As She Ascends: Fallen Isles, cartea 2
Autor Jodi Meadowsen Limba Engleză Paperback – 12 aug 2019 – vârsta de la 13 ani
From the New York Times bestselling co-author of My Plain Jane comes the second book in a smoldering fantasy trilogy about a girl who must embrace her latent power or lose the dragons she loves. Perfect for fans of Julie Kagawa and Kendare Blake.
Mira the Dragonhearted is on the run with her friends following a fiery escape from the prison where she’d been condemned for speaking out against dragon trafficking.
And she wants answers. Has the treaty she’s been defending her whole life truly sold out the Fallen Isles to their enemies? Did her own parents lie to her? Will she lose control of her power and hurt the ones she loves?
The only way to find the truth is to go home again, to face the people who betrayed her and the parents she’s not sure she can trust. Home, where she must learn to rise above her fears. Or be consumed.

Recenzii de la cititorii Books Express
Maria Nastasia a dat nota:
Julie Kagawa never disappoints me with her creativeness in her world of the Fey. We have the main courts that most you know Winter and Summer, and then the introduction of the Iron Fey and The forgotten add even more to the fun. The King of the Forgotten Ash and Meagen's son has gone missing, and something large and scary, a new foe called The Nightmare King, is on the rise. We get some back story on a side character Nyx; we learn about the Never Never before it became the place we know and love. Ash is the main POV for the book, so we get to see his inner struggle with his icy self since he gained a soul to be with his love. There is a lot to unpack and love in this second book, and with the ending, more world exploring to what I sure will be a very dark and forbidding realm.
