Molto in breve, questo romanzo mi è piaciuto tanto. L'ho divorato in due giorni di lettura intensa. L'ambientazione storica fa da sfondo ad una trama originale ed interessante, della quale sentivo decisamente il bisogno! Questa lettura è stata capace di spezzare il sortilegio della -come definita da ... (

Heart-wrenching and yet perfect ending to one of the most well-written, entertaining, enticing and unputdownable series I've ever read!
A bitter, harsh ending thay says more than words actually tell. There's a message in these pages, and it's a fraightening one.
Collins handwriting is amazingly flu ... (continue ) -

Who-a! What a blast!
Fast paced, full of adventure, heart-searing with suspense and unexpected events, with a gut twisting ending that will make me pick up the third volume the moment I get home! -

Very nice, extremely entertaining novel! I really enjoyed this reading. Well written and plotted, the first-person point of view makes it even more enticing!
Almost un-put-downable, had I not a huge pile of books I just received or bought, I would go straight to the bookstore and buy the second volu ... (continue ) -

So far, my favourite of the saga.
Extremely rich both in plot and surprises, I grieved and angered with some of the characters, cheered and hoped with some others.
A great work from Master Martin. -

There is not much to say, really.
I just LOVE the characters for the Black Jewels series, and love the short stories Bishop is able to weave.
Lucivar and Daemon are my all time favourites, but I was glad of the place Surreal had in the two longest stories of the four, as she's my favourite female ch ... (continue ) -

Un libro assai meno impegnativo di quanto non sia il più noto "Nessun Dove", dello stesso autore, ma davvero godibilissimo. Contiene peraltro una serie di trovate geniali che portano indiscutibilmente la firma di Gaiman, unitamente a personaggi indimenticabili ed una trama originalissima.

I've had this book in my wish list for a month. And then I gave up and bought it, seeing as so many good reviews kept blossoming. That was a double-edged knife, though: so many good reviews meant if I didn't like the book, it would be a double disappointment.
Instead, I loved The Archived.
Schwab constructed an amazingly imaginative world, where modern and fantasy mingle, tinted in dark, shiny shades. A book worth Neil Gaiman's hug, a book which can compete with Garth Nyx's Old Kingdom's trilogy. Well written, enticing, it kept me glued for 24 hours, and even when I couldn't read, the world of the Outer, the Narrows and the Archive stayed with me, like I was roaming it too along with Mac.
The characters are believable, well constructed. The writing is fast-paced, keeps you reading despite yourself.
The only criticism I could move -If I can even call it that- is that the book is too short, the plot too fast. It doesn't last long enough and makes you want more.
Now, while there seem to be room for a second book, the ending does conclude the narrative plot of the book. I wouldn't mind reading a second book, meeting Mac and Wes again, going back to the Archive to chat with Roland. But Schwab closed all the open questions, and she would have to be very, very good at opening new ones that were believable and as enticing, and still make the book gripping. Not an easy task.
Anyway, this has been one of the best books I've read in years, and I haven't been so glued to one since I read The Hunger Games trilogy last year.
A thousand times recommended!
