Witches must choose the path they will follow, and Darlena Agara is no exception. She’s been putting it off long enough, and in her case, ignoring it has not made it go away. In a moment of frustration, Darlena chooses to follow Red Magic, figuring she had outsmarted the powers that be, since there’s no such thing as Red Magic. But alas, Darlena’s wrong (again) and she becomes a newly declared Red Witch.
Her friends are shocked and her parents horrified by the choice Darlena has made. As a Red Witch, she now governs one third of the world’s chaos. She is the walking personification of pandemonium, turmoil, and bedlam, just as the patrons of Red Magic would have it to be. But Darlena believes there must be more to Red Magic than chaos and destruction, and she sets out on a journey to achieve balance. Only doing so puts her at odds with the dark goddess Hecate, who simply will not allow Darlena to quit. She encourages Darlena to embrace who and what she is and to leave good magic to the good witches. If only Darlena could, life would be simple, and she would not be the Daughter of Chaos. DAUGHTER OF CHAOS is the first in a YA paranormal trilogy. |
MI OPINIÓN
I love all the theme of magic, and mithology, how i mentioned before, it was the best part of the book, but Darlena... i don't know how explain it, i can love the character but i can hate the character too, in many parts she was annoying at the point that i want to punch her face or at least throw my shoe at the head.
how the link between Darlena and his family shows I found very interesting because it feels real, not a perfect family shows, but perfectly real families, with discussions that are fixed in seconds even if it lasted for hours, and that 's saying a lot because sometimes authors try to idealize a lot in his books, but here is a portrait of everyday life, even for families that do not have an heiress daughter of Chaos
The story, how you can see in the synopsis is really interesting, have a lot of twists in every page and to be the first book of the series exceeded my expectations. I don't understand well how red magic works, but it was an insignificant detail when you do the comparison with the writing style and the concept of the magic that is presented in the book.
