Flame in the Mist de Renée Ahdieh

Flame in the Mist

Autor Renée Ahdieh
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 3 apr 2018 – vârsta de la 12 ani

Considerăm că dincolo de aventura plină de suspans, Flame in the Mist transmite o lecție valoroasă despre curajul de a-ți rescrie propriul destin atunci când societatea ți-a rezervat deja un rol fix. Mariko, deși o alchimistă sclipitoare, este tratată ca un simplu pion într-o alianță politică în Japonia feudală. Ne-a atras atenția modul în care Renée Ahdieh construiește transformarea protagonistei: supraviețuind unei tentative de asasinat, ea alege să se deghizeze în băiat pentru a se infiltra în rândurile dușmanilor săi, Clanul Negru. Această schimbare de perspectivă îi oferă, paradoxal, libertatea de a fi apreciată pentru intelectul ei, nu pentru rangul social.

În familia Spirit's Princess de Esther M. Friesner, dar cu o temă actuală: necesitatea de a dărâma barierele de gen pentru a-ți atinge potențialul maxim, Mariko navighează într-o lume a onoarei și a violenței. Ritmul este alert, susținut de o proză elegantă care pune accent pe detaliile atmosferei istorice și pe tensiunea emoțională. Față de lucrările anterioare ale autoarei, precum seria The Beautiful care explorează mitul vampirilor într-un registru gotic și senzual, Flame in the Mist se ancorează în realismul magic al folclorului nipon, păstrând totodată amprenta caracteristică a scriitoarei: dialoguri provocatoare și personaje feminine puternice, similare cu Shahrzad din The Wrath and the Dawn. Este o lectură care echilibrează momentele de acțiune cu o introspecție profundă asupra loialității față de familie versus loialitatea față de sine.

Recenzii

The only daughter of a prominent Samurai, Mariko has always known that being a woman means she's not in control of her fate. Never mind her cunning or her skills as an accomplished alchemist, Mariko was raised for one purpose only: to marry.

At just seventeen years old, Mariko is sent to the imperial palace to meet her betrothed, a man she did not choose. But the journey is cut short when her convoy is ambushed by the Black Clan - a group of bandits hired to kill Mariko before she reaches the palace.

The lone survivor of the attack, Mariko swears revenge on those who want her dead: she infiltrates the Black Clan disguised as a peasant boy and befriends their leader. The clan warms to Mariko, impressed by her intellect and ingenuity - but as she gets closer to her enemies, Mariko uncovers a dark history of secrets that will force her to question everything she's ever known.

Descriere scurtă

From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Wrath and the Dawn, comes a sweeping, action-packed YA adventure set against the backdrop of Feudal Japan where Mulan meets Throne of Glass. The daughter of a prominent samurai, Mariko has long known her place--she may be an accomplished alchemist, whose cunning rivals that of her brother Kenshin, but because she is not a boy, her future has always been out of her hands. At just seventeen years old, Mariko is promised to Minamoto Raiden, the son of the emperor's favorite consort--a political marriage that will elevate her family's standing. But en route to the imperial city of Inako, Mariko narrowly escapes a bloody ambush by a dangerous gang of bandits known as the Black Clan, who she learns has been hired to kill her before she reaches the palace.
Dressed as a peasant boy, Mariko sets out to infiltrate the Black Clan and track down those responsible for the target on her back. Once she's within their ranks, though, Mariko finds for the first time she's appreciated for her intellect and abilities. She even finds herself falling in love--a love that will force her to question everything she's ever known about her family, her purpose, and her deepest desires.
