Congratulations On Your New Baby In French

The Keeper of Secrets, Iñesta Carolina Quesada (review)

finished reading this book a week ago and have not assumed that history has ended. I still feel that is more book, not because the end does not meet expectations, no, but because it is one of those novels that leaves you wanting more.

But hey, do not get ahead of ourselves, first things first: what book is and what goes?

"Keeper of Secrets"
Iñesta Carolina Quesada

Synopsis

A hidden treasure in the eyes of the world. A dangerous curse and a true debate.

late sixteenth century, an ancient treasure from a noble family of the east, Bathory, reaches the hands of the old ultra-Catholic League in Europe, where politicians and influential military noble knights. Seeing the danger and threat to their interests is the object, trying, unsuccessfully, to destroy it.

Currently, Anna is a young college student in the midst of existential crisis. A girl of his time, at first, very normal. Until a cold February night in the city of Florence, a strange young man, as attractive as mysterious bursts into life with surprising and unexpected news.

What
leads Anna to take her hand and, at that moment with him away from Florence?

The Keeper of Secrets actually encloses two stories that, although occurring at different times, united by a common purpose and inter-related characters.
The main plot is at present, with Anna and Thomas main protagonists and a number of children that have nothing to envy because, in general, own light shine.
other hand we have the story of the intrepid Rasalhague Turkish warrior and knight Pierre Delacroix. History held back centuries, we know through Anna, and through which the young discover that you have in your hands an important and dangerous mission .
Since then, both Anna and Thomas will be involved in a race against time filled with many obstacles in the form of riddles the style of "The Da Vinci Code" and persecution to achieve a common goal: obtaining and protecting a valuable treasure ... and conservation of their own lives.
Along the characters, the reader will travel Florence, France and Spain on an exciting journey that will make it very difficult to stop reading until he discovered the great secret that holds the treasure, now known as rabid curiosity of the existence of a zodiac sign so far ignored, the enigmatic Ophiuchus and the answer to one of the enigmas that the novel asks:

"What is greater than the time and death?"


personal opinion

I have been one of those readers who have not had a thousand things that I interrupted the reading, there would be releasing the book until the end.
know I'm not the first that has been compared to " The Da Vinci Code" by Dan Brown, but I do want to point out that in the good sense, referring to " The Keeper of Secrets " meets ; good things of this best seller (the parts of the riddles and resolution, and the interesting historical part ) and ignores all the "straw" that Brown's book has to fill. Carolina
Iñesta know what who wants to tell and no-nonsense ; realize how important what the reader needs and what the reader wants to know.

The main features of the book highlight the very extensive documentation work done by the author, something that is noticed and appreciated, and the care and concern that has developed with each of the characters, characters come alive, understand the reasons for which (the share or not) and give the feeling of having a past and a present, if any, rather than being mere figures of board to be directed back and forth. Some of you will want, others you'll love to hate them, but all are quite believable, both primary and secondary.

Another thing that struck me favorably was writing correction. The author never makes sense that it is a novel writer, no one could say "The Keeper of Secrets" is his first published book, and that is something that is also appreciated. This novel is a good example of that "novice writer" or "first book" need not be synonymous with "bad writer" or "work better."
In my opinion, this work is round, from the story itself to form, both the content and the continent (Special mention to the beautiful and striking cover).

Finally, I also liked the fact that part of the action takes place in Spain because sometimes it seems like in the movies and books there is only the United States or England. (Anda that it would not be much easier to King Kong climbing the Kio Towers, Madrid! Do not you?)

In short:
" The Keeper of Secrets "contains an interesting history and original with carefully crafted characters to empathize with immediately (that Thomas, who plays hard to get halfway through the book and leaves us longing for his return for pages and pages), narrated action so you do not have anything to envy writers more works published, with descriptions make you part of it or "see" what happens as if it were a movie.

A little gem in the literature that no lover of this type of novel to be missed, and whose big-screen adaptation would love to see:)
