Two Dark Reigns: Three Dark Crowns, cartea 3

Autor Kendare Blake
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 4 oct 2018

În universul literaturii pentru adolescenți, tema luptei pentru putere și a responsabilității morale capătă o profunzime aparte în cel de-al treilea volum al seriei Three Dark Crowns. Observăm cum Kendare Blake explorează în Two Dark Reigns consecințele psihologice ale ascensiunii la tron, punând cititorul în fața unei întrebări dificile: ce se întâmplă după ce coroana a fost câștigată prin sânge? Recomandăm acest volum tinerilor cititori care au parcurs deja primele două etape ale luptei dintre surori, deoarece miza se mută acum de la supraviețuirea individuală la soarta întregii insule Fennbirn. Structura narativă se ramifică fascinant: în timp ce Katharine încearcă să-și consolideze autoritatea în ciuda zvonurilor despre natura sa nefirească, Mirabella și Arsinoe se află în exil, confruntându-se cu chemarea mistică a pământului natal. Atmosfera amintește de Cursed Crowns de Katherine Webber, unde rivalitatea între surori și greutatea tronului sunt centrale, dar în Two Dark Reigns, personajele sunt mult mai ancorate într-o estetică întunecată, unde magia are un cost fizic și emoțional ridicat. Introducerea lui Jules ca lider al revoluției adaugă un strat nou de complexitate politică, transformând o dispută de familie într-un conflict social de amploare. Credem că forța acestui roman stă în modul în care autorul refuză soluțiile simple. Nu mai este vorba doar despre cine merită să conducă, ci despre modul în care insula însăși reacționează la corupția puterii. Ritmul este alert, susținut de capitole care alternează perspectivele reginelor, oferind o viziune panoramică asupra unei lumi aflate în pragul colapsului.

Textul de pe ultima copertă

KATHARINE HAS WAITED HER WHOLE LIFE TO TAKE THE THRONE.
And with the fury of the dead queens roaring beneath her skin, her time has come. But many still challenge her rule, and with the whereabouts of her sisters unknown, Katharine’s anxiety grows. Then bodies mysteriously start washing ashore, throwing Fennbirn into a panic.
Hiding out on the Mainland, Arsinoe and Mirabella try to make a life for themselves away from all they’ve lost. But it’s not long until home beckons: Arsinoe is haunted by visions of the legendary Blue Queen, a rare and mystical fourth-born queen who died hundreds of years earlier.
Jules, after befriending a war-gifted girl named Emilia, learns there is a rebel army that wants to usurp the throne—and they want Jules to lead the charge.
A queen on the throne, two on their way home, and an unexpected renegade who’s gone to ground . . . the crown has been won, but these queens are far from done.

Three Dark Crowns is a brutal and inventive fantasy that is as addictive as it is horrifying.
