Video Review: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p5Oxb4yoddI ( ) Complicated, frustrating, fantastic. The world got under my skin and I couldn't shake it. An anti-heroine with her own amoral morality, sleeping gods and mafia assassin families doing business in the dark. Reminds me strongly of the Gentleman Bastards series, but mostly that's because it's a thief's tale and you don't really know who's pulling the strings until the very end. The only thing I could use less of is the main character's annoying tendency to brood on how everything's her fault, which admittedly is perfectly reasonable for a teen audience. Romance is an integral plot point in this one, but not the focus of the book. Advanced Reader's Copy provided by Edelweiss. 2.5/5 stars This book had some fantstic potential but OMG it draaggggeeedddd 3 Months. 3 freaking months it actually took me to finish this book because I got so bored reading it and continually put it down for something better. I enjoyed the start of this. The Mafia-esque families of assassins were intriguing; I love that sort of stuff. And I was hoping to enjoy the Italian/Spanish feel the world had but it fell a little short. Overall, I just couldn't invest myself into this world or characters. I desperately wanted to love this, but when a book takes you that long to read you know it ain't gunna happen Assassin's Heart was good. Really good. Fantastic world-building, great characters (though Lea could be a bit irritating at times) and the best part..assassin's. Lots of them. A pretty quick read full of betrayal, vengeance, violence and of course romance. I'm certainly interested in reading the companion novel once it's released! keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

HTML: With shades of Game of Thrones and Romeo and Juliet, this richly imagined fantasy from debut author Sarah Ahiers is a tale of love, lies, and vengeance. Fans of Kristin Cashore and Rae Carson will devour the flawlessly crafted action and inventive world building. Seventeen-year-old Lea Saldana is a trained assassin. She was born into one of the nine clipper Families in the kingdom of Lovero who lawfully take lives for a price. As a member of the highest-ranking clan, loyalty to Family is valued above all, but that doesn't stop Lea from getting into a secret relationship with Val Da Via, a boy from a rival clan. Despite her better judgment, Lea has fallen in love with him; but she's confident she can anticipate any threat a mile away. Then she awakens one night to a house full of smoke. Although she narrowly escapes, she isn't able to save her Family as their home is consumed by flames. With horror, she realizes that Val and his Family are the only ones who could be responsible. Devastated over his betrayal and the loss of her clan, there's just one thing on her mind: making the Da Vias pay. The heart of this assassin craves revenge. .Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
