Tavish grinned. “You know, if you die in this battle, you won’t have to marry anyone.”

I choked mid-sip, spilling water down my shirt. “Well, that’s a bright thought. Thanks.”

“I’m a tactician. Always thinking.”

I don't which one of Rafe's friends is my ultimate favorite. They're all so fine and funny in their own ways 🥹

Resenha The Kiss of Deception, Mary E. Pearson

Escrito por: Mary

A primeira obra da trilogia de Mary E. Pearson lançada em 2014 é uma alta fantasia que se passa no Reino de Morrighan, especialmente na capital, Civica, e em Terravin, publicada no Brasil pela editora DARKSIDE em 2016, vem atraindo cada vez mais leitores com sua forma de narrar, suas lendas, intrigas, acontecimentos e plot twists, muitos plot twists.

Não querendo viver presa em um casamento arranjado e sem amor, a primeira filha do reino de Morrighan, princesa Arabella Celestine Idris Jezelia — mais conhecida como Lia —, decide fugir. Esconde-se em um vilarejo junto à sua melhor amiga, Pauline, alheia à busca que o príncipe com quem se casaria inicia, missão esta que é semelhante ao do assassino encarregado de livrar-se da princesa. No entanto, quando Lia os conhece pela primeira vez, não desconfia de suas identidades. E enquanto acompanhamos o desenvolvimento de Lia e os relacionamentos com os rapazes, resta descobrirmos quem é o príncipe e quem é o assassino.

Arabella Celestine Idris Jezelia? Pauline? Rafe e Kaden? Decidida, corajosa, justa, uma verdadeira líder, a primeira filha de Morrighan protagoniza The Kiss of Deception, acompanhada de sua fiel amiga, Pauline, Lia vive escondida sob uma nova identidade em uma taverna em Terravin. Nela, acabam conhecendo Rafe e Kaden, mercador e pescador, ou ao menos era o que acreditavam.

A forma como a obra foi organizada me prendeu do início ao fim, pois ela não narra apenas a história da protagonista, mas também a de seus ancestrais, entre certos capítulos, há textos ancestrais que narram uma espécie de profecia sobre uma heroína que chegaria para unir os reinos e libertar o povo. Os Últimos Testemunhos de Gaudrel, Livro dos Textos Sagrados de Morrighan, Canção de Venda, cada um nos ajuda a compreender um pouco mais de como a situação dos reinos chegou a tal ponto, como o motivo para o Assassino estar atrás da princesa, além de nos dar uma prévia do futuro de Lia, nossa heroína. Além disso, acredito que Pearson construiu a obra tão bem que, admito, fui enganada por ela e errei quem era o Príncipe e quem era o Assassino. Mas enfim, The Kiss of Deception inicia magnificamente a jornada de Lia e seus amigos nas Crônicas de Amor e Ódio, nos deixando ansiosos para abrir o próximo livro e descobrir o que vem em seguida.

And though the wait may be long,

The promise is great,

For the one named Jezelia,

Whose life will be sacrificed

For the hope of saving yours.

Orrin snorted. “All she needs is one look at my pretty face, and she’d call it off with you. Besides, I’m an archer. I bring home dinner. What do you have to offer?”

Bruh, I'm so in love with Rafe's friends. They're all green flags. Orrin, who cooks. Jeb, who is a fashionista. Tavish, who plans. Sven, who thinks before he speaks. And Rafe himself... Mm Mmm mMMmm.

Lia really just is this one girl who invented the term girls support girls and it really shows on a daily basis.

Also in other news, everytime Arabella Celestine Idriss Jezelia breathes it's another win for women's rights and it shows

K, L, and W for the fandom ask!

Thanks, Leslie!!!

K - How do you feel about the other people in your current fandom

If you had asked me about this last year, I would have said something pretty nasty, I’ll admit. Back then I was really tired of anti’s constantly harassing people and fans pouring gasoline on the fire by responding. 

Now though? I’m really happy about our little group here. I’m so happy seeing this fandom coming back to life with creativity in the form of mature discussions, fanartists supporting each other and lots of indulgent fanfiction. We’re really not letting negativity affect us, huh?

L - Your favorite fanartist/author gives you one request, what do you ask for

This one is a little weird. Basically, I’m really disappointed that Elide and Manon don’t really interact during Koa. Which is pretty shocking. They were both mutually important to one another's development.

So, basically, I want fanart of Manon helping Elide embrace her Ironteeth heritage by feasting on the blood of a man that Manon had slain. (obviously whatever hypothetical man we’re talking about is a terrible person who deserves it.) Is this too weird? I’ve been told it’s weird.

W - 5 favorite characters from 5 different fandoms

Ah, the pains of derealization/depersonalization, you barely remember anything about you’re own damn life. Can’t remember half the fandoms I’ve been in, lol.

Definitely gotta mention my boy Percy Jackson, to this day still one of the few male characters that haven’t let me down yet! (I think Percy set my standards for male characters, honestly. he’s such a sweetheart) PJO was my lifeblood back in my childhood. Recently found out the RR wrote another folklore series called the Kain Chronicles with a black protag while back, might pick that up for nostalgia alone.

Back during my weeb years, I loved Edward Elric with a fiery passion. Absolutely loved an angry, male character that wasn’t a complete and utter fucking ass. And I found his morals really interesting because he and Alphonse didn’t want to kill anyone but still wanted happiness. They took the high road, despite the hardships and were adamantly good people. Especially since they were surrounded by people who (based on appearances alone) were fine with killing people.

I like to play video games, especially RPGs, ESPECIALLY J-RPGs (they’re very long and full of little details, plus you get to kick a god’s ass in most of them), so I have to mention Riki the Heropon. Now, I know what you’re thinking, “Bryanna, I just googled this person and they’re some weird looking furry creature.” And you’re right. But my heart always melts for the comic relief who is secretly very intelligent and makes a fool of themselves on purpose to make the friends they love smile. Plus its absolutely hilarious when you find out he is 40 and has a “wifeypon” named Oka and many, MANY “littlepon”.

I love the protagonist of The Remnant Chronicles, Arabella Celestine Idris Jezelia, or just Lia. I’ve recommended this series to you, Leslie. And, honestly, I wouldn’t be mad if you put it down and never touched it again after not finishing the first book (the slow pace is such a glaring flaw) But I love how she goes from this scared princess literally running away from her problems, to this young woman ready to stand against the world and defend the culture of the oppressed people that took her in.it’s just, something that speaks to me as a Latina, as the child of a conquered land. It reached into my chest and gripped my heart, it never let go. (the romance in this series is very, very different from YA standard. In a good way.)

And last (but certainly not least) we obviously have Aelin Ashryver Galathynius. You already know my thoughts on Aelin. And this post is getting long enough already.

The Kiss Of Deception

Synopsis:

She flees on her wedding day. She steals ancient documents from the Chancellor’s secret collection. She is pursued by bounty hunters sent by her own father. She is Princess Lia, seventeen, First Daughter of the House of Morrighan.

The Kingdom of Morrighan is steeped in tradition and the stories of a bygone world, but some traditions Lia can’t abide. Like having to marry someone she’s never met to secure a political alliance.

Fed up and ready for a new life, Lia escapes to a distant village on the morning of her wedding. She settles in among the common folk, intrigued when two mysterious and handsome strangers arrive—and unaware that one is the jilted prince and the other an assassin sent to kill her. Deceptions swirl and Lia finds herself on the brink of unlocking perilous secrets—secrets that may unravel her world—even as she feels herself falling in love.

Title: The Kiss Of Deception Series: The Remnant Chronicles Author: Mary E. Pearson Pages:  490 pages (Paperback) Published: June 2nd 2015 by Square Fish (first published July 8th 2014) Characters: Arabella "Lia" Celestine Idris Jezelia, Rafe (Remnant Chronicles), Kaden (Remnant Chronicles), Pauline (Remnant Chronicles) Genre: Fantasy, Young Adult, Romance, Adventure

The fact that The Kiss of Deception is above par became apparent early on. The opening is common enough, with a princess running away from her arranged marriage, willing to marry only for the deepest love. Where this differs is in Lia’s attitude. She feels bad about leaving. Her emotions are complex and she does worry about her family. Not only that, but she continues to worry and wonder if she’s made the right choice even when her new life working in a tavern is going so well. Though she chooses to be without her family, she does so with a heavy heart and she never forgets them.

Much has been made of the love triangle aspect of The Kiss of Deception which is honestly a bit misleading. The way that the book is set up, with multiple points of view, does make it feel that way a bit, but Lia’s pretty consistent about where her romantic interests lie. Of course, you don’t actually know which guys she’s interested in, because Mary E. Pearson is a clever trickster. The romance didn’t enter major shipping levels for me, but I definitely do not think anyone should let the idea of a love triangle scare them away from this one.

My favorite aspect of The Kiss of Deception is Pearson’s storytelling. First of all, Pearson does an excellent job with the different first person perspectives. I was able to easily distinguish whose head I was in at any given point. Plus, she writes the story in such a way that you cannot tell for sure which guy is the prince and which the assassin. Though I knew Pearson was messing with me, I was left guessing and theorizing and totally obsessed with the book to find out who was who. This gambit was quite effective at keeping the pace fast and the mood tense. I could have done without a single chapter from Pauline’s POV, but I suppose if it’s important in later books, it makes sense to include now.

On top of that, I really do admire Lia’s character arc. From a pampered princess knowing little of the outside world, she becomes an incredibly strong woman. She always had the bones for it, of course: curiosity, intelligence and daring. Now, though, she finally has the freedom to figure out what she can really do. She goes through really intense situations and she always emerges stronger and more determined. I don’t generally believe that what doesn’t kill you really makes you stronger, but that definitely applies to Lia.

For what I didn’t like, that’s hard for me to really put my finger on. There’s a semi-spoilery plot with Lia’s best friend Pauline, which so far I do not care for in the least. The romance really should have been giving me some feels, but it really wasn’t. This could have been a side effect of not knowing who the guy really was, I suppose. Plot-wise, too, the novel’s pretty simple and not too much happens. That said, the stage is set for a truly epic and dark series, if the gruesomeness and death toll in The Kiss of Deception is any indicator.

Mary E. Pearson’s The Kiss of Deception is a great start to a new fantasy series. Recommended for those who enjoy heroines strong in a way that’s more mental than physical or multiple points of view done well. I’m very much looking forward to the next installment, which will hopefully blow this one out of the water.

Título: The Kiss of Deception Série: Crônicas de Amor e Ódio Autora: Mary E. Pearson Editora: DarkSide Books Páginas: 406 . O livro conta a história da Lia a princesa Arabella Celestine Idris Jezelia, a primeira filha de um reino chamado Morrighan. O livro começa com as preparações para seu casamento, com um príncipe de um reino próximo; um homem que ela nunca viu na vida, e o real propósito desse casamento é fazer uma aliança entre os dois reinos, ou seja, Lia está sendo obrigada a se casar com alguém que não ama e nem tão pouco conhece, Lia foge com sua melhor amiga Pauline indo parar em um pequeno vilarejo, em busca da sua liberdade. Pouco tempo depois, aparece dois homens mistérios em Terravin que lia não sabe que um é um assassino e outro o príncipe que ela ia se casar. Ao longo da leitura não sabemos que é o príncipe e quem o assassino fiquei doida quando estava lendo querendo saber quem era quem confesso que errei feio sobre quem seria quem. O início pode parecer um pouco lento mais depois vai ficar melhor. Então dê uma chance e leia que vai se apaixonar por esse história. Terminei esse livro já querendo pegar o segundo The Heart of Betrayal mas estava fazendo maratona literária tive que deixar pra depois. Essa edição é toda maravilhosa! A capa é linda, a diagramação mais ainda. A escrita da autora é muito deliciosa e fluida, daquelas que você começa a ler e não quer mais largar foi o que aconteceu comigo não conseguia parar de ler. Super recomendo. . Nota: 5/5 . Quotes: (...) não é bom viver no talvez. O talvez pode ser distorcido e transformado em coisas que nunca existiram de verdade. (...) . (...)Talvez não houvesse nenhuma forma de definir o sentimento. Talvez houvesse tantos tons de amor quanto existem tons de azul no céu.(...) (em Matão)
