Spintecătorul Sorții (Cartea Zeilor,#2)
by Miruna Drăghici
Average rating on Goodreads: 4.80

Cel de-al doilea volum al trilogiei ,,SPINTECĂTORUL SORȚII”, intitulat ,,Cartea Zeilor”, este un roman ce se adresează tuturor vârstelor: cei foarte tineri vor descoperi un volum heroic fantasy, inspirat din bogatul fond mitologic oriental iar cei ajunși la vârsta maturității culturale se vor delecta cu un roman inițiatic, axat pe o profundă dramă mistică, având ca miez narativ singura luptă care contează - cea pentru sufletul omenesc. Eroii călătoresc în ținuturi fabuloase, descoperind taine îngropate în trecutul cel mai îndepărtat al omenirii, continuându-și bătălia cu forțele dezlănțuite ale destinului. Lupta pentru putere și prețul acesteia, marile dileme morale și sfâșierile trecutului ajung la punctul culminant, în înfruntări de proporții epice, care depășesc granițele timpului și spațiului.Într-o lume sufocată de industrializare și tehnologizare, mitul și basmul, ca purtătoare de arhetipuri, vorbesc, încă, foarte puternic, conștiinței noastre. Extrăgând aceste arhetipuri din subconștientul colectiv, individualizându-le prin intermediul artei literare și a celei vizuale, trilogia ,,SPINTECĂTORUL SORȚII” este o contribuție la efortul de ,,revrăjire” a lumii, genul fantastic fiind cel mai potrivit în acest sens.

Me & Emma
by Elizabeth Flock
Genres: Fiction, Contemporary, Chick Lit, Abuse, Family, Drama, Adult Fiction
Average rating on Goodreads: 3.91

The title characters in Me & Emma are very nearly photographic opposites--8-year-old Carrie, the raven-haired narrator, is timid and introverted, while her little sister Emma is a tow-headed powerhouse with no sense of fear. The girls live in a terrible situation: they depend on an unstable mother that has never recovered from her husband's murder, their stepfather beats them regularly, and they must forage on their own for food.  Stop here and you have a story told many times before, as fiction and nonfiction in tales like Ellen Foster, or I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings --stories in which a young girl reveals the horrors of her childhood. Me & Emma differentiates itself with a spectacular finish, shocking the reader and turning the entire story on its head. Through several twists and turns the reader learns that things are not quite the way our narrator led us to believe and everything crescendos in a way that (like all good thrillers) immediately makes you want to go back and read the whole book again from the start.
