Book Reviews of El santuario
Book Review: Está bien, nada más.
Summary: 3 Stars
Tomo 9 de las Crónicas. Muy extraño. Interesante la anécdota, la historia mortal de Quinn, futuro vampiro, quien nunca había aparecido en la serie. Aquí se suma Petronia, también desconocida hasta el momento. Pero todo es muy factual, la mera narración de hechos. El tratamiento de los personajes es muy superficial. Le falta profundidad.
Y al igual que el anterior de la serie (Sangre y Oro), sigue careciendo de la fascinación que tenía la lectura de los textos de Anne Rice, sobre todo los seis primeros de las Crónicas Vampíricas. Es más, hasta parece escrito por otra persona, diferente estilo. Interminables y reiteradas descripciones de vestidos y zapatos de taco alto, a cada rato, tanta redundancia, ¿qué es eso?
Mezcla a Lestat en un rol secundario de oyente, con Merrick en otro muy breve y termina en apoteósico final de redención cristiana, poco creíble e incompatible con los personajes que ya conocemos. ¿Lestat tomando la ostia y viendo la luz? ¿Cristo salvador?
Esto debe tener mucho que ver con la conversión religiosa que procesó Rice en este período. Pero Rice debe guardar sus convicciones religiosas para su vida privada y no forzarla en sus personajes.
Summary of El santuario
Quinn Blackwood, a sexy and eccentric gentleman-turned-vampire, has been haunted by Goblin all his life. A doppelgänger no one else can see, Goblin's power grows with each drop of blood that Quinn unwillingly drinks. Quinn's only hope of liberation from his increasingly dangerous alter ego is to find the legendary vampire Lestat.
