Oi, amigos! Há uma semana, recebi o livro Slave, da autora VS Williams, para review. Thank you so much, Susan!! I loved your book!
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Oh, I got totally enchanted by this novel! It’s not only a well written good and evil battle or a love and hate fantasy, but an awesome journey from the realistic world to a disturbing dreaming/nightmare tale.
Slave invites us to follow Eve’s everyday life, in the real London, 2003. Eve (yes, she is exactly the modern personification of the one you are thinking about!) is just a simple girl, whose brilliance is veiled in a dreadful society. Her life is just a flow of weird people, strange places and narrow and empty men. Rufus, her mysterious cat, seems to be the only being on Earth who is capable to understand her. In this strange world, Eve is always in search of her true self and some joy, but happiness seems something she will have to fight for. Besides that, she must met her ‘missing half’ to live a complete and perfect existence, but of course she hasn’t realized that, till her life being in danger. On the other hand, her half cannot just appear and present himself. Eve must make a choice and what she chooses can really change her life forever.
Here, VS Williams creates a world of art for us. This novel is a ‘one seat reading’, because it involves us in to a stream of situations and emotions we cannot put aside. We catch ourselves loving the different, weird characters, and hating them with the same intensity. The marvelous self-centered society is a place that seems dystopian, but we suddenly find out that it is truly and pure reality. All those feelings, all those dichotomies and paradigmatic universes, drive us through an exciting novel, a must-read literature and a will for a bit more.
Congratulations, dear VS Williams! Slave is a masterpiece!
