詞靈

by 陳郁如

從詩境遇劫歸來的宗元和儀萱，好不容易恢復平靜的生活。
某天國文課，儀萱卻在背出〈虞美人〉後突然失去意識。

原來和唐詩一樣，流傳千年的宋詞也遭到黑暗力量的破壞。不同的是，宋詞的守護者──詞靈，因為禁不起正邪兩股力量長期爭鬥，最後元神一分為二，其中，善良純正的正氣靈便依附在儀萱身上。

根據詞靈賦予的記憶，儀萱知道自己必須設法找出陰氣靈設下的五樣靈物，才能徹底凝封住黑暗力量、恢復詞境運行。然而在成千上萬首的詞句中，她該如何找出靈物的線索？還有，如果儀萱擁有詞靈一半的能力與記憶，那麼屬於抑鬱邪惡另一半的陰氣靈，又會是誰？

I love the idea behind this books series. Chen Yu-ju is cleverly enticing young adults to discover the gems of Chinese culture through accessible literature. It was fun, fast paced, and I learned something new in a friendly way. That being said, she leans heavily into storytelling stereotypes and overused plot structures. Knowing this is geared towards younger readers does lessen some of my critique. I am curious to see if she changes things up in the later books or continues to reuse the same formulas.
