Aquesta ressenya s'ha escrit per al programa Donatius de membres de LibraryThing. The best scifi/fantasy novels help us deal with a current problem/idea by reframing it in a different context.And I would say The Power We Share works to reframe global warming and rising water levels in an actual hopeful manner. The power that once rested in the hands of a few is now manifesting itself in more people, while the people who once had it are starting to lose it. Will the future be reshaped and reinvigorated by change? Most voices today are pretty fatalistic. The downside of which is that people feel defeated and hopeless. But what if we look forward and grab hold of the future? This could just be my reading of this book. It takes place in a world where some people have magic, but few rights, while others must buy things from the witches but have freedom. But a pivotal moment is approaching. Some say the ice is melting, the water will rise and drown their islands. But instead of coming together people are fighting each other. The protagonist decides to bring change and freedom to the world. I wish there was more parts from the male lead, Davit’s, point of view. And there were a few moments where things were done out of order. But well written and engaging plot line, with believable characters. Sense ressenyes | afegeix-hi una ressenya
The heist is on! Molly Sinclair is a pirate and a craftborn witch in a world where everyone is born either human or witch. Spells are the currency of choice and the guild controls the witches' magic. It buys their spells as cogs-the chant, object and gesture necessary to make them work. It packages and sells them and threatens anyone who refuses to follow their rules and Molly wants nothing to do with them.Tensions in the isles run high. People are poor, and power is shifting. When Molly steals a chest full of spells from the governor, his nephew steps in and a search begins.Molly is a strong-willed young woman, haunted by her parent's disappearance and determined to protect her fifteen-year-old brother. There's mistaken identities and battles at sea and though Molly prefers to live her life free of the guild and sailing her ship, she doesn't have that choice. She needs to find out who is lying and who is telling the truth before the final battle destroys them all. No s'han trobat descripcions de biblioteca. |

The story was exciting, creative, and inventive; and it held my interest the entire time. In it's totality, it was just such a great read!
I would definitely recommend this book to people of all ages. There was some gunplay and fighting scenes in the book but there wasn't any bad language or overt sexuality in the content.
I enjoyed it so much that I'm going to search for other books written by this author.
I am a prolific reader and I can't tell you how excited I am to add another favorite author to my repertoire of great authors! ( )
