The Siren

Product Information

Una historia entretenida de un tema del que por algún motivo desconocido no es tan común en la literatura, sobre todo en la juvenil.

The Siren es una novela rápida y sencilla, con un punto de partida interesante y una historia de amor algo típica. I was a bit hesitant the first time I read this (which was about two years ago, maybe three. So I’m mainly writing from the perspective of my latest reread), because romance books are not really my thing. I had never read The Selection. The term " siren song" refers to an appeal that is hard to resist but that, if heeded, will lead to a bad conclusion. Later writers have implied that the sirens were cannibals, based on Circe's description of them "lolling there in their meadow, round them heaps of corpses rotting away, rags of skin shriveling on their bones." [54] As linguist Jane Ellen Harrison (1850–1928) notes of " The Ker as siren": "It is strange and beautiful that Homer should make the sirens appeal to the spirit, not to the flesh." [55] The siren song is a promise to Odysseus of mantic truths; with a false promise that he will live to tell them, they sing,I wasn’t quite there for the romance, which is a bit unfortunate since this is a romance book. Fight me, but insta-love is just so useless and annoying. Do not avoid this book simply because mushy romances aren't your thing. Yes, there is a romance, and that's very much a big part of the story but there is also SO MUCH MORE. And it's actually more of a tragic tale that I expected. Uno de los elementos que más me gustó de The Siren fue la gran cantidad de personalidades que albergaban las hermanas de Kahlen, las sirenas. Si bien la historia de Aisling es la que más me atrajo de todas, el saber un poco de la vida pasada de cada una de estas chicas atadas al Océano fue bastante refrescante, pues el libro de vez en cuando se hacía un poco lento. ¡Ahhh! Pero si hay algo que Kiera Cass hizo bien en The Siren fue hacernos sufrir. Por supuesto que esta mujer no nos va a regalar una historia de amor sin grandes fuerzas de la naturaleza, destinos escritos e inseguridades que intenten separar a Kahlen y Akinli.

Esta historia es muy o TOTALMENTE diferente a la saga de La Selección, empecemos con el hecho de que Kahlen es encantadora el 99% del libro, algo que con America y Eadlyn no pasa (yo odiaba a America y Eadlyn no me gusto mucho).You must never do anything that might expose our secret. This means that, in general, you cannot form close bonds with humans. You can speak to us, and you can always commune with the Ocean, but you are deadly to humans. You are, essentially, a weapon. A very beautiful weapon. I won't lie to you, it can be a lonely existence, but once you are done, you get to live. All you have to give, for now, is obedience and time..."

Hmmm what else? Oh! THE INSTA LOVE. I mean, it wasn't exactly insta love, but it happened way too fast! I can accept that she instantly had a crush in Akinli (I mean, I would've, too!)... but then in one day she was suddenly in love. What. THEY WERE CUTE TOGETHER! But I'm not a fan of the whole "soulmates" thing when is not well developed :/...Philippe de Thaun (1841). Wright, Thomas (ed.).
