Acerca de esta escucha
From the number-one New York Times best-selling author of The Wrath and the Dawn comes a sweeping, action-packed YA adventure set against the backdrop of Feudal Japan, where Mulan meets Tamora Pierce.
The daughter of a prominent samurai, Mariko has long known her place - she may be an accomplished alchemist whose cunning rivals that of her brother, Kenshin, but because she is not a boy, her future has always been out of her hands. At just 17 years old, Mariko is promised to Minamoto Raiden, the son of the emperor's favorite consort - a political marriage that will elevate her family's standing. But en route to the imperial city of Inako, Mariko narrowly escapes a bloody ambush by a dangerous gang of bandits known as the Black Clan, whom she learns has been hired to kill her before she reaches the palace.
Dressed as a peasant boy, Mariko sets out to infiltrate the ranks of the Black Clan, determined to track down the person responsible for the target on her back. But she's quickly captured and taken to the Black Clan's secret hideout, where she meets their leader, the rebel ronin Takeda Ranmaru, and his second-in-command, his best friend, Okami. Still believing her to be a boy, Ranmaru and Okami eventually warm to Mariko, impressed by her intellect and ingenuity. As Mariko gets closer to the Black Clan, she uncovers a dark history of secrets, of betrayal and murder, that will force her to question everything she's ever known.

Everything about my life is a lie. As a hidden twin princess, born second, I have only one purpose―to sacrifice my life for my sister if death comes for her. I’ve been living under the guise of a poor, obscure girl of no standing, slipping into the palace and into the role of the true princess when danger is present. Now the queen is dead and the ageless King Eidolon has sent my sister a gift―an eerily familiar gift―and a proposal to wed. I don’t trust him, so I do what I was born to do and secretly take her place on the eve of the coronation.

Historia
Nell Gallows is the sole survivor of an elite dark forces squad, Riøt, after a detrimental attack two years ago. Unsurprisingly, she's being put up as the top candidate for the special ops team Malum, the squad that goes where no one else will or can. There's only one problem: Malum blames their one casualty from the Patagonia mission on the Riøt squad.

Historia
Cambridge professor Emily Wilde is good at many things: She is the foremost expert on the study of faeries. She is a genius scholar and a meticulous researcher who is writing the world’s first encyclopaedia of faerie lore. But Emily Wilde is not good at people. She could never make small talk at a party—or even get invited to one. And she prefers the company of her books, her dog, Shadow, and the Fair Folk to other people. So when she arrives in the hardscrabble village of Hrafnsvik, Emily has no intention of befriending the gruff townsfolk.

I must say that I do love retelings, but until I knew about this book I never had seen Mulan, so I went to see it and I loved, of course!
This book delivered and I'm really excited to know what happens next.
In the beginning it was kinda difficult to read the names of people and things, so I bought the audiobook and began to read and listen at the same time. Much better! (Eventually I dumped the book, because I was practicing brush lettering 😂).
Anyway, I totally recommend this book. One of the best reads of this year! I'm on a good streak, thank God! 😃
Really great!!!!

What made the experience of listening to Flame in the Mist the most enjoyable?
It is a wonderful and fresh rendition of a beloved classic, made more remarkable by the author’s stunning prose and imaginative story telling.What about Nancy Wu’s performance did you like?
The performance was a part of the story. At no point was I aware of Nancy Wu, just the prose, and the plot, and setting.If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
Strike when they least expect it.Any additional comments?
“Mariko was the daughter of a samurai. The sister of the Dragon of Kai. But more than that, she still held power over her decisions. For at least this one last day. She would face her enemy. And die with honor.”Flame begins with Mariko, a girl in feudal Japan, on a journey to meet her betrothed, the emperor’s bastard son. Her father arranged her marriage to gain some political power, and maddeningly, Mariko can do nothing but go along with this play. On the way, her norimono is attacked (by bandits, magical monsters, who knows?) and everyone dies except her. Mariko suspects the Black Clan, and sets out on a dangerous journey to find the truth. Also, this is Mariko’s opportunity to do something on her own, and escape from the oppressive and inflexible life she’s made to lead simply because she’s a girl.
“Family can entitle you to many things. It can also feel entitled to much from you in return.”
If you’re a girl-power enthusiast, and if you like being fully entrenched in a world of the past, then Flame in the Mist is definitely for you. Renée Ahdieh’s skill at world-building is uniquely beautiful, and even more enchanting since she brings to life worlds and cultures that don’t get showcased enough in this genre. With "The Wrath and the Dawn," readers fall in love with the rich, vibrant and romantic Persian and Middle Eastern culture. And, with "Flame in the Mist," Ahdieh elicits all the senses with her writing, and creates an enchanting world filled with intrigue, danger, romance, and magic.
“Control is an illusion.”
As mentioned, and as should be known if you’ve read this author before, the prose is superb. The plot is engaging, though it might take some a while to become entrenched. Ahdieh doesn’t skimp when representing this culture (mostly through Mariko’s eyes), and she richly incorporates language, food, dress, and technology to build her world of characters.
It took me about 20% to settle into this novel. I had to get used to the rhythm and language before I could feel like I was a part of Mariko’s world–a feeling that was shaky and unsure at first, and sometimes uncomfortable because of what I didn’t understand. Once I was settled, I was engaged and curious.
“Without risk, life is far too predictable.”
Flame in the Mist is told from multiple perspectives. Mariko gets the bulk of the narrative, and the intrigue is built around her, her twin brother, Kenshin, plus a few more (brief) points of view, which I won’t expand on since that’ll ruin the fun. Each perspective is compelling and elevates this novel from a simple Mulan fanfic featuring a girl in a man’s world training to be a warrior (though those scenes in the Black Clan’s lair are fun) to one featuring political intrigue, murder, betrayal, class struggles, and other thought-provoking themes.
“Strike when they least expect it.”
This novel impressed me, especially considering I was hesitant to pick it up since "The Rose and the Dagger disappointed me." I might even like this one more than "The Wrath and the Dawn." Because, while "Wrath" is a love story of the epic kind; "Flame" is more. It’s layered, it’s relevant, it’s intense. I love the mood, it’s sinister thread and the dark turn it takes at the end. I can’t wait for the next book!
“I believe the stars align so souls can find one another. Whether they are meant to be souls in love or souls in life remains to be seen.”
Of course, my favorite aspect of Flame is the love story that unfolds, because I will always be here for the romance, but it’s not a large portion of the story, since Mariko holds her secret for the majority of the book. This might disappoint readers who fell for the sweeping romance of "Wrath," but I don’t mind it, and I’m embracing all the secondary characters and the mysteries they hold.
I dreamed about this book, and if I dream about a book, then it’s left its mark. There’s something about Mariko that draws me, and definitely something about Black Clan leaders Ōkami and Ranmaru. Their secrets, in particular, are fascinating and I am dying to know more about them and their pasts.
“To me, you are magic.”
I think this series is billed as a duet, and that makes me nervous, especially after my reaction to The Rose and the Dagger. I need all the characters to get their dues, their stories to develop as they deserve, and I’m not sure that can happen in one book, unless it’s much longer than this one. Regardless, I’m going to judge Flame on its own merits and appreciate it for the gem it is, but keep my fingers crossed that this tale will keep getting better.
This book is as beautiful on the inside as it is on the outside.
I was enthralled.
