The story has gotten darker, Phobos is a cruel man. It was fun rereading it!

[Maggie]

In this one we get to see a bit more of Meridian (dangerous rose gardens and uprisings) and focus a lot on Will. Once again great.

Pobre Daltar 😔

La historia de las rosas negras es conmovedora 😭 <3 Me recordó a Elías, el pintor que encerraron en su propio cuadro 🖼️
Me encanta la sutileza del Oráculo: nos da a entender que, a pesar de que nuestras brujitas solo deben ocuparse de la muralla y ya, agradece que vayan en contra de las normas por bondad, ya que ellas quieren ayudar también ✨
Ya me queda poquito para terminar la primera temporada y estoy de los nervios. ¡No pensé que me fuera a gustar tanto esta saga! Voy a tener que comprarme los libros hehehehe.

Hoy me está cayendo mejor Cornelia. La veía como la típica niña mimada que siempre tiene que tener razón y un poco egocéntrica. Pero es cierto que no lo vi desde su punto de vista: su enemiga es su ex mejor amiga. Me está gustando mucho ver este lado soft de Corny y espero poder verlo más a pesar de su (un poco) frío carácter 💚💚💚

Debería de irme a estudiar pero voy a leerme un tomo más, no puedo dejar de leer.

4.5/5*
i really like this one, we get to see more of phobos' twisted mind through his horrifying black roses garden and how it began? jesus, i hate him!!
also, cedric going "in phobos' name, i order you to give me kandrakar's heart, guardian!" like?? lmfao did he really thought that would work/had any actual meaning?? he is so focused on falling into phobos' good graces that he becomes so dumb sometimes lol

5/5

W.I.T.C.H es una serie de fantasía que nos presenta a cinco amigas y a las aventuras y misterios que vivirán. Este libro trae los volúmenes 6 al 10 de la serie:

D'illusioni e di bugie
Un giorno lo incontrerai
Le rose nere di Meridian
I quattro draghi
Un ponte tra due mondi


Todos con cinco estrellas porque no se merece menos. Es una historia brillante, simple de leer y que te mantiene curiosa en la trama.

Ahora sí empiezo a notar la profundidad en cada uno de los personajes. La relación con los padres, cómo la princesa investiga para decidir si formar parte de la rebelión, la crueldad con las rosas negras y el triste jardinero. Se están abriendo cada vez más capas y eso me gusta.

En realidad leí Rosa Negra nada es lo que parece de Cynthia Jiménez y puedo decir que este dark romance termino en un ritual y que me gusti con conciencia

I really do remember the majority of the front covers and inner covers from the episodes but this one is really meaningful to me because I was so in love by the image of Will and the Dormouse the first time I saw it that I bought the 8 physical issues, which had already been launched, at once and read them so fast that I stayed super sad because I'll have to wait 15 days to get the next number at my bookstore!

Because of this, I can clearly remember this issue and all the obsession that came along with it.


Now, rereading it, I still love this episode. The story line focus the relationship between Will and her mom and for some points it's really frustrating but at others it's really sad and touching.
Also, we have plenty moments with the Dormouse - that I adore since ever! - and we get to meet Daltar, a gardener that takes care of prince Phobos' garden and who became a great ally of Will.

Rereading this after so many years.

The story focuses on Will's relationship with her mother. Looking back now that I'm more mature than the first time I read this, I realized that Will was actually quite stubborn. I guess it's teenage angst that is responsible for Will's behavior. She is answering her mother when she lectures her. After only a few exchange of not-so-hurtful words, Will would walk out or go into her room and slam the door. I guess I don't like that attitude now, more like it's exaggerated.
