Court of Shadows (Shadow Fae Book 1)

Product Information

A Knight of the March of Someil, Estevar reasoned, which explained both the accent and commanding tone. From the New York Times bestselling author of Asylum comes the second book in a creepy fantasy series that Publishers Weekly praised as “darkly delightful.” Perfect for fans of Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children. Gently, he loosened the younger man’s fingers. ‘I thank you, Sir Knight. You have delivered your message, fulfilling this part of your mission. No one could fault your courage or your loyalty to your liege.’ He slid his rapier into the sheat The Abbey of Isola Sombra is less than half a mile across the causeway,’ Estevar observed. ‘The monks are known for their gracious hospitality to all who arrive at their gates. Why await me here? Unless it was to prevent me from reaching them myself?’

Sobre Jeanne, fue uno de los personajes más vacíos y marionetas que he leído en el último tiempo. Carece por completo de una personalidad, solo es su deseo de venganza. Dice estar decidida a morir con tal de cumplir su venganza y no confía en nadie, pero se hace de una amiga de inmediato, incluso se enamora de la única persona que la trata bien. Es un cliché andante que hace lo que tiene que hacer según la circunstancia o contexto para hacerla quedar como una protagonista interesante, aunque sea matar, pero cada vez que lo hace lanza gritos tipo: ¡la libertad o la muerte! ¡Eso es por mi familia! y cosas así que mataron por completo el mood. Two-time winner of the Grand Prix de l’Imaginaire, Victor Dixen stands at the forefront of French fantasy and science-fiction. His acclaimed series include Animale, Phobos, Cogito, Extincta, and Vampyria. A nomadic writer, he has lived in Paris, Dublin, Singapore, New York, and now Washington, DC, drawing inspiration from the promises of the future as much as the ghosts of the past.vanaf de eerste pagina begint de actie en stopt dan eigenlijk niet meer, waardoor je echt door het verhaal vliegt. er gebeuren allerlei dingen die ik echt niet zag aankomen! wat ook heel erg tof is, is het feit dat dit boek divers en inclusief is. de personages zijn niet perfect, maar dat maakt het ook wat realistischer.

The wise move would be to fight from atop the mule. The added height afforded a superior position, and Imperious was no shy pony to cower in the face of danger. Should the need arise to flee, being already in the saddle would increase the odds of escape. Estevar could barely restrain his laughter. ‘Has the cold and damp frozen that helmet to your head, Sir Knight? You speak of two hundred pampered, petulant monks as if they were an army of invading soldiers!’ Un très bon univers original qui mêle cour de Louis XIV et vampires. Il y a un vrai effort sur le worldbuilding qui est très intéressant et bien développé.

Court of Shadows (Shadow Fae Book 1) Kindle Edition

Tiene escenas CRUENTAS pero eso es lo que más he disfrutado, cómo me ha calado, he sufrido lo mismo que la protagonista, sus pesares, angustias y tristezas. Y además esta protagonista es estupenda os lo prometo, qué buena evolución. La vemos desenvolverse en un mundo que no es el suyo como lo haríamos todos: MAL, pero mejora!! Y vaya si mejora... o eso o la muerte! En cuanto a la elegancia de la que, en teoría, deben hacer gala las mujeres, ha de saber que se trata de una invención de los hombres para someternos" D’où sort la romance svp ? De nulle part. Ça arrive vraiment comme un cheveux sur la soupe. Les perso se parlent 2x sur 300p pour tomber totalement in love du jour au lendemain. But if you know, you know How strange that only moments before, he’d been ready to abandon this place and ignore Abbot Venia’s plea for him to arbitrate the dispute between his contentious monks. Now that this same dispute had exploded into something far more unsettling, Estevar found himself unable to walk away.Estevar pressed a hand over the nagging wound. There wasn’t so much as a scratch on the leather. The bone plates sewn into the lining would have protected him, had he not been so vain that he’d consented to the duellist’s demand that he fight without it. Not bad, Estevar mused, all thoughts of abandoning the monks to their own devices banished as he drew his rapier. The cadence was a little off, but melodious eloquence is surely too much to ask of a fellow in my feverish state.

Hace casi 300 años que el rey de Francia se convirtió en vampiro, cambiando así la historia de la humanidad. Ahora los plebeyos deben dar sangre todos los meses a los vampiros para alimentarlos. Jeanne una joven plebeya, ve como toda su familia es asesinada, buscando venganza asume una identidad falsa con el fin de ser admitida en la prestigiosa Escuela de la Gran Caballeriza en Versalles, desde allí empezará a trabajar en su venganza. The storm is not so deafening that you failed to hear me the first time,’ he replied, widening his stance and raising the blade of his rapier. ‘Now, stop where you are. Inclement weather and poor soil make for arduous grave-digging, and I have more pressing business at the abbey.’ POC character (Japanese, to be more precise) that is only here to explain gratuitously the world building to homegirl while she could have had her own plot points and characterization! Such a missed opportunity!

Y, por su parte, la ambientación es una auténtica pasada, de verdad que es como si estuviésemos ya sumergidos en ese mundo, en Versalles, entre vampiros, y sinceramente estoy segura de que os fliparía. Imperious swivelled his sorrel head once again, this time in an attempt to bite his rider’s hand as punishment for bringing him to this hellish place. Evidently, it wasn’t only the First Cantor to whom Estevar owed profuse apologies. But my opponent is a man of war, Estevar reminded himself, trained to slash the throat of his enemy’s mount first to counter his advantage. The original purpose of the organization was to make sure that Prince Dain successfully became High King. If this mission was successful, they would then do everything they could to make sure he stayed on the throne.
