Well, this is certainly an original take on the Sleeping Beauty mythos -- one where the fairies tithe abilities away, so in exchange for beauty and gracefulness, Aurora loses her voice. In exchange for Aurora's life, her sister loses her sight. The strengths -- a very excellent and engaging and capable blind main character, also a mute one. The wonderful bond between the sisters. The weaknesses -- another series, this one set up to mirror the larger dysfunctional family relationship that governs the bigger political picture. I'm just not that interested in watching the drama Isabella and Aurora's relationship will inevitably go through, and the pacing drags. The dreaming world is confusing, the waking one is full of beings being awful to each other just because they can. It's a perfectly fine YA series, just not one I care to pick up again. Advanced reader's copy provided by Edelweiss. This book started off slow, but it was worth the build-up. Isbe and Aurora are half-sisters, both suffering from a loss of senses taken from them by Faeries as tithes for other gifts. Following the classic tale of Sleeping Beauty, Aurora is cursed to fall into a deep sleep on her sixteenth birthday by pricking her finger on a spindle, but this sleep is contagious. Aurora gets trapped in a dream world, trying to escape while her sister tries to get back to her with a prince to awaken her. The bond between sisters is strong, and I loved the way Hillyer spent time developing it. I was also holding my breath at the romantic tension, screaming in frustration and excitement at times. That ending has killed me, and so now I’m off to read the second one! aucune critique | ajouter une critique

Lexa Hillyer draws the walls between dreams and reality with shimmering grace and phrases of such beauty I had to read many of them twice." â??Jodi Lynn Anderson, author of Tiger Lily "With its engaging heroines and delicious prose, Spindle Fire pulled me into a richly detailed world full of intrigue and magic." â??Amy Ewing, New York Times bestselling author of the Lone City trilogy Half sisters Isabelle and Aurora are polar opposites: Isabelle is the king's headstrong illegitimate daughter, whose sight was tithed by faeries; Aurora, beautiful and sheltered, was tithed her sense of touch and voice on the same day. Despite their differences, the sisters have always been extremely close. And then everything changes, with a single drop of Aurora's blood, a Faerie Queen who is preparing for war, a strange and enchanting dream realmâ??and a sleep so deep it cannot be broken. Perfect for fans of Sarah J. Maas and Leigh Bardugo, Spindle Fire is a tour-de-force fantasy set in the dwindling, deliciously corrupt world of the fae and featuring two truly unforgettable he Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
