Oksa Pollock y el descubrimiento de Edefia by Cendrine Wolf, Anne Plichota
2.0
I read this when I was little and enjoyed it. Now I have nothing against books for kids being written in a simplistic way, but this one just overdigests everything way more than it needs too. It makes it a little cringy sometimes if read as an adult.
They spend pages and pages and A LOT MORE PAGES telling us (telling, not showing) about the lore and teaching us (literally teaching alongside the protagonist, in the most tedious ways) incountable names and magic stuff that make me feel I'm studying for a test, and then everytime anything happens, we have more pages of the characters telling us how shocked they are.
This book is longer than necessary yet I feel like I'm just reading the introduction (aka the first 25% of any book) (Also what happens with a lot of long sagas)
I let slide the holes in the characters, powers and story because books for children don't really require to be complete like that.
On the other hand Oksa and Gus are super wholesome and we stan Tugdual. Support your local satanist <3 I will be reading the rest of the saga, including Tugdual's.
OVERALL: You may like it if you are a nonjudgemental adult looking to log off life, and young ones will find Oksa really relatable.
Pd: How old is Oksa?? Whe start the story at 13, then it's her birthday and then she is still 13 what is going on there??
