Sinossi
Audace e indipendente, Phèdre nó Delaunay ha lottato a lungo per raggiungere la libertà. Abbandonata dalla madre a quattro anni e deputata quindi a servire in una delle Case, Phèdre ha infatti capovolto il suo destino, diventando non soltanto una delle cortigiane più ammirate di Terre D'Ange, ma anche un'abilissima spia. E, grazie alle sue capacità, è riuscita a salvare il proprio Paese dalla rovina e a sconfiggere una nemica formidabile, l'affascinante nobildonna Mélisande Shahrizai, che, dopo essersi sottratta alla condanna a morte, ha trovato rifugio nella repubblica della Serenissima. Quando però Mélisande fa consegnare a Phèdre un mantello sangoire, la giovane non ha dubbi sul significato di quel gesto: nel cuore di Terre d'Ange vive un traditore, qualcuno così vicino al trono da poterlo toccare, e lei è l'unica in grado di fermarlo, sempre che accetti la sfida lanciata dalla nobildonna, abbandonando l'uomo che ama e calandosi di nuovo in un mondo in cui gli inganni e i tradimenti sono moneta corrente? Vivacissimo quadro di un universo animato da pirati e cortigiani, cavalieri e poeti e percorso da una raffinata vena sensuale, La prescelta e l'erede è un romanzo avvincente, che ha il respiro delle grandi epopee ed è illuminato da un'eroina conturbante e indimenticabile.

Recensioni
I was waffling between 3 & 4 stars on this one, but since the second book in this series was a marked improvement for me on the first book, 4 stars it is. our intrepid heroine Phèdre - courtesan supreme with a very special talent for transmuting pain into pleasure - makes her debut redux as a titled Leggi tutto
With the expectations Kushiel's Dart gave me, I might have been worried that Kushiel's Chosen wouldn't match up. I wasn't, but I wouldn't have needed to be anyway. I loved this book just as much as the first one. Everything I've said about how it's not for everyone still stands (see my first review ) Leggi tutto
*** 4.35 ***A Buddy Read with the FBR group! This second book in the Phedre Trilogy was, in my opinion, better than the first. The pacing was much better and it kept you on your toes throughout. It had some lull moments, but they were well spaced and gave the main heroine time for some angst and goi Leggi tutto
4.5 Stars This was such a wonderfully immersive fantasy novel. I liked the first novel, but I really fell in love with the characters and the story in this second book. The worldbuilding is incredibly rich and the character work is equally as deep. I really appreciated the nuanced conversation surrou Leggi tutto
Screw magic. Give me some political fantasy any day, and I'm a happy reader. I liked Kushiel's Dart . I'm not sure if there's a definite quality improvement or if I'm going too easy on this one, but I loved Kushiel's Chosen . The Kushiel's Legacy series takes place in a sort of Fantasy Counterpart Cultu Leggi tutto
I didn't love this quite as much as book 1, but it's still a fantastic political fantasy novel with a satisfying story arc. Phaedre continues to be a wonderfully interesting and complex heroine. I didn't like Joscelin as much in this book. I feel like he knew what he was getting into falling for her Leggi tutto
There is a wild and piercing sweetness in celebrating life after a long sorrow; all of us felt it that night. Spring is ever a time of renewal, and it seemed fit, after so long, to rediscover pure, unalloyed happiness. I love this book as much in 2021 as I did in 2015. Perfection. ----------------
