Muse of Nightmares de Laini Taylor

Muse of Nightmares: Strange the Dreamer, cartea 2

Autor Laini Taylor
en Paperback – oct 2018 – vârsta de la 14 ani

În universul literaturii pentru adolescenți, puține teme sunt explorate cu atâta delicatețe precum procesul de a găsi speranță în mijlocul coșmarurilor. Observăm că Muse of Nightmares nu este doar o continuare a unei aventuri epice, ci o meditație profundă asupra identității și a modului în care ne definim după o tragedie. Recomandăm acest volum tinerilor cititori care au ajuns la vârsta la care înțeleg că lumea nu este împărțită doar în alb și negru, ci într-o multitudine de nuanțe de gri moral.

După evenimentele dramatice din primul volum, Lazlo și Sarai se confruntă cu o realitate nouă: el este acum un zeu, iar ea o fantomă. Tensiunea narativă este întreținută de personajul Minya, a cărei dorință de răzbunare împotriva orașului Weep îi ține pe protagoniști ostatici. Stilul lui Laini Taylor rămâne bogat și senzorial, oferind o experiență de lectură imersivă. Copiii care au iubit Strange the Dreamer vor găsi aici aceeași atmosferă onirică și lirismul specific autoarei, dar într-un context mult mai vast, care extinde limitele lumii cunoscute.

Această lucrare se ancorează solid în palmaresul autoarei, continuând explorarea temelor de „iubire imposibilă” și „război între lumi” prezente și în Daughter of Smoke & Bone. Spre deosebire de lucrările anterioare, Muse of Nightmares ridică o întrebare etică esențială: trebuie eroii să ucidă întotdeauna monștrii sau este posibil să îi salveze? Este o lectură care îndeamnă la empatie și la chestionarea prejudecăților, elemente vitale în dezvoltarea emoțională a adolescenților.

Descriere scurtă

The highly anticipated, thrilling sequel to theNew York Timesbestseller,Strange the Dreamer, from National Book Award finalist Laini Taylor, author of the bestselling Daughter of Smoke & Bone trilogy.

Sarai has lived and breathed nightmares since she was six years old.
She believed she knew every horror, and was beyond surprise.
She was wrong.

In the wake of tragedy, neither Lazlo nor Sarai are who they were before. One a god, the other a ghost, they struggle to grasp the new boundaries of their selves as dark-minded Minya holds them hostage, intent on vengeance against Weep.

Lazlo faces an unthinkable choice--save the woman he loves, oreveryone else?--while Sarai feels more helpless than ever. But is she? Sometimes, only the direst need can teach us our own depths, and Sarai, the muse of nightmares, has not yet discovered what she's capable of.

As humans and godspawn reel in the aftermath of the citadel's near fall, a new foe shatters their fragile hopes, and the mysteries of the Mesarthim are resurrected: Where did the gods come from, and why? What was done with thousands of children born in the citadel nursery? And most important of all, as forgotten doors are opened and new worlds revealed: Must heroes always slay monsters, or is it possible tosavethem instead?

Love and hate, revenge and redemption, destruction and salvation all clash in this gorgeous sequel to theNew York Timesbestseller,Strange the Dreamer.

Descriere

Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:

Parents need to know that Muse of Nightmares is the sequel to the absorbing best-selling fantasy Strange the Dreamer. As with the first book, this mature story is best for high school readers ready for difficult subject matter. Trauma over past rapes and murders dominates Muse of Nightmares, and some characters are so overcome with trauma that they seek out vengeful violence. They attempt to destroy whole towns and teams of soldiers with an army of ghosts and magical powers. One bloody scene shows two characters impaled over and over again. Characters are imprisoned and nearly choked to death, two others are drowned, and a character jumps to death out of grief. A woman remembers being hit and verbally abused by her stepmother and then sold by her father to an old man when she was just a teen. Readers of Strange the Dreamer already know that, less than two decades before that story began, girls had been taken from their homes, raped, forced have children, and then sent home again with their minds wiped of their memories. They also know about the babies murdered in the nursery. One character relives this scene over and over again in her nightmares. Sexual content is also mature: Main characters share beds naked, with descriptions of touching and talk of doing more intimate things in dreams. Older characters have sex, but it's not described. The main character, Sarai, tries to help characters grapple with their trauma. She finds there is no easy path back to a sense of peace.
