Court of Shadows (Shadow Fae Book 1)

Product Information

My Lord did send a dozen of my fellow knights to investigate,’ Sir Daven said defiantly. ‘When they emerged the next morning . . .’ He paused, visibly shaken by whatever memories plagued him. ‘Twelve braver, steadier men and women I have never known, yet not one of them has uttered a word since their return. They sit in separate chambers within the margrave’s fortress, attended to by his personal physicians – not clerics, mind you, trained physicians – who claim their souls have fled their bodies.’ 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. Tyrant’s Throne Falcio has one chance to restore the rule of law in Tristia, but will can pay the price?

Look,’ he shouted to the rest of us, ‘real live Auroral mages have come to cast our souls to the pits! Kneel before these noble miracle-­workers and weep for mercy, for surely the judgement of the Lords Celestine is at hand!’ At least, Estevar assumed they were brothers. Surely two such identically brutish and irredeemably stupid men could not have come from different fathers.Three clerks stood behind the Magistrate's throne. One of them, a slender young man with bright, almost playful auburn curls that matched his courtier's smile, stepped down the circular stairs carved into the wide marble column beneath the pedestal to announce, 'Janva Slade, a wheelwright, sentenced to five years for Violence Most Grievous Against a Child.'

Es war deutlich blutiger und brutaler als ich erwartet habe, aber das fand ich gar nicht so schlimm 😄 Gory, twisty, heart-stopping fun of the best kind - I couldn't stop reading!" - Shelley Parker-Chan 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 The thin silver thread binding the Auroral mage to Corrigan snapped away from him, whipping through the air with blinding speed before attaching itself to the old man next to her. Even when he saw the heartchain coming for him, he didn’t make a move to abandon her. Maybe he was her husband and such a cowardly thought never occurred to him.

Court of Shadows (Shadow Fae Book 1) Kindle Edition

The Court of Shadows has intriguing world-building and a protagonist with true, merciless grit.” ―Charlie N. Holmberg, Wall Street Journal bestselling author of The Paper Magician A duella damnatio is sometimes called a ‘gambler’s duel’ because every cut the defendant scores against the prosecuting duellist strikes a year from his sentence. Every wound he suffers, however, extends his prison term by a year, and like all gamblers playing at the wrong table, Our Lord of the Battering Blow doesn’t know when to fold on a bad hand. Beneath my leather cuirass, a set of three intertwining sigils etched into my torso began to smoulder, then the sigils appeared in the air before me as floating scrawls of ebony ink, curves and edges glimmering. I could feel the seconds counting down towards Corrigan’s heart bursting in his chest. 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. What would happen if Throne of Glass and Shadowhunters had a baby? My guess is it would be something very similar to COURT OF SHADOWS!

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.
