Opis

In a richly crafted world where clairvoyance is both a gift and a curse, individuals with supernatural abilities face constant peril. The society depicted is one where certain talents are not only feared but strictly controlled by the ruling powers. Deep within this intricate tapestry of oppression and rebellion, the protagonist finds herself navigating a dangerous landscape filled with enigma and betrayal.

With each turn of the page, readers are drawn into a gripping tale of survival and resilience. The protagonist’s journey is marked by a struggle against the oppressive forces that seek to suppress her gifts, leading her to unexpected alliances and profound self-discovery. The vivid descriptions of both the dystopian cityscape and the cryptic supernatural elements keep the reader on the edge of their seat, eager to uncover the secrets hidden within the shadows.

As the story unfolds, themes of friendship, power, and the quest for autonomy resonate deeply, creating a narrative that is as thought-provoking as it is thrilling. This anniversary edition not only celebrates the original story but enhances it, inviting both new and returning readers to delve into the captivating universe that has captured the imaginations of many.

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!
