Historia
Zélie Adebola remembers when the soil of Orïsha hummed with magic. Burners ignited flames, Tiders beckoned waves, and Zélie’s Reaper mother summoned forth souls. But everything changed the night magic disappeared. Under the orders of a ruthless king, maji were killed, leaving Zélie without a mother and her people without hope. Now Zélie has one chance to bring back magic and strike against the monarchy. With the help of a rogue princess, Zélie must outwit and outrun the crown prince, who is hell-bent on eradicating magic for good.

Weighed down by being y.a.
Revisado: 05-21-18
A cool setting and magic system, decent characters and story that is unfortunately weighed down by being groanworthily y.a.

Historia
The capital has fallen. The Darkling rules Ravka from his shadow throne. Now the nation's fate rests with a broken Sun Summoner, a disgraced tracker, and the shattered remnants of a once-great magical army. Deep in an ancient network of tunnels and caverns, a weakened Alina must submit to the dubious protection of the Apparat and the zealots who worship her as a Saint. Yet her plans lie elsewhere, with the hunt for the elusive firebird and the hope that an outlaw prince still survives.

Better, worse
Revisado: 07-31-17
Better than the first book in the trilogy, not nearly as good as her second series.

4.5
Revisado: 07-21-17
I wish I could give 4.5, this book is an improvment over the first in the trilogy but not nearly as good as Six of Crows.

ok

Better than I expected, it ended up being fairly entertaining and clever despite being rather predictable.

starts out very promising, fun characters, but the uninventive plot somehow manages to make alchemy and pirates dull.

very odd
Revisado: 02-15-17
This is a very odd story, there were a lot of aspects that I liked, but many parts felt like they went on too long. As much as I think many authors detrimentally avoid talking about bodily fluids and functions, the author went to far in the other direction and described everything in an almost fetishistic manner, and does not seem to know a single synonym for shit or piss. The setting and interesting structure of the story telling were probably the best parts, but weren't enough to overcome the tediousness and I found myself struggling to finish listening. The readers are very good though and I would definately listen to other books narrated by them.

Very Slow
Revisado: 02-10-16
The story is a but slow, drags a bit, but all other aspects of the writing are excellent, and the setting was very interesting. You get so many historical fiction stories set in the same places, london, ny, etc- setting the story in the early colonial south was a unique choice and the author obviously did his research and managed to bring the time and place to life.
