Hex

Product Information

it’s not a perfect book - again, the characters are just there to move the plot along, there’s a sexual assault in the jail that seems unlikely and gratuitous, and it doesn’t quite commit to exploring all the doors of its own reveal, but it’s winky-clever and surprising and it just explodes into smalltown mass-panic chaos at the end like stephen king writing salem directed by michael bay.

Brutalidad, fanatismo, supersticiones, ambientación sobrenatural con una atmósfera oscura y decadente. Eso y más en Hex. Ni se transmite lo extraordinario que es su encuentro ni se específica claramente cómo es posible que algo tan increíble haya ocurrido. Iris es simplemente una excusa para que Geillis pueda darnos su testimonio. Hay datos que se repiten, desapego emocional en la narración y falta de profundidad en los personajes. En más de una ocasión, me dio la sensación de que la autora daba por hecho que teníamos que saber ciertos detalles de antemano. La familia de Geillis apenas es mencionada y el papel de sus agresores es difuso. Queda claro cómo fue el ataque que sufrió, el cual es totalmente injustificable, pero se da a entender que fue algo que se gestó con anterioridad a raíz de una serie de sucesos. Me hubiera gustado saber mejor el trasfondo de lo que sucedió y cómo esos malnacidos consiguieron que nadie condenara sus actos.Essie Winterscale lives in a huge and ever-changing house in the village of Good Winter, in deepest, darkest Essex. She lives with various witches of various ages, one of whom is still a bit salty about being hanged in the 1700s, one who keeps accidentally casting fertility spells, and one who knits things that create the future. Quien vive allí tiene que aprender a convivir con ella, no hay otra. Algo que llevan arrastrando desde hace nada menos que 350 años. Obviously I can't comment on that decision because I haven't read the original Dutch version of Hex. I didn't particularly feel that the US setting added anything to the story, and that might of course be because I'm Canadian, but I don't think so. As I said above, what makes the book scary is the interaction between the supernatural and human nature, and that would be the same regardless of the setting.

When she is summoned to the palace to help the princess sleep, her dream turns into a nightmare and her blessing becomes a curse.Thomas Olde Heuvelt is obsessed with nipples. There are so many damn nipples in this book. Gross rotting witch's nipples, creepy sexual assault nipples, giant metaphorical nipples. The nipples of a teenage boy are also described in detail at one point. This dude LOVES (or possibly is deeply terrified of?) nipples. Contada en presente y en primera persona se centra en hablar sobre las injusticias que vivimos las mujeres, tanto en la época de Geillis como en la de Iris, especialmente en cuanto a los roles que se nos ha obligado a asumir a lo largo de la historia, a las consecuencias que tiene salirse de ellos y al abuso por parte de los hombres. Los personajes hay de todo, muchos es para meterles una galleta en toda la cara. Otros prefieres que se encarge la bruja.

It started out really good and creepy with the witch just randomly showing up in people's houses just standing there with her eyes and mouth sewn shut and her arms chained to her sides. I would freak clean out. BUT, it just didn't go anywhere for me and I didn't like some of the stuff in the book and that's about it. where do I even start with this? I'm utterly heartbroken, enraged and completely bawling at this novella. Somewhere around the middle--the story also began to drag a bit. But I was invested in the characters (especially Tyler) so I kept going. Trata de eso el libro y sus reflexiones. La bruja en este caso es un detonante ante lo que nos volvemos verdaderos imbéciles sin piedad.It's set in a small town that kind of reminded me of that movie..The Village. Once you live there you can't leave. (that movie didn't scared nothing by the way) With the Hex Color as your ally, a world of color opens before you.

Mi problema fue el estilo narrativo del autor no lo encontré cómodo para sumergirme en toda la trama, el pueblo y los personajes. Sobretodo las repeticiones. Por ello ha sido un mitad sí, mitad no. This is such an intelligently written novel. The story delves into themes surrounding fear, which is a powerful and dangerous motivation. The author also plays with the usual tropes of the horror genre by placing this haunted town in a ultra modern world, where Youtube and GoPros are commonplace. This is a refreshing change from traditional horror stories, where the electricity and phones always seem to fail at the most inconvenient times. The witch will show up at any time in any place in the village. If she chooses to stand at the end of your bed in the middle of the night and watch you sleep, well - you’ll try and have a good night! But then again: she can’t really watch you, because her eyes and mouth are sewn shut.
