A Prayer for the Necromancer es la primera entrega de la serie The Shinigami Tomes, de C. Wain, tiene muchos elementos interesantes y atractivos, sin embargo, falla en cuestiones de desarrollo.

Kaze descubre no solo que los Blood Tomes, grimorios que contienen los secretos de la magia de su familia, pueden caer en manos malintencionadas, sino también que una conspiración está a raya para derrocar a los shinigamis. ¿La razón? Deidades sedientas de sangre.
Aunque suena interesante, A Prayer for the Necromancer apunta demasiado alto en poco tiempo, e intenta impresionar tan pronto como aparece algo nuevo sin dar al lector el tiempo suficiente para familiarizarse con el resto del universo. Comprendí el impacto de, por ejemplo, la magia de sangre y el tipo de habilidades que Kaze usa cuando lucha, pero solo porque seguí leyendo.
C. Wain tuvo muchas buenas ideas y creó una buena base para lo que podría haber sido una mejor historia, la verdad sea dicha, pero siguió agregando y agregando tantos elementos y vocabulario en tan poco tiempo que confunde al lector. Tenía buenas intenciones, la historia es buena y atractiva, pero debe editarse más en términos de desarrollo y escritura, ya que también hay frases repetitivas que molestan al leer.
¡Un saludo y un abrazo!
A Prayer
for the Necromancer is the first installment in The Shinigami Tomes series, by
C. Wain, has a lot of interesting and attractive elements, however, it fails in
development matters.
This book
tells us the story of Kaze Niss, the last one of the infamous Niss family of
necromancers, who were able to use black and blood magic, along with their connections
with the Gods of Death, the shinigamis of Blacuir. He is determined to avenge
his family and discover what is happening in in the kingdom he once lived in.
Kaze
discovers not only that the Blood Tomes, grimoires that contain the secrets of
his family’s magic, may fall on malicious hands, but also that a conspiracy is at bay
to overthrown the shinigamis themselves. The reason? Blood-thirsty deities.
Although it
sounds interesting, A Prayer for the Necromancer aims too high in little time,
and tries to impress as soon as something new appears without giving the reader
enough time to be familiar with the rest of the universe. I understood the
impact of, for example, blood magic and the kind of abilities Kaze uses when he
fights, but only because I kept reading.
C. Wain had
a lot of good ideas and created a good base for what could have been a better
story, truth be told, but he kept on adding and adding so much elements and
vocabulary in so little time that it confuses the reader. He meant well, the
story is good and appealing, but needs to be further edited in terms of development and writing, for there are also repetitive phrases that bother
while reading.
Greetings and hugs!
