Twin Daggers de MarcyKate Connolly

Twin Daggers

Autor MarcyKate Connolly
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 24 aug 2020 – vârsta ani
“A taut, emotionally arresting fantasy.” —Kirkus
In this first book of a YA fantasy duology, magic-wielding spies and twin sisters Aissa and Zandria want nothing more than to take revenge on the society that conquered their people … but for Aissa, completing her mission could mean choosing between Zandria’s freedom and saving the life of a sworn enemy who has stolen her heart.
Twin Daggers is:
  • a fantasy spin on Romeo and Juliet, filled with forbidden love and dangerous stakes
  • an action and adventure page-turner featuring a strong female protagonist
  • perfect for fans of Elly Blake, Sabaa Tahir, and Sarah J. Maas
Aissa’s life is a web of carefully constructed lies. By day, she and her sister Zandra play the role of normal young Technocrats eager to fulfill the duties of their new apprenticeships. By night, they work for the Magi’s spy organization, which seeks to overthrow the Technocrats who subjugated their people. Soon Aissa is given her greatest mission: find and kidnap the heir to the Technocrat throne, who is rumored to be one of the Heartless—a person born without a working heart who survives via a mechanical replacement—and has been hidden since birth.
Aissa has never been one to turn down an assignment, even if the hunt is complicated by a kind Technocrat researcher who is determined to find a cure for the Heartless. But when Zandria is captured, Aissa will do anything to get her sister back. Even if it means abandoning all other loyalties … and risking everything by trusting the enemy.

Recenzii

Kirkus Reviews: 'A taut, emotionally arresting fantasy.'By day, Aissa and Zandria are hardworking citizens of the Technocrat city of Palinor; by night, they are Magi spies and assassins-in-training. The twins scour the city for any remnants of their people's former power. Their mission: to find and kill the Technocrat heir, a hidden child who is one of the Heartless--people born without a heart. Aro, an attractive young Technocrat researcher, tasks Aissa with helping find a cure for the Heartless, but not everything is as it seems: Old friends cannot be trusted, new emotions cannot be ignored. When Zandria is captured by the Technocrats, Aissa must weigh loyalty to her mission against her sister's life and her own burgeoning love in the ultimate moral quandary. Each side views the other as unequivocally evil. Connolly, however, undermines these perceptions, depicting both underhanded Magi ploys and Technocrat compassion: a subtle take on the current expectation of moral ambiguity in fantasy. The book's strengths lie in its well-crafted prose, worldbuilding, and richly drawn supporting characters; the leads, however, feel a bit more inaccessible. Emotionally repressed Aissa's confidence in her intelligence and abilities approaches arrogance; the better-humored Zandria plays a much smaller role, and her absence in the latter half of the book goes almost unnoticed. The stakes, too, sometimes feel too low to drive the depth of the twins' hatred. Main characters default to White; there is some diversity of skin tone in secondary characters. A taut, emotionally arresting fantasy. (Fantasy. 13-18)
Exceptionally well crafted with a wealth of inherently fascinating plot twists and turns, 'Twin Daggers' is a simply outstanding YA novel that will have a very special appeal to young readers ages 13-18. -- Midwest Book ReviewX
