Galadir frowned, looking at her. «I don't need stars to see you, Morwen.»
She turned instinctively toward him, caught by those words.
Galadir laid his hand on hers and an electric shock struck the woman, who froze to the contact. «It could be the total darkness, but I'll find your eyes anyway,» continued the young man. He took her other hand, turning her completely over to him. «I might be blind, but I'll find you following your perfume.»
"Here I am to talk about a new series of the fantasy genre, written by a young Italian newcomer that makes us know The awakening of the Fine, the first book in the series The Queen of the Underworld.
The protagonist of the story is Morwen, a girl looking very physically attractive, with long black hair, an ethereal and delicate complexion, and with the distinction of having the eyes like bright pink diamonds.
Morwen was tapped to become the Heir, the Queen of the Underworld who will rule on all the eight Gods, who rule over the territories, which constitute the great land of Penthànweald.
But she doesn't accept this fate and, for many years, she hides in one of these territories - The Land of Men - while the Protègès - humans with special characteristics, each subjected to his God (or Goddess) - give her hunting throughout the Kingdom.
Until, one day, Morwen is called by the King of the Land of Men, which requires her help to free his homeland from the threat of Lash, the Goddess of the Crystals. At first, Morwen doesn't agree to give her help, for fear of being found by the Protègès, but stuck after a futile bet with the attractive Prince, son of the King, Galadir, she begins with him and her trustworthy Hurrichein - powerful and only Black Winged Horse, Lord of the Underworld, an important character in the story, like Morwen and Galadir - a journey to search the Five Crystals hidden in the neighboring Kingdoms, with which they may be able to kill the Goddess.
A fantastic trip with beautiful scenery, mysterious and always varied, simple characters but always direct, and unique and original places. Morwen, for example, encloses in herself aspects of character different and contrasting between them. She is brutal, cruel and cynical with an innately sensual almost unconscious, but with the progress of the story, you discover new facets of she as the fear and love for others, enough to make her careless and inattentive during her mission.
Galadir appears immediatly as a strong guy and sure of himself, born to be a Prince and a soldier worthy of the Kingdom. Faced with the harsh and ruthless Morwen, he never waver, contrary he has been urged by his strong ego to win her. The relationship that borns and grows between the Prince Galadir and Morwen , is put in evidence; a intriguing and exciting love, without too many tricks or turns of phrase, simple and straightforward: I want you, you want me. A love that passes from the pure sweetness to obsession, touching a deep climax.
Wanting to criticize, I'll make only two small small: in my opinion, being a book to debut a new series that, if the results go well, will be made of four episodes, the cover would have been a little most studied, so as to make it prettier and less angular, but in fact fully reflects the characteristics of the protagonists, but looking at first glance I thought "ugly". And then the repetition a little often of the feature descriptive of the eyes of the protagonist, that ultimately may seem superfluous and a bit annoying.
But I must say that the author managed to whet my curiosity. Some secret is out and the waiting for others has put in motion the expectations for the next adventure, which I sincerely hope not late in coming. Congratulations Chiara."
