Mostly I found the point of view wobbly: it definitely needed to be flexible, as the prologue needed to be a bit outside of the main character and the rest of the book needed to be very much inside her until very near the end, but it was hard to know whose thoughts we were listening in on at the beginning, and even throughout I wasn't always clear whether it was the main character who was self-aware about her spoiled nature and need to be worshipped, or if that was an omniscient narrator's commentary. But I really appreciated the different cultural setting putting a different lens on the YA themes here. And I loved the ending - both despite the fact and especially because I think I know what the author's doing with it. It's a similar dilemma to the one she poses the reader: if I'm right, I'll probably enjoy the promised sequel less; but if I'm wrong, I'll feel disappointed in this one. I may choose to remain in blissful suspense, but strongly suspect that those who enjoy YA themes will be safe to continue. sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha

"As crown princess of Marghazar, Durkhanai Miangul will do anything to protect her people. When her grandfather, the Badshah, is blamed for a deadly assault on the summit of neighboring leaders, the tribes call for his head. To assuage cries for war, the Badshah opens Marghazar's gates to foreigners for the first time in centuries. Enter Ambassador Asfandyar Afridi, a wry foreigner who admits outright that he is a spy. And yet, Durkhanai has to make him her ally. When a mysterious illness spreads through the village and the imperialists push hard on her borders, she must sort through the ever shifting loyalties at court and her growing feelings for Asfandyar. Will she be able to leave the antics of a spoiled princess behind and become what her people need--a queen?"--Back cover. Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |
