Looks like they are heading to war in Ember Queen (book #3) and I am hoping that Theo and her rag tag group of "soldiers" are able to take Cress down and Theo actually starts using her abilities. Glad to see the Kaiser got what was coming to him, that was epic. After having read the first two books of this trilogy, I believe that Sebastian has fallen victim to the YA trilogy trend and is trying to drag a really great book out into three mediocre volumes. (I reserve the right to change my mind after I read volume 3 of course). Very very little actually happens in this book despite it being almost 500 pages. There are scenes after scenes of Theo meeting with potential marriage partners, many of whom will never be seen again. Now, if those scenes are funny or character building or even just beautifully written, I might be willing to overlook how they don't move the plot forward at all. But they honestly aren't. Theo continues to be a whiny, insecure child the entire book who thinks she is so "smart" because she is manipulating someone only to find out she's the one being manipulated. That said, I do think there's an interesting story in here, I just wish we could get to it a lot faster! This was such a disappointment. Where the first book was concise and zipped through the plot (guessing due to good editing), this book was so slow and dragged on through meaningless plot turns that you knew would go nowhere. Probably most importantly, Theo, the main character, is not likable. She uses love as manipulation; she's passive aggressive, and generally she comes across as a mean girl. Unfortunately Soren and Blaise were two-dimensional and barely showed up in this book. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

HTML:The second installment in the New York Times bestselling series "made for fans of Victoria Aveyard and Sabaa Tahir" (Bustle), Lady Smoke is an epic new fantasy about a throne cruelly stolen and a girl who must fight to take it back for her people. The Kaiser murdered Theodosia's mother, the Fire Queen, when Theo was only six. He took Theo's country and kept her prisoner, crowning her Ash Princessâ??a pet to toy with and humiliate for ten long years. That era has ended. The Kaiser thought his prisoner weak and defenseless. He didn't realize that a sharp mind is the deadliest weapon. Theo no longer wears a crown of ashes. She has taken back her rightful title, and a hostageâ??Prinz Soren. But her people remain enslaved under the Kaiser's rule, and now she is thousands of miles away from them and her throne. To get them back, she will need an army. Only, securing an army means she must trust her aunt, the dreaded pirate Dragonsbane. And according to Dragonsbane, an army can only be produced if Theo takes a husband. Something an Astrean Queen has never done. Theo knows that freedom comes at a price, but she is determined to find a way to save her country without losing herself. Praise for the Ash Princess Series: "A darkly enchanting page-turner you won't be able to put down."â??Bustle "A smart, feminist twist on a traditional tale of a fallen heroine, with plenty of court intrigue, love, and lies to sweeten the deal. Good luck putting this one down." â??Virginia Boecker, author of The Witch Hunter series "This searing page-turner is a compelling examination of the complexities of both evil and resistance."â??Sarah Porter, author of Vassa in the Night "A dark and spellbinding epic." â??Sara Holland, New York Times bestselling author of Everless "A rebel queen fans the sparks of revolution...[and] Theo's first-person narration remains enthralling with emotional immediacy...[while] packed to the brim with intrigue and the promise."-K Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
