Set in the world of the New York Times-bestselling Winner's Trilogy, Marie Rutkoski's The Midnight Lie is an epic LGBTQ romantic fantasy about learning to free ourselves from the lies others tell us--and the lies we tell ourselves.

Where Nirrim lives, crime abounds, a harsh tribunal rules, and society's pleasures are reserved for the High Kith. Life in the Ward is grim and punishing. People of her low status are forbidden from sampling sweets or wearing colors. You either follow the rules, or pay a tithe and suffer the consequences.

Nirrim keeps her head down, and a dangerous secret close to her chest.

But then she encounters Sid, a rakish traveler from far away, who whispers rumors that the High Kith possess magic. Sid tempts Nirrim to seek that magic for herself. But to do that, Nirrim must surrender her old life. She must place her trust in this sly stranger who asks, above all, not to be trusted.

4 (Muito bom)

Muito bom!

Fiquei encantada com Nirrim e Sid. Geralmente não gosto que o romance seja o foco nas minhas histórias de fantasia, mas os livros de Marie Rutkoski conseguem ser uma exceção.
Eu, pessoalmente, ainda prefiro a trilogia do vencedor ( ainda penso em Kestrel e Arin, anos depois de ter finalizado a história), mas a autora não decepciona nessa nova história.
O difícil agora vai ser esperar 1 ano pela continuação.
