Treze Más Histórias Para Adormecer de Ana Cláudia Dâmaso
By Unknown - julho 16, 2018
There’s no such thing as safe in a city at war, a city overrun with monsters. In this dark urban fantasy from author Victoria Schwab, a young woman and a young man must choose whether to become heroes or villains—and friends or enemies—with the future of their home at stake. The first of two books.
Kate Harker and August Flynn are the heirs to a divided city—a city where the violence has begun to breed actual monsters. All Kate wants is to be as ruthless as her father, who lets the monsters roam free and makes the humans pay for his protection. All August wants is to be human, as good-hearted as his own father, to play a bigger role in protecting the innocent—but he’s one of the monsters. One who can steal a soul with a simple strain of music. When the chance arises to keep an eye on Kate, who’s just been kicked out of her sixth boarding school and returned home, August jumps at it. But Kate discovers August’s secret, and after a failed assassination attempt the pair must flee for their lives.
Eu estou completamente... inquestionavelmente... fã da Victoria Schwab. Eu nunca pensei que fosse possível que Strange The Dreamer fosse derrubado e ele foi... ou melhor está agora com companheiros, que são todos os livros da Victoria Schwab. Este ano eu li a trilogia de Darker Shade of Magic e adorei, mas quando foi seleccionado o livro This Savage Song para o Clube de Leituras fiquei um pouco receosa, porque estou habituada que quando leio o primeiro livro de um autor e adoro, o segundo que leio vai me deixar desapontada. Mas... graças aos deuses da literatura, eu amei o livro!
Agora o inicio infelizmente foi um pouco confusa, ficava muito perdida com os nomes dos monstros e do que poderiam significar devido a isso, fez me ficar um pouco a parte na historia, no entanto, no verse 2, a historia começou a melhorar e comecei a adorar as personagens. E a historia entre as duas personagens principais foi do género, Bela e o Monstro mas ao contrario. E eu fiquei yes!!! Destemida conta a história de Fallon, a filha mais nova de um orgulhoso rei celta e sempre viveu na sombra da lendária reputação da guerreira Sorcha, a sua irmã mais velha, que morreu em combate quando os exércitos de Júlio César invadiram a ilha da Bretanha.Na véspera do seu 17.º aniversário, Fallon está ansiosa por seguir os passos da irmã e conquistar o seu legítimo lugar entre os guerreiros reais. Mas ela nunca terá essa oportunidade, já que é capturada e vendida a uma escola de elite que treina mulheres gladiadoras —e cujo patrono é o próprio Júlio César. Numa cruel reviravolta do destino, o homem que destruiu a família da jovem poderá ser a sua única hipótese de sobrevivência. Agora, Fallon terá de ultrapassar rivalidades perversas e combates mortais — dentro e fora da arena. E talvez a maior ameaça de todas: os seus sentimentos proibidos, porém irresistíveis, por Cai, um jovem soldado romano.

Thou shalt kill.
A world with no hunger, no disease, no war, no misery. Humanity has conquered all those things, and has even conquered death. Now scythes are the only ones who can end life—and they are commanded to do so, in order to keep the size of the population under control.
Citra and Rowan are chosen to apprentice to a scythe—a role that neither wants. These teens must master the “art” of taking life, knowing that the consequence of failure could mean losing their own.
Rowan and Citra take opposite stances on the morality of the Scythedom, putting them at odds, in the second novel of the chilling New York Times bestselling series from Neal Shusterman, author of the Unwind dystology.
Rowan has gone rogue, and has taken it upon himself to put the Scythedom through a trial by fire. Literally. In the year since Winter Conclave, he has gone off-grid, and has been striking out against corrupt scythes—not only in MidMerica, but across the entire continent. He is a dark folk hero now—“Scythe Lucifer”—a vigilante taking down corrupt scythes in flames.
Citra, now a junior scythe under Scythe Curie, sees the corruption and wants to help change it from the inside out, but is thwarted at every turn, and threatened by the “new order” scythes. Realizing she cannot do this alone—or even with the help of Scythe Curie and Faraday, she does the unthinkable, and risks being “deadish” so she can communicate with the Thunderhead—the only being on earth wise enough to solve the dire problems of a perfect world. But will it help solve those problems, or simply watch as perfection goes into decline?
