The Unbroken

Magic of the Lost, Book 1

De: C. L. Clark

Narrado por: Rasha Zamamiri

Nominated for the Goodreads Choice Award and a Nebula Award

Every empire demands a revolution.

Touraine is a soldier. Stolen as a child and raised to kill and die for the empire, her only loyalty is to her fellow conscripts. But now, her company has been sent back to her homeland to stop a rebellion and the ties of blood may be stronger than she thought.

Luca needs a turncoat. Someone desperate enough to tiptoe the bayonet's edge between treason and orders. Someone who can sway the rebels toward peace, while Luca focuses on what really matters: getting her uncle off her throne.

Through assassinations and massacres, in bedrooms and war rooms, Touraine and Luca will haggle over the price of a nation. But some things aren't for sale.

In a political fantasy unlike any other, debut author C. L. Clark spins an epic tale of rebellion, espionage and military might on the far outreaches of a crumbling desert empire.

Liked: All of it
Disliked: Both main characters annoyed the hell out of me but I also love them with how human they are.

it's ok

(slight spoilers)
it was okay, but I was a bit put off by the presumption of the main character. she willingly sabotages plans for peace, thinking that actual conflict will save soldiers!?
it's also about empowered women, and yet... and the men in the story are either rapist evil emperor or ...
