Ciao a tutti. Tra i miei obiettivi di quest'anno c'è anche quello di leggere di più in inglese. Pertanto, oggi vi lascio la recensione di un libro che, almeno per ora, è uscito solo in lingua (ma credo che, dato che la traduzione di Six of Crows è prossima, vedremo presto anche questo in Italia): si tratta di King of Scars di Leigh Bardugo, primo libro di una duologia dedicata a Nikolai.

TRAMA [ENG]: Face your demons . . . or feed them. Nikolai Lantsov has always had a gift for the impossible. No one knows what he endured in his country's bloody civil war - and he intends to keep it that way. Now, as enemies gather at his weakened borders, the young king must find a way to refill Ravka's coffers, forge new alliances, and stop a rising threat to the once-great Grisha Army. Yet with every day a dark magic within him grows stronger, threatening to destroy all he has built. With the help of a young monk and a legendary Grisha Squaller, Nikolai will journey to the places in Ravka where the deepest magic survives to vanquish the terrible legacy inside him. He will risk everything to save his country and himself. But some secrets aren't meant to stay buried--and some wounds aren't meant to heal.
