Morgan is coming into her own in this book and the addition of Alisa breaks up the monotony of the story only being about Morgan. In this book, the narrator changes from Morgan to Alisa by the chapter. Morgan will also face down her father Ciaran. Alisa discovers she is half blood witch and realizes that all the strange happenings are Morgan's fault are actually her own power. Hunter's father is living with him now. Hunter feels betrayed by the council and is considering leaving his role as a Seeker. I enjoyed this book and am eager to finish this series and see how it all comes out in the end.
I am not really into Wicca, but these books are really enjoyable. I purchased the Sweep series for my 13 year old daughter in the hopes that maybe she would read. I am on my fifth book, and my daughter read each twice, and is know on the Circle of Three Series. "She hated to read." Well I was amazed, and could not get her to go to sleep, as she would spend the whole night, with a night-light on reading these books. She enjoyed them so much, and could not stop talking first about Cal and then Hunter, that I had to see what all the fuss was about.Well after two weeks, a book a day, for a girl who hated to read, it sparked my curiosity, so I started reading, and was surprised to find out how enjoyable a Teen book about Teen Witches could be. I have to highly recommend these books to those parents who can not get their daughters to read. These are excellent stories, full of fantasy, horror, and fun.
This book is one of my favourites out the whole series. I think it was a very good idea to have Alisa save the day rather than Morgan for a change. Unlike alot of readers, I really like Alisa - I think she adds a strange kind of innocence to the books that instead of being annoying is quite good - it adds some light for a change. Even though the way in which she finds out about being a half witch is very repeative and simliar (and a bit cheesy) to how Morgan found out she was an adopted blood witch, i still liked it because like I said, I like Alisa and the innocence and light she adds to the story. I think that it was a good idea of Cate Tiernan's to have the spotlight shared by two characters because she has avoided the irritating predictable problem some books suffer from where there is always one heroic character who saves the day every time. This time, it is alot more varied.
Morgan, Alisa and Hunter are all missing mothers. There are no excerpts starting each chapter, but there are some interesting quotes.
For those who don't remember, Alisa is the girl who is scared by Morgan because strange telekinetic things happen when they are together and she feels Morgan is unable to control her power.One day, at practical magic, Morgan picks up a Book Of Shadows from the seventies. This is actually on we have seen excerpts from in a previous book.
Morgan is back and so is Alisa. As Alisa begins to deal with her situation, she gets caught up with Morgan, Hunter and Hunter's father as a new and serious danger threatens them and much of Widow's Vale.The story switches back and forth from Morgan's point of view to Alisa's.
But when Alisa is visiting Mary K. (Morgans younger sister), she steals the book.The book winds up revealing things about Alisa's family and just who Alisa is.
A good book that seems to really move the series towards a conclusion.On a side note, does anyone else thing the town should change its name to Widowers Vale. Plenty of widowers and no widows.
Will they be able to stop it in time. Morgan finds Ciaran and her boyfriend, Hunter, stripps his magick.
It shares the point of view with Morgan who is ususally the narrator, and Alisa, who you haven't heard from. So this book, eclipse, is really good.
Mordan's killer father, Ciaran McEwan is trying to destroy Widows Vale with the *ominous music* DARK WAVE. Alisa's relationship with Morgan is that she is Morgan's little sister Mary K.'s best friend (getting a little Jerry Springer.).
anyhow, Alisa is a blood witch. But the dark Wave is still coming.
*FORESHADOWING*
