Nihal della terra del vento by Licia Troisi

galexie64's review against another edition

2.0

I really though the book started off well. The character was developing into what I thought would be a really well developed character. Then she grew older and became very annoying. She is either killing someone or having a crying temper tantrum. As the book goes on Nihal becomes more full of herself and alienates all her friends. Also her obsession with Fen gets really old.

I really thought the story could have had a lot of potential but I was disappointed. I don't really fit in the demographics of this book but I really kept an open mind. I had no problem with the love interests and the fact that Nihal was a teenage girl. There were times when I wanted to yell at Nihal because she is just so shallow and thickheaded.

Rereading a favourite of when I was younger, maybe 13 or 14? I think this is the first fantasy series I read, and I was hooked. The world building is lovely, just as vivid as I remembered. Nihal is kind of an exhausting main character; she's going through the same psychological motion for 3/4 of the book. Especially the not talking and just leaving everything behind is Very Frustrating, because she does it constantly. I hope her personal arch gets better in part 2.

Mi sarebbe piaciuto di più da bambina, ma anche da adulta mi sono divertita con questo libro avventuroso con tanti personaggi amabili!

I received a copy via NetGalley from the publisher for an honest review.

Since it was originally written in Italian, the translation was a little off, but for me it was okay. The plot was interesting, I loved the story world, how I felt about the character's were a little confusing.

Nihal was one of my least favorite characters, the things she said, did, and thought put me off. I feel like her father lets her get off to easily with everything she does, I found myself yelling at him in the beginning to be an actual father and punish her, maybe she would learn her lesson. I don't understand how she became a good sword fighter at the age of thirteen with absolutely no training.

The one character I did love was Senner. I think I might be the only one who agreed with what he said about she should of asked him if he does magic when he defeated her for her sword/dagger. If he was the main character, I just might read the next, because I did like some parts of the story, especially from his point of view.

Even though I didn't like it, I feel as though others could like/love it, so I could recommend it.
