The Savior
Autor J. R. Warden Limba Engleză Paperback – 24 sep 2019
În universul întunecat și stratificat din The Savior, ne confruntăm cu tensiunea sfâșietoare dintre dorința de mântuire a unui proscris și prăbușirea certitudinilor morale ale unei lumi științifice reci. Descoperim aici povestea lui Murhder, singurul luptător expulzat vreodată din Black Dagger Brotherhood, a cărui revenire în Caldwell nu este un act de sfidare, ci o încercare disperată de a corecta o nedreptate istorică. Remarcăm modul în care J.R. Ward împletește trauma psihologică a unui vampir marcat de nebunie cu trezirea brutală la realitate a Dr. Sarah Watkins, o cercetătoare care află că logodnicul său defunct a fost complice la tortură. Putem afirma că acest al 17-lea volum al seriei reușește să mențină o atmosferă de o intensitate electrică, unde miza nu este doar supraviețuirea speciei, ci și integritatea sufletului în fața unor adevăruri insuportabile. Ca și în Lover Unbound, unde o figură medicală umană devine ancora unui războinic torturat, The Savior explorează dinamica dintre știință și supranatural, dar dintr-o perspectivă mult mai sumbră, axată pe etica medicală și costul redempțiunii. În contextul operei sale, dacă în Envy autoarea analiza păcatul prin prisma detectivismului, aici ea revine la temele fundamentale ale seriei mamă — loialitatea față de frați și sacrificiul personal. Ritmul este alert, alternând între momente de introspecție dureroasă și secvențe de o senzualitate brută, specifice stilului care i-a adus autoarei multiple premii RITA.

Anonim a dat nota:
The basic premise of this series is that in the Black Dagger Brotherhood we follow a bunch of powerful vampires, that are in an elite group that protects humans, vampires, angels, and a bunch of other paranormal entities, and they all live in this big mansion, and they all are one big family that’s just saving the world. And, because we are seventeen books in, each book focuses on a new member (or soon to be or maybe one day possibly becoming a member), while an older member (who has already had their own book) has a side storyline going on as well! This book focuses primarily on Murhder, who has been talked about and hinted at for so very many books leading up to this one. He was kicked out of the BDB back in the day, and in this book we get to see why and what happened after he left. Sadly, it was very much based on miscommunication, and I didn’t love it very much. The other star of this book is Sarah, who I actually really did like. I won’t lie, the instalove was real in this romance, but I still just really enjoyed it for some reason. Plus, Sarah, who is a scientist, trying to get to the bottom of a mysterious coverup that happened many years ago, was fascinating, and I loved the mystery and watching it unfold. And the side storyline going on is about John Matthew, who is (sadly) my least favorite brother. And Xhex, who is Jon Matthews partner, is also one of my least favorite characters, and I hated how she didn’t speak up in this book and let someone else take the blame for something. Like, it felt really bad, and it really ensured their place as my least favorite couple in this world. Also, the bandage that was placed on the situation for the easiest fix ever? Felt horrible. Overall, I just feel like this wasn’t as strong of a book. Like, almost to the point that you could completely take out this book and it wouldn’t impact the storyline whatsoever, which is never a good feeling. I am very excited for book eighteen, but this one wasn’t even close to being one of my favorite books. Also, that romantic haircut? Lord, please, no, never. I know this review is really vague, and I’m sorry for that, but if you’re looking for a PNR romance, filled with alpha vampires, a lot of romance, and a lot of sex, I totally think you should give this series a try! Also, I am hoping we get more of my favorite fallen angel in the next one, because the world deserves more Lassiter, and I also hope to see more of my favorite literary cat.
