Повелитель иллюзий

Сквозняки #2

by Татьяна Леванова

Маша Некрасова оказалась здесь не случайно. Значит, тут нужна ее помощь. Ведь Маша - Сквозняк, то есть "сквозь ткань миров проходящий странник". Она немного владеет магией и способна ориентироваться в пространстве. Она путешествует по мирам, где возникли серьезные проблемы, и помогает с ними справиться. Такова миссия Сквозняка. Но Маше никто не верит, что она пришла из другого мира, ее все принимают за опасную "задумчивую", подключившуюся к Лабиринту Иллюзий. Уже тысячи подростков, испробовавших на себе действие Лабиринта, этого страшного изобретения, томятся в "Приюте мечтателей", а некоторых отправляют на дикие острова, на верную смерть. Попала туда и Маша. Чтобы выжить в этом неведомом мире, а потом вернуться домой, Маше придется найти того, в кого никто не верит - Повелителя Иллюзий…

5/5🍄✨
i know this review is gonna be in english. and i know it is pointless cause this book was never translated but this is for my sake so here we go:
this book is the embodiment of my European childhood. it played such an important part in my life that i distinctly remember how i bought it and each time and place i reread it. it was in a way my younger self’s harry potter not that i am saying it is comparable because it isn’t, nothing will ever come close to Hogwarts, but it was one of the main series that raised me to be a reader. there are some minor things at the beginning of the book that bother me now but i don’t believe they are inherently very problematic.
this novel had one of the most innovative and interesting setting and side characters i had read till then and still does which honestly says a lot. i just have no way to explain or compare it to anything. it genuinely is the one most original middle grade novel i’ve had the pleasure of reading.
i’m translating bits of it so my sister can read it but i genuinely wish there this was spread out to a wider variety of languages because i think it would have done very well. so if the author needs me to translate this i will def do it so hmu🤪

It was interesting to read. I barely remembered the plot after my first read many years ago and now I understand why. Once again, the story is very dynamic, but it felt less engaging than the first book.
The “blue hat” is still an overpowered plot device, and it’s used a bit too often, especially toward the end of the book. The romantic subplot also feels somewhat awkward and unnecessary.
In the first book, there was a clear moral about judging people based on their appearance, as well as Masha’s personal growth and how she reflected on her behavior and attitude toward her parents. In the second book, main themes are still present, though less obvious. The idea of the “Labyrinth of Illusions,” where everyone is special, no one is special, is quite meaningful.
Still, despite all that, the overall feeling after finishing the book is rather flat.

slow-paced and no plot line at all, it wasn't really interesting as I thought it would be considering the first one was better
