*******
first thing I have to say is that the book is soporific.
The author tries to sell us a novel argument that has as protagonists the Nephilim, children of human women and the Nephilim, which here present themselves as superior beings who dwell among mankind and are divided into two camps, the Guardians, which would be the "good guys "and the Sons of the Serpent to be his evil counterpart.
Far from the myth of the children of angels and humans, the Nephilim appear to us as beings of a superior breed who take advantage of the skills of making his most prominent human.
In this book we meet Sophie, a talented pianist who studied at a prestigious music school, a quiet girl, shy, withdrawn, you just fall in love concert with a mysterious who lives a brief encounter sensual Aurora will be born. Among
very long descriptions about the world of music, technical terms on piano and cello that gets to do the reading tedious and burdensome, the author introduces the fact that Sophie, left by Nathan, her daughter was raised until it reaches 7 years and a series of strange events begin to happen.
Sophie goes from being a dull girl, a strong woman and concerned about her daughter, which is immersed in a world of struggle between good and evil, which is full of lies, deceit, men fighting with swords and unexplained changes that happen his daughter, and she begins to speak several languages, can communicate with animals and wields an understanding for an adult.
After a series of twists and events, which end with the child with traumatic brain injury in the intensive care unit at the hospital so soon after waking as a child of 7 who does not remember anything at all all for what happened.
I said, soporific ...
My score: A 4 scraping. Without further comment.
