GIVEN TO THE SEA - MINDY MCGINNIS // RECENZIA

Fantasy novinka Given to the Sea bola v zahraničí veľmi očakávanou, no po jej vydaní sa názory na ňu začali značne rozchádzať. Momentálne má na Goodreads hodnotenie iba 3,48*. Mňa však veľmi pozitívne prekvapila. Kniha má až štyri uhly pohľadu, čo je pomerne veľké číslo, no v tomto prípade mi to vôbec nevadilo.

Everyone has a place.

Khosa was born to be fed to the sea, to prevent the kind of wave that once destroyed the Kingdom of Stille. She can’t be sacrificed until she produces an heir, but human touch repulses her…except for the touch of the Indiri.

Dara and Donil are the last of the Indiri, a native race with magic that’s seductive—a force of nature—but dwindling since the Pietra slaughtered their people.

Witt leads the Pietra, the fierce warriors who are now marching on the Kingdom of Stille. The stone shores of Witt’s kingdom harbor a secret threat, and to ensure the survival of his people, he’s prepared to conquer every speck of Stille’s soil.

Vincent stands to inherit the throne of Stille, but has no wife to share it with. When the beautiful and mysterious Khosa arrives without an heir, Vincent knows that his father will stop at nothing to make sure she fulfills her duty. Torn between protecting his kingdom and protecting the girl whose fate is tied to its very existence, Vincent’s loyalty is soon at odds with his heart.

While royals scheme, Pietrans march, and the Indiri struggle to survive, the rising sea calls for its Given, and Khosa is destined to answer.
