Met veel plezier dit verhaal in de Meidoorn en Grim reeks gelezen. Als Meidoorn en Grim naar het hof gaan van Prins Oran gaan om diens vrouw Flidais bij te staan bij de zwangerschap ontmoeten ze daar Geiléis, de dame van Bann, die in paniek om hulp komt vragen. Haar landgoed wordt geteisterd door het geschreeuw van iemand in de toren van haar domein. De hele omgeving moet elke dag van zonsopgang tot zonsondergang het geluid aanhoren en dat heeft invloed op alles, van de landbouw tot de geestelijke toestand. Meidoorn gaat met haar mee en probeert te onderzoeken wat er in de jaren daarvoor gebeurd is, maar het blijkt dat dit al meerdere keren in de laatste twee eeuwen in gebeurd. Grim mort ondertussen zijn eigen demonen uit het verleden te lijf gaan. Goed geschreven, spannend en gewoon heerlijk om te lezen. ( ) The second of the Blackthorn and Grim books involves a monster wailing in a tower and causing depression throughout a region and a woman who requests help from Prince Oren, fishing for Blacktorn's help - which she gets, but oh boy is there a whole lot of things aren't right here tell more than show, and the choice to go with a long drawn out plot was not a good one - there's really enough for a novella here. Oh I definitely enjoyed this better than the first book. Then again you know that trope "We Used To Be Friends"? Yeah its basically what happens here. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

Award-winning author Juliet Marillier's lavishly detailed * Blackthorn & Grim series continues as a mysterious creature holds an enchanted and imperiled ancient Ireland in thrall. Disillusioned healer Blackthorn and her companion, Grim, have settled in Dalriada to wait out the seven years of Blackthorn's bond to her fey mentor, hoping to avoid any dire challenges. But trouble has a way of seeking out Blackthorn and Grim. Lady Geileis, a noblewoman from the northern border, has asked for the prince of Dalriada's help in expelling a howling creature from an old tower on her land--one surrounded by an impenetrable hedge of thorns. Casting a blight over the entire district, and impossible to drive out by ordinary means, it threatens both the safety and the sanity of all who live nearby. With no ready solutions to offer, the prince consults Blackthorn and Grim. As Blackthorn and Grim begin to put the pieces of this puzzle together, it's apparent that a powerful adversary is working behind the scenes. Their quest is about to become a life and death struggle--a conflict in which even the closest of friends can find themselves on opposite sides. * Publishers Weekly Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
