno ni completamente malo. Characters constantly make the most brain dead decisions and it's so aggravating. Also aren't blood supposed to be like really strong? Why have all the ones that've shown up just been cannon fodder or just extremely weak? Like that old lady was supposed to have hundreds of powers but was just gunned down like it was nothing.

So, if you are in for some depressive thoughts and a kid who is trying really hard to be accepted by his magic(?) society that doesn't give a damn about him and just make him suffer more and more, this is your book. At Den of Geek, Rosie Fletcher was also hugely positive, calling the show a “clever adaptation that takes the bones of the much-loved book and adds its own flavor.” Like others, the review expressed excitement for a second series, and indeed others were optimistic that The Bastard Son & The Devil Himself could avoid the same fate that’s befallen 16 shows cancelled by Netflix this year alone. At first I was surprised by the writing style. I didn't like it but I have to admit that we don't see it every day. He doesn't reply but drops to his knees with me and hugs me. We stay like that. Him hugging me and me still stiff with anger at him, wanting to hurt him too. I'm sorry, but I'm afraid this review will be terribly short. The reason? Take the title and replace the word "Half" with "Totally". Here you have my review.

I do have a secret, though. A secret so dark, so hopeless, so absurd that I can never share it with anyone. It is a secret story that I tell myself when I’m in bed at night. (c) Overall, kind of mixed emotions about this book. The story was pretty good, the characters were decent, but it was kind of downgraded by the writing style. This book was good but it wasn't great. However it was decent, and I would say I did enjoy it, I was interested in what was going to happen next. I liked Nathan's character, and the concept was quite interesting. There aren't really that many characters in this though, I liked Arran and Annalise also, didn't like Jessica and Kieran (he was evil) as well as Clay the hunter, and also didn't really like Celia or Mercury even. I liked Gabrielle and Rose though, oh and that Nikita girl was cute. But that's about it.

At Ready Steady Cut, Jonathon Wilston described the show as “as guaranteed a hit as the platform has had in some time.” Andrew Murray at The Upcoming argued that it had “the style, personality and ideas” to “avoid becoming another casualty of cancellation, as has been the case with so many other similar shows.” I thought about giving this book 2 stars but who am I kidding? It was a torture to read it! I seriously have no idea how I got to the end. Oh wait, yes I have! I was actually waiting for something, anything, to happen! Plus, it promised me This story is definitely character based and the reader is deep inside Nathan's head. The story and writing really involves the reader and at times switching to second person and using "you". It's a startling way to tell such a gritty story, but very intriguing. is highly disappointing. Her name is Annalise, a White Witch whose Uncle is in the Council. It could have been an interesting "We-Are-Not-Meant-To-Be" love story, but holy shit, was she the most useless character EVER. She does absolutely nothing but look pretty and demure. I am aware she has a hard life at home as her family is limiting the things she can and can't do and she is being pushed around all the time, but come on, a little personality wouldn't hurt, would it? This is the reason why you're being pushed around - because you allow it to happen. And I'm not surprised why. The characters are duller than the writing, and that takes talent. With one exception: Annalise. She manages to be disgustingly annoying with just three or four scenes she's in. That takes talent too.Half Bad is, in many ways, that story. The story of a boy who was never given a chance. A story of nature vs nurture, outsiders, family and prophecy. But... with witches! También siento que el inicio del libro es enigmático, después lo sentí lento (creo que la autora peca por detallista) pero el final mejoró muchísimo la fluidez de la historia.

All the secondary characters were wondrous. (except one, which I’ll get to later) I loved Gabriel even though he was for a short while in the end only, and all the other people who helped Nathan. As for Marcus's second gift to his son, it was the last thing Nathan's mother had said to Marcus. She had said she was not afraid of what Nathan would become. The plot started out really slow, but god damn was it addictive!! I read this in 12 hours. YES YOU HEARD THAT RIGHT. Now, I know I am a really fast reader and I can read a book in day, but 12 hours is insane even for me lol. (I had to stop to go to swimming and to class. Yeahh. Not fun at all, I know. But you know what! I am a responsible person! Ok not really)They start to build a relationship again, but Nathan is faced with a difficult decision by the end.
