Descrizione

In the year 2059, the Republic of Scion stands as a bastion of safety in a world fraught with supernatural threats. For two hundred years, it has enforced strict regulations in an attempt to maintain peace, stifling those with special abilities and branding them as dangerous. Among these gifted individuals is Paige Mahoney, a young clairvoyant who operates in the shadows of London’s underground.

Paige's life is a precarious balance between survival and freedom, navigating Scion's oppressive laws while exploiting her abilities in a hidden society of other gifted people. When she finds herself captured and taken to the mysterious realm of the Aether, Paige’s world turns upside down. Here, the rules are different, and her survival hinges on her ability to adapt and understand the truth behind her captors and their dark intentions.

As Paige navigates this perilous environment, she uncovers layers of conspiracy that challenge everything she has ever known. Faced with danger at every turn, she must forge alliances and confront her inner demons, all while striving to reclaim her autonomy. The journey is one of self-discovery and resilience as she learns the weight of her powers and the responsibility they entail.

Set against a backdrop of a dystopian future, this tale intertwines elements of fantasy and adventure, presenting a vivid and imaginative exploration of strength in adversity. With rich world-building and complex characters, it captivates readers, drawing them into a gripping narrative where every decision could mean the difference between life and death.

Recensioni

2.0

I technically read this twice - once last year with the first edition and once a few weeks ago with the revised version. I wasn't inclined to pick up the sequel with the first read, and I still feel the same way even after the reading the revised version.I think my gripe is that everything still feels too big, we're thrusted into a dystopian future with an alternate history with psychics, and then we're thrusted into what feels like that game We Happy Few - people are in poverty and drugs are used to forget the pain while they are oppressed by the Rephaim. Meanwhile, Paige is going through trials and trying to not die. And I'm over here trying to play catch-up in double time. By the end, I'm not invested enough to care what happens to our characters. I really doubt I'll read the sequel - however I did start The Priory of the Orange Tree a while back, so I'm hopeful different characters and settings will have me give Samantha Shannon another try!
