criticism "pact of witches" by Kelley Armstrong is the fourth installment of the series "Women of the Otherworld". Armstrong's protagonists are mostly women, which must appear in the stories of her husband. Whereas in the first two novels, female werewolves, Funny in the third and fourth part of Paige Winterbourne in their Being a witch, the main role in the fifth part is Eve, the deceased mother of Savannah, as a spirit guide the destinies. is certainly "pact of witches' independent from the other parts to read, but I recommend it to start with Volume 1 because all the protagonists, female and male, in almost all books sometimes even play a supporting role. Some dialogue and flashbacks are only saying so to the reader, if he can understand the past of the characters. Just something difficult and tense relationship between Lucas and his father Benicio found in Volume 3, a first statement, which will be intensified in this issue further. Lucas in the shelter and shade of his powerful father grew white to the structures and laws of the mage clans, but sees injustice in many situations that represent the entire system for his eyes as untrustworthy.
His father, however, holds the rebellious behavior of his favorite son to more youthful exuberance supported him financially and also hindered him. In Kelley Armstrong's magical world, of course, as in real people's lives but not without confrontations. On the one hand are the magicians who are arrogant and seemingly self-confident as leaders and thinkers, to exist alongside the witches that compete with the magicians since the early days, but from various fears can not gain ground, within this world then play necromancer, shaman, druid, and also demons that serve mostly with the Magi. Just off of it and responsible for themselves, the vampires and werewolves separate from the other groups and have their own problems. Even as a minority and the "extinction" at risk, they do not participate in the Vorherrschaftskämpfen and magical conflicts over economic and political power. It recognizes, Kelley Armstrong's magical world is complex and very complicated, which increases in the actions of individual novels, the excitement and variety very forward.
"Pact of Witches" is a magical thriller, with many different approaches, what the protagonist is expected to be positive. Each species has her own abilities and characteristics, and self-created human problems. Paige Winterbourne, a young but talented witch is rather arrogant and short-tempered, while her boyfriend Lucas as a magician, tries to calmly and objectively, to defuse the situation. A blend as a duo, which compensates beautifully and completed. But it is not without potential for conflict in the relationship. Paige's daughter has drawn enormous, magical potential, which she owes to her dead mother Eve, but with her young years and still far from completed training, she offers a light and highly regarded destination for some buyers. The author Kelley Armstrong has in the novel "pact of witches" of the tension that already in the third part can consistently stable and even rising was to give a further push forward. Because the characters and their individual stories deepen further and further, does the claim and the voltage and linear to grow. While there is always the same inner circle of paranormal people and there are always some of those, but there are also victims, according to their (un) natural death, probably not rise again. "pact of witches" is often exciting to surprise and white. In this Thriller, with its fantastic elements, the reader follows the murders of a serial killer and the paranormal investigations of our two protagonists blessed with magical powers. The reader should still try to identify either the perpetrators themselves, but from ignorance of the non-human suspects can not succeed at all. Despite everything, the voltage increases, for action is often taken care of and as a special treat is the humor certainly not too short. Paige's a little quick tempered and narrative perspective, as it cynically funny, as well as coordinated response to the situation. The novel is indeed a self-contained novel, but you know as a reader after the last page, that it still must go on. Just the family relationships within the clan of Cortez is a lot of leeway and ideas for future projects.
Kelley Armstrong writes amazingly fresh and fluid, it does not keep long in descriptions, but is very particular about tingling, cynical dialogue and increasing voltage. The novel should, and I highly recommend, will not read the first book in the series, the previous titles - "Night of the Witches" - in which the witch Paige plays the main role should be at least read about. Better yet, it starts right with the two novels, "Blood of the Wolf" and "return of the wolf", it's because this is the beginning of the magical saga. Thus the reader is assured that he for some people to show up there, just as the werewolves, already know and have learned to love.
