Am primit aceasta carte spre recenzare de la libraria online Bookcity, careia ii multumesc enorm pentru acesta poveste incredibila, care mi-a placut :)
Totusi, cineva se muta pana la urma. Aceea este Lena, fata cu ochii verzi si parul negru.care s-a aflat in fiecare vis al lui Ethan. Cei doi par sa aibe o conexiune aparte, vocea ei putandu-se auzi in mintea baiatului.
Fiindca Lena este fiica batranului Ravenwood, numit incuiatul orasului, ea este tratata urat si vorbita indelung de ceilalti locuitori.
Mi-a placut felul in care este scrisa cartea, cursiv si domol. Nu domol-nu-se-va-mai-intampla-nimic, ci domol-ma-cufund-in-carte-si-uit-de-ce-e-in-jurul-meu. Mi-a amintit putin de "Fior" de Maggie Stiefvater, insa aceea este cu totul si cu totul o alta poveste.
Am si auzit ca se va ecraniza cartea :) dar nu prea mi-au placut actorii. Mi-a placut cum evolueaza actiunea, nici fulgerator, dar nici lent. Personajele negative sunt create cu multa iscusinta, deoarece enerveaza orice cititor, acestea fiind "fitoasele" de la orice scoala: Savannah si Emily.Cand la engleza se sparge un geam, ele exsagereaza, dand vina pe Lena, cum ca ea il sparsese, si asa incepe tot calvarul. Ele nu se lasa, si vor mai mult ca orice sa o exmatriculeze. Nici nu te miri de unde asa ambitii, cu mamele lor in consiliul DAR, o chestie foarte banala, dar care lor le da dreptul sa-i puna pe toti sa faca ce vor ele.
Pe langa asta, mai este si Ethan, indragostit pana peste cap de Lena. El afla ca pe fata o urmareste blestemul Casterilor, si cum ca la a 16ea aniversare va fi revendicata, si anume daca va deveni Intunecata, de partea raului, sau Luminata, fiind de parte binelui.
Mai mult, de cand o intalneste in carne si oase pe Lena, toata viata i se schimba. Vechile prietenii de strica, insa unicul cel mai bun prieten, Link, personaj care mi-a placut enorm ii ramane aproape, chiar si cand mama lui ii interzice asta. Urmeaza balul iernii, cand Ridley(verisoara Intunecata a Lenei) face prapad, si ghici pe cine cade vina? Lena! Savanah, Emily si Charlotte fac un fel de grup "Ingerii liceului", o idee absolut penibila- pentru apararea elevilor hartuiti. Lumea chiar se revolta.
Trecand peste asta, cand Macon intra in joc le da o clasa, wow. In plus, personajele mai cauta un grimoir, o carte veche de vraji, si urmeaza multe aventuri. Mi-a placut mult cartea! Sincer, m-am saturat pana peste cap de povestioare banale, in care nu exista decat iubirea. Aici iubirea este un simbol! Nu am regretat nicio clipa de cand am inceput "A 16ea luna". A fost o poveste incredibila, din care nu as modifica prea mult. Ca in orice carte care respecta, este plina de rasturnari de situatie, si un puncvt culminant adevarat. Stiti ce inseamna asta? Nu 2 pagini, nu 5 pagini, ci 40. Aproximativ. Asa da!
Daca ar fi un singur lucru pe care as fi vrut sa-l adaug la carte: precum in "Fior" sau "Sovaire", mi-as fi dorit cateva scene emotionate, gen: imi vine sa plang. Cele doua autoare ar fi putut adauga mai multe momente de acest gen. Nu ma intelegeti gresit, au fost clipe romantice, insa mi-ar fi placut sa le dramatizeze un pic mai mult.
Acum, daca Lena va reusi sa le infranga pe mironositele de la Jackson (liceul), sau de ce parte va fi Revendicata, sau daca Ethan isi va mai contacta mama, sau care e faza cu mama Lenei, si multe multe multe altele, veti afla in paginile, de fapt in cuvintele, cartii.
NOTA: 5.5

Of, frate! A inceput de-a binelea scoala. An greu, anul asta. Ce sa zis. Nu mai am timp de nimic. Bine, acum poate si pentru ca dimineata sunt moarta de somn si ma culc la loc, gen: scoala-te la 8. Da, da bine, si 5 minute mai tarziu dorm. Scularea: in jur de 10 30. Apoi, ca si cand nu ar fi suficient, da-i, apuca-te de teme, invata si la 12-13 pleaca la scoala. Serios???
Pe langa asta, abia a inceput anul. Peste 2 luni jumate dam in teze, si Bum, mai multe teme. Greu cu scoala asta... Ei bine, ce sa ma mai vaiet, va las si pe voi.
Vo posta maine recenzia de la "A 16-a luna" -bestiala cartea - . As fi pus-o mai devreme, dar nu am avut timp sa citesc. Dupa ea ma apuc de "Demon hunting in the deep south" de Lexi George, si poate 1-2 spre recenzare. Poate primesc in sfarsit un E-reader ca tot vine ziua mea. Ma rog, o sa continui cu In my dreams, The hallowed ones, si alte carti.
Noutatile de la Leda nu ma incanta deloc. Pan acum. Nu mi-a placut deloc "Chimie perfecta", iar "Blestemul focului" nu am citit-o -poate , poate.
Voi ce mai ziceti?

Madison Daniel is the author of "Ember". Thank you for the interview and hpe you liked to to it !
1. I know that this is the question that every writer hates, but everyone always asks:
How do you get inspired? From where do you get your ideas?
MD: Music is my biggest inspiration. My dreams and wicked imagination are the
breeding ground for most of my writing.
2. What did you always want to be? How do you decided to be a writer? At what age
do you decided you want to be a writer?
MD: A musician and artist. I sing, I paint, I write. It’s just in my blood. I decided that
writing was a profession I’d embrace about 4 years ago.
3. How do you keep on staying motivated? I know that to write a book it’s a really
hard work, so how could you continue this work?
MD: The readers and fans have been a fantastic motivation for me. On those days,
when the last thing I feel like doing is writing, my stalkers give me strength. :)
4. I know that your books have a great story, so how did you decide that you wanted
to write fantasy? When did you begin to write this book? In what year did you begin
and how long did this book take to write?
MD: I just write what I feel, whether it is fantasy or romance or horror. Ember was
written in the summer of 2008. It took about 3 weeks to finish the first version. It came
out of me quickly!
5. Your book has extraordinary characters. Where do you start a book, with plot,
characters or dialogue?
MD: I usually write a scene. Something emotional and heavy and then let the story
unfold from there. I also design characters on paper, in illustrations and give them full
backgrounds and stuff.
6. Where do you write? Do you write with music, or do you have something that help
you to have imagination?
MD: I write wherever I can. If an idea hits me, I scribble it down in my notebook I always
have with me. Or I type up the idea on my iPad or iPhone. Music is usually around while
I do one or the other. Most of the time, music is what has inspired me to write down the
newest idea.
7. How was your life at 13 years? Did you keep a diary? It was a special notebook or
just an ordinary notebook? You decorated it, or you have draws in it? How was the
cover?
MD: 13 was an awkward stage. I had just started writing and singing in a band. I have
plenty of old notebooks of song lyrics and comic book ideas. No official diaries though. I
like to think that those old songs read like a diary though. :)
8. What books did you read between 12-18 years? What was your favorite?
MD: Sadly, I wasn’t much of a reader until I was 18 or so. I read a handful of sci-fi
stories and a couple Stephen King books. He has always been my favorite author.
9. Do you like your new writer life? Is it beautiful, or how much did your life change
from the moment you published your books?
MD: Things have been a blast since I published my books. I love it. I have met some
amazing people. Found possible life long friends. I wake up everyday ready to face the
next challenge. I hope to be published in Romania soon! Fingers crossed!
10. What advice do you have for teen writers?
MD: Read as much as you can. Study your favorite authors, musicians and actors. Write
whenever you can. Trust your words and surround yourself with honest, caring people.
Avoid the negative ones.
11. When is your birthday? And how old are you?
MD: My birthday is in July, I am a Cancer sign. My age is a secret...for now. Hahaha. :)
12. What is your favorite quote?
MD: Hmmm... “Music is LIFE & the written word is our SOUL.”
Thank you very much for the interview! What message do you have for your fans in
Romania?
MD: Thank you!!! This was fun. I hope we can do this again. To all the Romanian
readers and people: I LOVE YOU ALL!!! You have been so encouraging and supportive
of my writing, I owe you so much. I hope to meet some of you one day on a future,
international book tour. Until then...shine on! You rock my world! ~ M

White knuckles and sweaty palms from hanging on too tight
Clench of jaw, I've got another headache again tonight
Eyes on fire, eyes on fire, and the burn from all the tears
I've been crying, I've been crying, I've been dying over you
Tie a knot in the rope, trying to hold, trying to hold,
But there's nothing to grab so I let go
I think I've finally had enough, I think I maybe think too much
I think this might be it for us (blow me one last kiss)
You think I'm just too serious, I think you're full of sh-t
My head is spinning so (blow me one last kiss)
Just when I think it can't get worse, I had a sh-t day (no!)
You had a sh-t day (no!), we've had a sh-t day (no!)
I think that life's too short for this
I'll pack my ignorance and bliss
I think I've had enough of this, Blow me on last kiss.
I won't miss all of the fighting that we always did,
Take it in, I mean what I say when I say there is nothing left
I am sick, whiskey-dick, no more battles for me
You'll be calling a trick, cause you'll no longer sleep
I'll dress nice, I'll look good, I'll go dancing alone
I'll laugh, I'll get drunk, I'll take somebody home
I think I've finally had enough, I think I maybe think too much
I think this might be it for us (blow me one last kiss)
You think I'm just too serious, I think you're full of sh-t
My head is spinning so (blow me one last kiss)
Just when I think it can't get worse, I had a sh-t day (no!)
You had a sh-t day (no!), we've had a sh-t day (no!)
I think that life's too short for this, I'll pack my ignorance and bliss
I think I've had enough of this. Blow me on last kiss.
I will do what I please, anything that I want
I will breathe, I won't breathe, I won't worry at all
You will pay for your sins, you'll be sorry my dear
All the lies, all the wise, will be crystal clear
I think I've finally had enough, I think I maybe think too much
I think this might be it for us (blow me one last kiss)
You think I'm just too serious, I think you're full of sh-t
My head is spinning so (blow me one last kiss)
Just when I think it can't get worse, I had a sh-t day (no!)
You had a sh-t day (no!), we've had a sh-t day (no!)
I think that life's too short for this, I'll pack my ignorance and bliss
I think I've had enough of this. Blow me on last kiss
Blow me on last kiss
Blow me on last kiss
Just when I think it can't get worse, I had a sh-t day (no!)
You had a sh-t day (no!), we've had a sh-t day (no!)
I think that life's too short for this, I'll pack my ignorance and bliss
I think I've had enough of this. Blow me on last kiss…

Dragilor, imi pare rau! Postasul a esuat lamentabil. Joi, vineri nu a mai trecut. Avea de adus niste lucrusoare pentru maraton. Ei bine, asta inseamna ca luam o mica pauza. Nu fa ingrijorati! Vom reveni cu maraton, partea a doua, cand se va deranja sa vina :)
Pana atunci, aveti trei concursuri in desfasurare, pe care le gasiti in bara stanga a blogului. Succes!

Am primit "Legaminte" spre recenzare de la libraria online Bookcity, careia ii multumesc pentru ocazia de a citi aceasta distopie interesanta si deosebita.
Cassia are 17 ani. Este emotionata pentru ca trebuie sa-si afle perechea. Surpriza este aceea ca Perechea ei, aleasa de Societate, este chiar Xander, prietenul ei cel mai bun. Am asemanat aceasta carte imediat cu "Jocurile foamei". Este imposibil sa nu remarci aspectele comune dintre ele.
Dupa acea seara, fiecare primea un microcard ce continea date despre pereche lui. Cassiei ii apare pe microcard chipul lui Ky, un alt baiat de la scoala.
Oficialitatile o conving repede ca a fost o eroare, ca Ky nu poate fi perechea ei deoarece este o Aberatie. Aberatie. Serios?
Nu mi-a placut in mod deosebit romanul. Incepe frumos. Mi-a placut inceputul. Continua, pana la pagina 200 lent. I-a lipsit mult actiunea! Cele 200 de pagini sunt umplute de moartea bunicului sau, de temeri si de alte chestii.. Nici scrisul lui Ally nu este fenomenal, asa ca...
A avut, intr-adevar unicitate si am apreciat. Nu am inteles de ce a insistat atat de mult pe staticitate. Cand am crezut ca ultimele 100 de pagini vor fi pline de actiune, m-am inselat din nou. A avut ceva poezii dragute, dar nu fenomenale. Mi-a displacut instantaneu asemanarea cu "Jocurile Foamei". Foarte mult. A adaugat acelasi decor cu padurea, actiunea petrecandu-se si acolo. Totusi, sa va spun de ce mi-a dispacut: JF e plina de actiune! Lui "Legaminte" ii lipseste desavarsit actiunea.
Societatea mi s-a parut teribil de bizara. Tot timpul se baga in vietile oamenilor si aleg pentru ei si asta m-a enervat. Comparata cu "Atingerea lui Juliette", "Jocurile foamei" , "Vampirii sudului" , "Micutele mincinoase" si alte serii mi se pare inferioara "Legaminte". M-am asteptat la ceva super. Am fost, din pacate, dezamagita. Acum nu spun ca voi n-ar trebui sa o cititi! Nu strica nimanui, insa mi-am expus parerea mea dupa ce am terminat-o.
Xander, Perechea Cassiei e OK. Nu mi se pare atat de prezent. El e "prietenul cel mai bun care o iubeste, dar ea nu-l iubeste ca iubit" . Ky e dragut, un baiat care a suferit enorm cand si-a pierdut parintii. Autoarea a mai "salvat" din actiune cu schimbul de poezii si mesaje dintre Cassia si Ky. La inceput a mers, apoi m-a plictisit. Cand am ajuns la pagina 251 am zis "Oare are punct culminant"? "Oare are suspans" ? Tindeam spre un: NU gravat.
Cassia nu mi-a placut in mod deosebit ca personaj. Este atat de retrasa si face absolut tot ce zice societatea. Treptat, mai incalca regulile.
Coperta din state mi-a placut mult mai mult. Exprima enorm de mult. Nu am simtit dorinta de a afla mai mult despre Ky. Mi-a parut rau de el, insa nu m-am indragostit de el. Daca as fi fost in locul autoarei as fi taiat primele 200 de pagini si as fi rescris povestea mai antrenant. Mai misterios si cu mult mai mult suspans. Nu spun ca "Raspanditii" nu merita citita. Mi-am pus intrebari, si cred cu siguranta ca in volumul doi voi gasi raspunsurile.
Pe langa deficitul enorm de actiune, personajele prea putin creionate sau originale, recunosc ca m-a dezamagit. Imi pare rau. Poate altora le-am placut, doar ca eu am facut recenzia din opinia mea si cu parerile si comparatiile si gandurile mele.
NOTA: 2/5
