Honestly, I was expecting to go into this and hate it. I thought it was going to be very YA, and just not something I would get into. I ended up loving this and I am already almost half way through the second book in the series.

I am really enjoying how quick these are as well, as I think they are great reads when you want something short and sweet. They have kept my interest so far, and I am excited to continue the series.

I cannot wait to see what other secrets unravel in the series. I am sad to see what the whole series does not appear to be on audio. I will probably leave the rest for when I want something quick and fun to help pull me out of slumps.

A little more build up for the next books with this one. Not as good as the previous, but still decent. Excited to continue, but sad this is the last on audio!

This one had so much more going on. I flew through it. On to the next. ( )

I want to see what will happen next so badly!!! I so want Bree and Morgan to try and be friends again and I want Morgan to be with Hunter! There is something so wrong with Cal and his mom!
God!!! I was right!! I just finished book 4: Dark Magick and I was so on the edge of my seat! I'm reading book 5 now: Awakening. I really want to see what will happen next!
I finished reading Awakening book 5 in Sweep 2 and I loved it!! Hunter is so great!!!! I love that he loves Morgan even though she might hate me and treats him meanly! I so want to see what will happen on the last part (book 6) on sweep 2: Spellbound!!! :)

‎[Tuesday, ‎July ‎2, ‎2013] The ending was so powerful and surprising... *spoiler* I can't believe Cal and Selene died at the end. ( )

Two words. Hunter Niall. Love him. These books employ such excellent characterization that it's hard to remember I don't actually know these people. Add to that Tiernan's thoroughly researched use of Wiccan philosophies and I was hooked. I've read these three books about three times now and still love them. ( )

RATING: 2.5 stars.

Neste segundo volume da série "Sweep" ou "Wicca", que agrega os livros 4, 5 e 6, continuamos a seguir as aventuras de Morgan Rowlands uma bruxa de sangue cujo clã - os Woodbane - tinha dos bruxos mais negros da história até alguns se terem reformado.

Mas se alguns Woodbane se reformaram o mesmo não se pode dizer de outros. Traída pelo seu namorado Cal, também ele um Woodbane, Morgan tem agora de aprender a viver com o facto de ter sido enganada. Tem também de tentar resistir à perigosa atracção que sente por Hunter, um Caçador de magos negros enviado pelo Concelho Internacional das Bruxas para apanhar Cal e a sua mãe, Selene. E ainda com o perigo que a própria Selene representa, pois esta impiedosa bruxa quer o poder de Morgan e fará tudo para o conseguir.

Devem estar a perguntar-se porque é que esta opinião está em português. Bem, na verdade, achei que seria um livro apelativo para os leitores nacionais, uma vez que tem elementos em comum com a saga Harry Potter (da britânica J.K. Rowling) e com os livros do Círculo Secreto da L.J. Smith (podem consultar a minha opinião desta série aqui) para já não falar com as parecenças que tem com Hex Hall de Rachel Hawkins. E além disso já escrevi uma mini-opinião do primeiro volume.

Esta série de Cate Tiernan constitui uma leitura agradável. O primeiro volume foi interessante porque Morgan descobre que é uma bruxa e começa a praticar feitiços e a fazer poções e cremes, mas neste segundo temos um incremento no nível da acção que irá certamente agradar aos leitores. O romance entre Morgan e Hunter também se desenvolve de forma mais gradual e realista do que o que temos no primeiro volume.

O segundo volume traz também o culminar do enredo que vem já a desenvolver-se desde o primeiro livro. Aliás, penso que estes seis livros, bem editados podiam perfeitamente ser transformados apenas num, uma vez que lidam com a mesma história. Se tivesse comprado estes livros em separado (cada um com as suas 150 páginas) ter-me-ia sentido algo burlada pois cada uma das obras é muito pequena e não tem história suficiente para que o leitor se sinta satisfeito com a sua leitura (é necessário lê-los a todos para que haja um final definido).

No geral, este livro foi interessante. Gostei da forma como a autora explorou o seu 'sistema de magia' e o mundo da Wicca. As personagens não são particularmente memoráveis mas também não são do tipo de protagonistas que nos irritam. Recomendado para fans de séries como Hex Hall e mesmo Harry Potter (apesar dos livros de Cate Tiernan não serem tão complexos ao nível da história e das personagens).

Mini-Review: just like the first, this second bind-up was... entertaining. Still don't know how the author managed to sell each book as a stand alone. There is just not enough 'story' in any of the three books contained in this omnibus to make for a satisfying solo read. ( )
