have youever read a book and said, "FOR FUCKS SAKE HOW FUCKING DENSE CAN YOU BE YOU STUPID PIECE OF SHIT YOU ARE DUMBER THAN A FUCKING ROCK"

this is how i felt reading Rowan of Rin

there is a witch in this series, and she is constantly frustrated because everyone around her are stupid pieces of shit. she is the only reason i put up with the books because i felt what she must feel.

she was constrained by her magic to give the "heroes" vague predictions of the future, and every time she did, what the stupid heads did? oh they said "that makes no sense, lets do the absolute contrary to whatever the song said"

after two, three times proved that the songs gave them guidance on their quest did they decided to take them into consideration?

oh no, show more not that, the witch is dumb and mean, and she wants to trick us with stupid songs, lets not do what she said

and then they fear them because she gets mad every time they come asking for help

and the hero, oh, the hero is the worst of all, this fucking piece of shit with a brain smaller than a bee's had to follow her songs for 5 different books, do you think he would ever learn to trust them and figure what they meant? NO, HE DIDN'T

and that ends my review of Rowan of Rin, 10/10

A aldeia de Rin passa por uma onda de frio jamais vista. O vale está totalmente coberto por uma grossa camada de neve e o vento gelado, que vem da Montanha, castiga os aldeões. O mais estranho de tudo é que a primavera já deveria ter chegado. Com o estoque de comida quase no fim, os moradores decidem deixar a aldeia e partem para o litoral, em busca da ajuda dos amigos da cidade de Maris e da tribo dos viajantes. Rowan é um dos poucos a permanecer. Ele precisa cumprir sua tarefa de guardião dos bukshas, que também estão sofrendo com o inverno sem-fim. Quando a verdade sobre o clima vem à tona, Rowan se vê diante do maior desafio de sua vida. Ele terá de enfrentar as mais terríveis criaturas, para defender tudo o que mais ama show more - sua aldeia, seu povo e seus protegidos, os bukshas. Será que o misterioso 'presente' que Sheba lhe deu poderá ajudá-lo? « Menos show less
Una asamblea de urgencia acaba de ser convocada en Rin. De pie, con semblante preocupado, Lann, el líder de la aldea, se dirige a todos con firmeza: el frío les ha dejado sin provisiones y deben encontrar una solución antes de que el hambre cause estragos en el pueblo. Nunca un invierno había durado tanto, y algunos aldeanos piensan que puede tratarse de una maldición de la Montaña.
