Zamilovala jsem se do fantasy titulů, které jsou buď zasazeny do asijského prostředí, nebo čerpají z jejich mytologie. To není tento případ. S knihou jsem lehce bojovala. Dokud se Rin nedostala do akademie, tak jsem s ní dokázala soucítit a zajímalo mě, jestli zkoušky složí. Asi od poloviny knížky jsem doufala, že jí někdo prokáže laskavost a zabije ji... Válka není zajímavá. Pouze jeden masakr mnou otřásl, ale to proto, že momentálně sleduji tu kalamitu s Izraelem a jsem “citlivější. A ten konec? Za mě kapku “odfláklé. Rin - jako postava nefunguje. Její chování neodpovídá jejímu věku a tomu, co se učila. Taková druhá Arila (to jsme totiž potřebovali). Vulgarity - trapné, hloupé a často užity totálně nevhodně. Ťiang - kdyby nebyl fetkou, tak by mi připomínal asijskou verzi Halta.

Viac o knihe
One of Time Magazine's 100 Best Fantasy Books of All Time, this debut from R.F. Kuang is an epic historical military fantasy inspired by China's tumultuous twentieth century, filled with treachery and magic. When Rin, a war orphan from Rooster Province, unexpectedly excels in the Keju—an Empire-wide test for the most talented youth—her life changes dramatically. Accepted into Sinegard, the elite military school, she faces prejudice as a dark-skinned peasant girl. Targeted by classmates for her background, Rin discovers her extraordinary talent for shamanism, a nearly-mythical art. With the help of an unconventional teacher and psychoactive substances, she learns that long-forgotten gods are alive and that mastering her powers could be crucial for survival. While the Nikara Empire appears peaceful, the looming threat of the Federation of Mugen, which previously occupied Nikan, casts a shadow. Most citizens remain oblivious to the brewing tension, but Rin understands that a Third Poppy War could ignite at any moment. As she delves deeper into her abilities, particularly those linked to the vengeful Phoenix, she grapples with the cost of her newfound power and the potential loss of her humanity.
