The Half Bad Trilogy Series Set By Sally Green (Half Bad, Half Wild: Sally Green & Half Lost: Sally Green)

Product Information

is highly disappointing. Her name is Annalise, a White Witch whose Uncle is in the Council. It could have been an interesting "We-Are-Not-Meant-To-Be" love story, but holy shit, was she the most useless character EVER. She does absolutely nothing but look pretty and demure. I am aware she has a hard life at home as her family is limiting the things she can and can't do and she is being pushed around all the time, but come on, a little personality wouldn't hurt, would it? This is the reason why you're being pushed around - because you allow it to happen. And I'm not surprised why.

Throughout the story, Nathan discovers that he is bisexual – whatever label he would put on it, he has an attraction to Annalise and an attraction to Gabriel,” says Barton, who wanted the series to explore the characters’ sexuality in a way that felt complex and real. “It’s very much a story about identity, but it isn’t a show about identity politics,” he explains. Part of his attraction to the story was the inclusion of Nathan’s bisexuality without it being the sole focus. “It’s not just there to drive drama or narrative, it’s just a part of the character.” If you are a Harry Potter fan, you will find the setting in this world quite familiar, which is good, because the setting in this book is very poorly built. This book has excellent character development, a sympathetic main character (OH COME ON, WHO DOESN'T LOVE SNAPE?!), but almost no magic at all for a book with witches. The plot is vague, the setting is unclear, it's well-written for a character insight, but that's the limit of this book. Even prior to its publication people drew comparisons to The Hunger Games, [5] Harry Potter or the Twilight series. Half Bad has also been compared to Nineteen Eighty-Four by George Orwell.

Fearing that he will follow in his father’s disastrous path, he has been constantly watched his whole life. But as he plays with the line between “good” and “bad,” Nathan along with mischievous Annalise (Nadia Parkes) and charismatic Gabriel (Emilien Vekemans), will all soon discover who he truly is.

And your life is so empty that sitting in the middle of nowhere acting as jailor for an innocent child must seem pretty rewarding.” Removing those scenes was also a matter of tone, Barton says. “It just felt very, very grim. It was too much, it would have been too much. I wanted to have a bit of levity in there.” Barton loved the idea of Nathan and his trainer/torturer Celia moving from hostility to friendship and didn’t want their relationship to be abusive. “You know, enemies becoming friends, it’s a great trope! And you can’t do it if one of them’s just constantly torturing the other.” Nathan’s Sexuality

The book is so diverse, it's mind blowing. Also, sexuality is like a normal thing in this book? No one needed to reveal anything or come out of whatever they're imaginary inside, it's just is, no big deal. As simple as what colour your eyes are. As simple as it should be to be honest.

The Half Bad Trilogy in Order (5 Books)

When I came up with the idea for HALF BAD I did think it would be a trilogy from the start. This was well before I had an agent or a publishing deal. I can't really comment on what publishers or marketing departments want except that, as far as I can see, they want great books whether as stand-alones, trilogies or a series of seven-plus books. The main character Nathan is great, he is just a fighter and never gives up. He goes through some absolutely terrible things, but he always has hope and keeps control of his mind. His journey is so intriguing and interesting, I just had to keep reading to know more.

The characters are duller than the writing, and that takes talent. With one exception: Annalise. She manages to be disgustingly annoying with just three or four scenes she's in. That takes talent too.

Wearing glasses, a scarf and gloves to hide his identity and his marks, Nathan meets up with a nameless man who has been told to watch and keep Nathan in an apartment until Mercury is ready to meet him. The man later introduces himself to Nathan as Gabriel, and they stay in an apartment in Geneva together for a few days. We should note that some eagle-eyed viewers spotted that Netflix changed the show’s name and assets following its release. When it launched, the show was titled The Bastard Son & The Devil Himself, but it has now had Half Bad added to the front of the title. So while I moderately enjoyed this book, it didn't blow me away or leave me with a big impression, as stated before I kept getting distracted from it. The book was fine though, the story was good, the characters were decent, the pace was good, overall though just not the kind of book for me. I didn't get hugely into it. The ending was fine, and for me it just feels like a pretty satisfying ending that can stay where it is, with something that leaves the reader guessing, kind of like a short story. This book was alright, but not great. Just not my kind of book is all. That's it.
