Neferet's Curse

Neferet's Curse

by P.C and Kristin Cast

Neferet's curse is a rather enlightening book! 

We all know that Neferet's past is dark and hatred and lust of power and control created today's Neferet, as the author has implied in many parts of the series til now, but what we don't know is what exactly happened.

As so many times before darkness is born out of fear, isolation, rejection, uncertainty and rage that's what happened here once again. Emily is just a little girl taking her first steps into womanhood whaen her dear mother passes. Her father destroyed by the loss is now turning into a heavy drinker and an abusive control-freak. Locking Emily into their mansion, never letting her out, forcing her to take her mother's place as the Lady of the House is starting to tranform Emily from a lively girl to a neurotic shadow of her past self. When love knock's her heart's door hope is blooming again in her. But We can already see what her father and hiw hot burning stares have done to her. Instead of an innocent little girl, her calculating plotting self is starting to appear. This new aspect of herself terrifies her but she convinces herself that it's only because of her current distress. What is more we can see her new arrogant self and her despise for weak people. She wants to help the best people and give them a chance to become the best they can. She wants to do to others what she hasn't the chance to achieve. When the time comes for her transformation, the Goddess's gift is late. Darkness has a strong hold of her. Revenge is in the air she breaths. Rejection of her best friends and previouw love of hers as well as the constant rape oh her soul and finally her body utterly kill the innocents Emily and give birth to Neferet!

A beautiful story, nothing too impressing. The plot was expected to be as such. I enjoyed reading it all in all. Though even now i don't like Neferet because when she had the chance to follow a different path, the path of forgiveness and love she tossed it all away, i understand her better now. I understand why she couldn't be under the service of another woman, as she blames partly her mother for what happened to her. Finally, once more it shows that beneath our every action a deeper motive lies. 

We should try to stop all kinds of violence and the lucky and fortunate of us should be thankfull to our parents and friend for creating a world safe and happy for us to live.
