Sve je po�elo pro�log tjedna kad sam na Amazonu tra�ila ne�to �to �u �itati, i onda uplovila u neplanirane luke s Egomaniacom. Nakon toga odlu�ila sam da definitivno kre�em s ne�im fantasti�nim, a jedan takav naslov cijelo mi je vrijeme stajao pred nosom. Radi se o romanu Baklja u no�i, drugi dio serijala �ar u pepelu, koji nam Lumen (u Srbiji pod istim naslovom objavljuje Vuklan izdava�tvo) donosi rekordnom brzinom. Nakon ovog dijela, �ekaju nas jo� dvije knjige �ija je objava (u originalu) zakazana za 2018. i 2019. �to zna�i da ovaj serijal zaista pratimo u stopu.


Nakon bijega iz samog srca Carstva, Laia i Elias zapo�inju mrkotrpan put prema strogo �uvanom zatvoru Kaufu, u nastojanju da oslobode njezinog brata. Gladni, �edni, neza�ti�eni i iscrpljeni, kre�u se sporo i oprezno, skrivaju�i se pred brojnim neprijateljima koji ih okru�uju sa svih strana.
Pridru�uju im se stari i novi saveznici, no ni�ta im ne olak�ava misiju. Zapravo, Elias do�ivljava ne�to stra�no, ne�to �to �e mo�da rezultirati njihovom propa��u.
Zna�i li to da �e morati napustiti Laiu i prekr�iti svoje obe�anje?
Mo�e li Laia pre�ivjeti bez njegove pomo�i?

Ne tako daleko od njih, Helena dobiva stra�an zadatak od novog cara Markusa: izabrati izme�u Eliasa i vlastite obitelji. Poslana u lov na najboljeg prijatelja, okru�ena je izdajnicima i neprijateljima, a na kocki je sve, �ivoti njezinih sestara, �ivoti U�enjaka, Eliasov �ivot i naposlijetku, njezin vlastiti.
Ho�e li Helena ostati vjerna svojim principima ili slijediti zakone svoje obitelji i do groba odana Carstvu?

Je li ovo mogu�e?!
Kako bih ja sad trebala �ekati najmanje godinu dana do novog nastavka?
Nemojte me zezati.
Madam Tahir, dobro ste to napravili, svaka �ast.

Nema �anse da spustite ovu knjigu jednom kad je uzmete u ruke. Ta napetost, ta nervoza, strah i i��ekivanje bacit �e vas u o�aj od �elje da saznate �to je bilo dalje. Baklja u no�i ne daje vremena za predah. Trepnite i ne�to �ete propustiti.

�ini mi se da ovaj roman malo vi�e prebacuje fokus na Helenu. Kao �to se Elias u prvoj knjizi mu�io s moralnim dvojbama oko toga treba li postati slijepi sluga Carstva, tako je ovaj puta Helena Aquilla ta koja mora donijeti drasti�ne odluke - a nema nikoga, ba� nikoga na koga bi se mogla osloniti.
Ona je baklja u no�i, i ljudi moji, cura je vatrena!

Jo� napetiji nastavak ve� ionako napetog prvijenca Sabe Tahir je must have za sve koji u�ivaju u romanima s motivima magije, pomalo neshvatljivog i mistike.
Likovi evoluiraju nevjerojatnom lako�om, postaju zreliji, nemilosrdniji, no u isto vrijeme suosje�ajniji. Njihove jedinstvene sposobnosti sve se ja�e o�ituju, no i dalje su zagonetne. Ho�e li im pomo�i ili ih stajati glave?
 Posebno su interesantni oni �ije nakane ne mogu prokljuvati. �ak su mi se po�eli svi�ati! �itam i razmi�ljam pliiiiiz, nek' ovaj ispadne meko srda�ce ispod zlo�este maske??

Radnja te�e k'oo od �ale, a ja sa svakom stranicom postajem sigurnija da se nijedno moje o�ekivanje zasigurno ne�e ostvariti. Baklja u no�i �e me iznenaditi. 
I iznenadila me. �upala sam kosu na kraju. Pojela cijelu Dorinu od lje�njaka od nervoze.
Jesam li ve� spomenula da jaaaaaako trebam nastavak ove pri�e? 

Nabavite si ovu divoticu za blagdanske dane. Upozoravam vas, stra�no �ete puno osje�ati dok budete �itali ovu knjigu. No barem �e vas dobra klopa i zabavno dru�tvo utje�iti ??

Last week I've been looking around Amazon, searching for my next read and I wanted it to be something different. I ended up with Egomaniac, because I just couldn't resist him, but this week I didn't deviate from my original plan. It had to be fantasy, with a bit of magic and a lot of mystery.

And then I remembered A Torch Against the Night and how I still didn't read it. Unforgivable.
It's the second book in An Ember in the Ashes book series, and it will be followed by two more novels, once they get published in 2018 and 1019.



After Laia and Elias escape from the heart of the Empire, they find themselves alone, unprotected and exhausted. And their journey has just begun. On their way to Kauf, the best kept prison in the Empire, the travel slowly and carefully, hiding from many dangerous enemies that get closer with every step they make. 
Laia and Elias meet with some old and new allies, but even that doesn't seem enough to help them succeed.
And then something even worse happens. Something that could make Elias brake his promise and leave Laia. Will he?
And would Laia be able to save her brother without him?

Not so far away, Helena is forced to start a terrible mission. As his Blood Shrike, Helena is bound to obey every order Emperor Markus gives, and this one will make her choose between Elias and her family. She has to find Elias and Laia and kill them both. Everything's at stake: the lives of her family and Elias, the lives of Scolars and her own.

What will she choose? Will she follow thing she believes in or will she be, like the rest of her family, faithful to the Empire?
Until the very end.


Oh, come oooon!
Why do I need to wait until next year to read the third book?
Why isn't that book already written? Why aren't all of them? 
Seriously, miss Sabaa Tahir, who needs to eat and sleep when people are waiting? ??

There's just no way you would be able to put this book down once you start reading it. The tension, the anxiety, the fear and wild expectations will make you frikin' read it all at once! Blink, and you've missed something. There's no time to take a breath with the Torch. 

This book focuses a bit more on Helena. In the novel number one, we had Elias doubt his life and thing's he's done, and now Helena Aquilla needs to make an equally difficult decision. More than one life depends on her, and there's no one to save her, no one to help her. 
She's the Torch against the night and she burns.


A Torch Against the Night is a book worth obsessing about. It's a must have for all of you who love fantasy, magic and the unexplainable.
The characters evolve naturally, they become more mature, more merciless, but also more compassionate. Their abilities get more pronounced, but they still get to keep their mystery.
Will those skills be of any use in some of the critical moments later on?
There are also a few people whose intentions I couldn't really read. What are their actual goals? I got to love those the most. I even started to root for them to change their game plan and try to do the good thing.

I also like the plot, the way it flows and makes me understand nothing I expect would come to be. The Torch was meant to surprise me.
And it did. The end made me eat the entire chocolate bar to make myself feel better. The struggle was real. 

You need to read this book during the next few weeks. Now's the time. There will be plenty to eat and a few (obviously wonderful) presents to comfort you while you wait not so patiently for the book number three.

Let me know how do you liked it,

 Sigurna sam da su oni koji su ve� pro�itali ovaj roman do�ivjeli pravo iznena�enje kad su napokon zavirili me�u njegove stranice. Gledajte samo ovog momka; kapljice vode cijede se niz bregovite udove, on suptilno promatra ispod obrva, kosica se lagano kovr�a...Je l' gol tamo dolje? Je l' to mene gleda?
�to mu se mota po glavi, da mi je samo znati... Bit �e da je ova knjiga vru�aaaaa ??
A onda je nastavite �itati, a kad tamo...
Jo� je sto puta bolja nego �to ste o�ekivali!
Iz Mozaik knjige sti�e prvi roman iz serijala Znak ljubavi (nastavak se sprema za jesen), Archerov glas.
 

Bree seli u mali gradi� u kojemu se nada prona�i mir. Svi koje tamo susre�e krasni su ljudi koji toplo do�ekuju novu stanovnicu njihovog mjesta. Svi osim momka koji ne kriva svoju ravnodu�nost prema njoj i svima koji mu se na�u na putu.
Svakakve se pri�e pri�aju o Archeru. Malo milosrdniji glasovi ka�u da je �udan, oni zlobniji tvrde da mu nisu sve na broju.
No Bree je previ�e znati�eljna da bi prihvatila tu�e pri�e. Ima ne�to u Archeru �to ju navodi da mu pristupi i ne povu�e se pred njegovim odbijanjem.
I tako Bree stupa u �ivot �utljivog Archera �ije tajne su premra�ne da bi smjele biti otkrivene, a previ�e va�ne da bi nastavile kontrolirati �ivot mladog �ovjeka.
Zajedno �e se osloboditi okova koji su im nametnuti silom i poku�ati stvoriti �ivot slobodni od tu�ih o�ekivanja.

 
 Jeste li osoba koja voli pri�ati? Je li danas jedan od onih dana kada ste se zatekli kako pri�ate o stvarima koje u krajnjoj liniji uop�e nisu bile vrijedne pa�nje koju ste im predavali? Usputni komentari koji su prerasli u naporno razglabanje, rje�kanje koje se pretvorilo u sva�u jer ste jednostavno morali izre�i �to vam je le�alo na du�i...Svi mi to radimo i bilo bi nepo�teno praviti se da smo iznad toga.
Ali ponekad zaboravljamo da je na� glas puno vi�e od automatskog sredstva sporazumijevanja. Na� glas nije samo zvuk koji nam izlazi iz usta.
Na� glas smo mi.
Ne samo ono �to ka�emo, ve� kako to ka�emo. Kome govorimo, o �emu pri�amo. Na� glas je na� na�in odijevanja i hrana koju jedemo. On je slika koju svijetu projektiramo o sebi.

Ancherov glas, glas je mladi�a koji je cijeli �ivot bio u�utkivan, skrivan i potla�ivan. Njegov glas metafora je ne samo za sposobnost govora, ve� za cijeli njegov �ivot. Za razliku od nas koji ponekad previ�e pri�amo, a zapravo minimalno ka�emo, za njega je o svemu govorila upravo njegova ti�ina.
Ovaj topao, osje�ajima nabijeni roman donosi sna�nu poruku o pronalasku vlastitog glasa - o pronalasku sebe - onoga �to u �ivotu �elimo postati, onoga �to jesmo.

�to na� glas govori on nama? Jesmo li ga danas iskoristili za ne�to dobro? Jesmo li svoje sposobnosti i vje�tine iskoristili kako bismo stvorili najbolju verziju sebe, jesmo li ih koristili u svrhu samoostvarenja? Jesmo li se potrudili da do�emo na 'dobar glas'? Ili smo potisnuli na�e �elje, potrebe i strasti? Iz straha ili lijenosti. Jesmo li se u�utkali prije nego �to smo uop�e stigli ispustiti kakav zvuk, samo naznaku pravog glasa?
Izraziti se mo�emo na milijun na�ina. Kao i Archerov, i na� cilj jednom mora postati otvoriti srce i ispustiti glas, izraziti se kako znamo i umijemo. Pokazati tko smo i koliko talenta i potencijala u nama cijelo vrijeme spava. U ti�ini.

  Jako volim kad knjige imaju dublje zna�enje koje se skriva ispod o�igledne pri�e, a mislim da je ova upravo takva. Ovaj roman nekako me posebno dirnuo jer sam se na neki na�in uspjela poistovjetiti s Archerom i njegovom mukom da se prona�e u svijetu. Ja koristim ovaj blog kako bih pustila svoj glas u svijet.
�to vi �inite kako bismo �uli va�?

I'm sure that those of you who have already read this novel lived a helluva surprise after the first few pages into the novel. I mean, look at this guy; hiding his face, showing of just how much he works out every day, his pants so low, but still not low enough on those sexy hips�
Why doesn't he want to look at me? You expect him to be hiding something. He's a bad, bad boy.
Tell me his secret right noooow ??
And then you resumed your reading and ooh...better even then in your wildest dreams!

This right here is a review of Archer's Voice. Welcome.
 
 
 

Bree moves to the small city Pelion, Maine to try to find her peace. The people she meets are a warm and friendly bunch that make her feel welcome every step of the way. Everyone, except him.
They has been every kind of talk about Archer. Some say he's just odd, others he's genuinely crazy.
But Bree is too curious to believe the people's talk. There's something about Archer that makes her want to keep talking to him, even when he insists on turning her down.
So Bree decides to make herself a part of his life and this is how she gets involved in old secrets and a painful existence of Archer's silence.
Together, the two of them will face their fears and try to start a life free of everybody's corrupt influence.

Are you a talkative person? Is today one of those days when you've caught yourselves talking about stuff that don't actually need so much attention from your side? Maybe it was a comment you shared about something that started an unnecessary discussion, or a talk that transformed into a real fight because you just had to give somebody your piece of mind. We all do that, and it would be unfair to pretend some of us are above it.
But sometimes we forget that our voice is so much more that an automatic way for us to respond or react.
 
Our voice is us.
 
Not only what we say, but also how we say it. Who are we talking to and what about. Our voice is how we dress and what we eat. It�s the picture of us we let the world to see.
 
 

Archer's voice is a voice of a young man that has spent his life being silenced and emotionally suppressed. His voice is a metaphor not only for the human ability to talk, but also for his entire life. Sometimes we talk but are not saying much, Archer, on the other hand, expressed little, but his silence spoke volumes.
This warm and emotionally charged novel brings a strong message about the search for one's voice � search for finding what we are � what we are meant to be.
What does our voice says about us? Did we used it today to do some good? Did we use our abilities and skills to show the best version of ourselves? Or did we suppress our needs, our desires? Did we kill our voice before it even got the chance to be heard?
 
 There are million ways for us to express who we are. Just like Archer, we too should strive to open our hearts and let our voice out. Show what we can do, prove out talent and all that potential that has been sleeping inside of us all this time. In silence.
 
I love books that hide some sort of deeper meaning beneath the obvious story. This novel touched me deep because, in some way, I was once hiding my wishes, making myself stay away from the things I wanted to do. Now I have this blog, a place where I share my voice with the world.
What do you do to share yours?
