Opinião:
Este é o terceiro e último livro da série Blood Inheritance . O segundo livro (que para mim foi o primeiro dado que não tive a oportunidade de ler o primeiro livro da série) foi lido numa manhã aborrecida num aeroporto e tinha-me aguçado o apetite para este último.

É um livro mais violento, e muito final. Teve cenas que podem não ser aconselhadas a pessoas mais sensíveis, sem sombra de dúvida. Posso dizer que houve bocados que só passei os olhos por alto, pois faziam demasiada impressão, mental e fisicamente. Se quiserem saber do que falo, leiam por vossa conta e risco.

Leisha, uma das personagens principais é violentamente torturada, com descrições relativamente pormenorizadas, que se prendem na nossa cabeça

Neste último livro encontramos personagens que se tornaram conhecidas e, tendo em conta que a história foi lida há quase um ano e ainda me lembro relativamente bem delas e do enredo, acho que podem ser consideradas marcantes. Leisha (a vampira), Tafari (o imortal), Rinwa (a filha imortal destes), Samantha (a serva humana de Leisha e amiga de toda a família), Nik (o vampiro e apaixonado de Samantha) e, por fim, a mais recente adição à família, o pequeno Liam, filho de Leisha e Tafari. Liam é a criança de uma profecia, é um ser que manifestou no mundo dos homens. Resumindo, é complicado. Muito mais inteligente, complexo, e mais velho que aparenta, Liam sabe tudo o que há para saber.

Gostei particularmente de saber a verdadeira história de Leisha e de Liam, dos vampiros e dos imortais. Mais uma vez, Samantha mostra uma coragem imensa e um amor profundo por todos aqueles que se tornaram na sua família. Liam e Sam foram as minhas personagens favoritas, mas o sarcasmo e ironia de Rinwa foi talvez o que aligeirou mais o livro.

O maior contra, para mim, foi a violência acrescida, que achei que era demasiada. A história perdeu por não avançar tanto mas antes ser composta de lutas e fugas e mais lutas e mais fugas.

Mas, apesar disso, como livro final, pareceu-me adequado, ainda que o fim da Samantha não me pareça ser o melhor, mas isso é apenas a minha opinião. Quanto ao resto das personagens, foi o fim indicado, talvez não o esperado ou o que o leitor queria, mas não deixou de ser um fim acertado.

Quando o acabei de ler, fiquei um pouco perdida quanto ao que pensava do livro, e quanto é que para mim ele era na nossa escala...e para ser sincera ainda continuo com algumas dúvidas. Acho que, apesar de tudo, fico aquém do anterior, mas não muito.

Review:
This is the third and last book of the Blood Inheritance trilogy. The second book (which was the first one I’ve read) was read in a dull morning, at an airport, and it made me want to read the next one.

This book was way more violent, and final. There are scenes which may not be completely appropriate for more sensitive people. I can honestly say that there’s bits where I just skipped things because they weren’t making me feel good. If you want to know what I’m talking about, read at your cost.

Leisha, one of the main characters, is violently tortured, and the description of such torture is very detailed and visual. They stick to your mind

In this last book, we find the characters that we’ve already met in the previous ones and, considering that it was read almost a year ago and I still remember the plot and such characters reasonably well, I think I can consider them as being striking characters. Leisha (the vampire), Tafari (the immortal), Rinwa (their daughter who is also an immortal), Samantha (Leisha’s human servant and friend to the whole family), Nik (the vampire and the one Samantha loves), and the latest addition to the family, young Liam, son of Leisha and Tafari. Liam is the prophecy child, and he’s a being from another world that was born in a world of men. In short, it’s complicated. He’s a very clever, very complex and much older child than he appears. Liam knows everything there is to know.

I particularly liked knowing Leisha and Liam’s true story, as well as the origins of the vampires and the immortals. Once again, Samantha shows an immense amount of courage, and a deep love for those that have become her family. Liam and Sam were my favourite characters, but Rinwa’s sarcasm and ironic comments were what lightened the book a bit.

The part I least liked was the added violence, I just thought it was too much. The plot lost pace because the story was just fighting and running and fighting and running some more.
However, as a final book, it seemed appropriate, even though I don’t believe that Samantha’s ending was the best, but that’s just me. About everything else (I’m trying not to give away much information), it was the probably the best ending for the characters. Maybe it wasn’t the one we were expecting or the one we wanted and were hoping for, but it still feels like it was the right ending.

When I finished the book, I felt a bit lost about what to think of it, and how much I would score it, etc.… And, to be honest, I still have some doubts. But I do believe that, because of the violence and repetition of actions that didn’t move forward with the story, it felt a bit shorter than the previous book. But just a bit.
