Éden - Parte 2

by J. Sharpe, Iolanda Cândido (Translator)

Você sobreviverá à uma nova praga? 

Anjos: eles estão entre nós. Eu sei. Há um preso dentro de mim. Mas a imagem que você provavelmente tem desses "ajudantes de Deus" é errada, posso garantir. Eles são uns maníacos idiotas. 

Anna Meisner acorda, nua e com medo, amarrada a uma cadeira em um quarto escuro. À frente dela está sentada uma mulher que é a sua cara. Com lágrimas nos olhos, a mulher coloca uma arma na cabeça e se mata. Anna não é encontrada até dias depois e em estado de hipotermia, à beira da morte. Mas quando ela acorda no hospital, ela descobre que o policial não a vê como vítima, mas como suspeita. É o começo de uma série de eventos catastróficos do qual ela não tem escolha a não ser fazer parte. É esse o fim da humanidade?

Ok, that was too fast to come to an end
I love this part 2 from the first page as much as part 1. And then that ending disappoint me.
ーーー
I was expecting more...
Spoiler alert 🚫
Like how Anna and Abel get to Adam, how to win Adam back without getting the true intention of God yet, and their adventure before they arrived at the garden of peace (the garden of Eden).
I think there's more the author need to tell about this story.
I still didn't get the answer to how Anna get herself tied, naked, and lost 2 year of her memory at the very first story in part 1.
It feels like he finish this book in a hurry. He even mistakingly write Abel's eyes from bright blue to chocolate brown!
ーーー
I like his concept, I still drawn to it but I do hope he made this into a duology or maybe a trilogy to make the story more... I don't know... whole? I would really loved that!

This book includes parts 2-4 (this is the final book). We quickly find out what has happened from book 1 and why. This book feels very different from book 1 in terms of pacing and mood. It's been months later since book 1 happened. We also get a POV of another character here, which is interesting. The ending of this book though is pretty abrupt. Satisfying in a way, but not enough for an ending. I wish there was an epilogue or something more! It was a cool ending but lacked something. Overall, fun, easy read. I enjoyed it!

Realmente me sorprendió este libro que encontré por casualidad en Kindle. Fue muy entretenido, me mantuvo siempre con la intriga de qué sucedía y cómo se desarrollarían las cosas. El final no me gustó mucho, ya que sentí que fue muy simple después de todo el desarrollo de la historia, pero me dejó satisfecha.

Honestamente, não vejo como o autor poderia emendar numa continuação os trocentos plots que ele apresentou nesse livro. O inicio do livro empolga. Mas os sinais de decepção não demoram a aparecer. Uma pena
