Summary: l Add here
I didn’t feel like the savior
of the universe. I was afraid of tiny cliff sides and dead animals. But I
didn’t have a choice; people depended on me-millions of people. My life was no
longer my own. Just as the Mangitor de Sangue’s was not their own. My name is
Aniah. I saw my fate last year in the eyes of a monster, otherwise known as a
SleepWalker, a breed of the Mangitori de Sangue. I have yet to learn about this
prophecy in which I am an omnipotent warrior sent to save this universe from
the deadly clasps of the Mangitori de Sangue, an ancient army of blood lusting
creatures. I must try to pull myself from this fearful prison of self pity and
desperation that I have trapped myself in, realizing I could lose everyone I
ever loved, and become the warrior that millions are counting on. I must learn
to fight and spill blood; to run and to hide; and worst of all, to be prepared
to have my world ripped to pieces.
My thoughts.
This book was a great surprise
for me. When I started reading it, I never expected it could be so good. And of
course, I didn’t know it was sci- fi!
First of all, I’m a cover
lover. That way this book never caught my attention. And the name: The migliao?
What the hell it could be?
That why I was really happy
since the first pages. The author introduced me to Aniah’s world and the
horrible Mangitori de Sangue. Terrible creatures that try to destroy the
world and kill Aniah to ended up with the prophecy. Prophety in which her is
the savor the universe.
This story is about the travel
of Aniah, Novell (her incredible boyfriend) and Dyna (a half blood, Novell’s
sister) and their journey to find a way to destroy the Mangitori.
One of the things I liked the
most about The migliao is the switches in the POV. I prefer reading from Novell’s
POV. I have to be honest, If this book were only from Aniah’s POV I probably
would ended up really mad and boring.
Aniah’s a good character but I
hated her insecurities, and said “No!!! again, no!!!” everytime she was crying.
In the end she grow a little, but I really hope that in the next book she can discover
how strong she can be.
Novell is a sweetheart! I
started loving him since his first mention. He is strong and sweet and
protective. And he can handle all the weakness of his lovely girl.
The biggest surprise for me
was Jonahs. He was so good!
Well, after all, all I want to
said is that this book deserve a try. Maybe you, like me, don’t like the cover
but the story is better than that. For the first time I have to say DON’T JUDGE
A BOOK BY ITS COVER!
The ending of this one killed
me!! I hope I can read the next soon.
A great storyline, an amazing
plot, an incredible, a terrible world full of monsters. You won’t want put it
down once you start this travel.
About the author
At a very young age, Emma engrossed herself in stories of fantasy and
mystery. Stories such as such as Jack and The Beanstalk, Peter Pan, and the
Grimm Fairytales captured her attention and sent her into daydreams of other
worlds with horrible obstacles that needed to be overcome. She couldn’t get
enough mystery and adventure as she read about characters with strength and wit
that could change their worlds under incredible circumstances. They were given
magic or advice that helped them through their challenges, and Emma easily saw
how this courage could be related to every day life, as she dreamt of
courageous and adventurous ways out of her own obstacles in life. She seemed to
be attracted to films with horror and excitement, suspense and intrigue. At the
age of five, if you asked her what her favorite movies were, you’d be surprised
to hear the variety and culture of these films; The Labyrinth, It, Never-ending
Stories, Poltergeist and the Little Mermaid. As she got older, she never missed
an episode of X-files and the Outer Limits. She was a big Terry Brooks fan; she
began the Shannara series and after her homework was done, she would read until
bedtime.
