Johnson's writing really improved between the first and second books of this series - the flatness of the characters is mostly gone, although she still explains their emotions a little too much, and there are still a lot of characters to keep track of. The story is better contained in this book, too, the backstory having gotten out of the way - and it's a wonderful story, about coercion and choice and what sort of things people can, should, and will put up with in the name of safety. I'm sorry to hear she's not planning on finishing the series at this point. ( ) Just finished this book a while back and it was amazing. Had me turning the pages until I was done. I finished it in one sitting which is something I only do on the best of books. Alaya is extremely talented and I expect we'll see big things from her. I can't wait for the 3rd book and I'm eagerly awaiting her new alternate/historical vampire series. I don't really like to talk about plot so I don't ruin anything so do yourself a favor and read her first book Racing the Dark. It's very original and there's alot of mystery to go with the fantasy. Incredible book/series so far. Sense ressenyes | afegeix-hi una ressenya

InThe Burning City, Alaya Dawn Johnson continues the trilogy begun with her debut,Racing the Dark, delving deeper into the world of magic wielded by women who understand the dark trade-offs of power and sacrifice. Lana, the heroine, has become the black ange l --a harbinger of destruction unheard of in the islands for 500 years. Nui'ahi, the sleeping volcano of the great city Essel, has erupted. In the chaos, the city is reshaping itself and violence threatens from all corners. A rebel movement has formed in the destroyed heart of the city, determined to oust Kohaku, the mad Mo'i ofEssel. Lana wants no part of the rebels' cause -- the death spirit still chases her, and the great witch Akua has kidnapped Lana's mother. But the more Lana looks for her mother, the more she is drawn into the city's political conflicts. As Kohaku descends deeper into madness, determined to subdue the city by any means necessary, his wife has run away to the fire temple, where she too is slowly converted to the rebel's cause. When long-running tensions spill over into civil war, Lana must make her hardest decision yet: her mother's life, or a city's freedom? No s'han trobat descripcions de biblioteca. |
