The Circle Reforged #book 1 part 2
Kejserindens vrede
"Indser I snart at I anstrenger jer forgæves?" råbte Ishabal.
"Større troldmænd end jer har kastet sig mod vores grænsespærringer uden at kunne sprænge dem.
Hvorfor ikke komme til fornuft?
I får ikke lov til at forlade Namorn."
Omsider går det op for Sandrilene at både hendes personlige frihed og fremtid er i fare – at kejserinde Berenene er fast besluttet på at tvinge hende, Daja, Torn og Trisana til at blive i Namorn.
Den eneste mulighed for at undslippe er at de fire fostersøskende finder sammen igen og forener deres kræfter mod Ishabal Ladimi, kejserindens magtfulde troldkvinde...

100 books85.2k followersHey, folks! I just discovered that apparently I have given some very popular books single-star ratings--except I haven't. How do I know I haven't? Because I haven't read those books at all. So before you go getting all hacked off at me for trashing your favorites, know that I've written GoodReads to find out what's going on.
I return to my regularly scheduled profile:
Though I would love to join groups, I'm going to turn them all down. I just don't have the time to take part, so please don't be offended if I don't join your group or accept an invitation. I'm not snooty--I'm just up to my eyeballs in work and appearances!
Also, don't be alarmed by the number of books I've read. When I get bored, I go through the different lists and rediscover books I've read in the past. It's a very evil way to use up time when I should be doing other things. Obviously, I've read a lot of books in 54 years!
I was born in South Connellsville, PA. My mother wanted to name me "Tamara" but the nurse who filled out my birth certificate misspelled it as "Tamora". When I was 8 my family moved to California, where we lived for 6 years on both sides of the San Francisco peninsula.
I started writing stories in 6th grade. My interest in fantasy and science fiction began when I was introduced to ‘The Lord of the Rings’ by J. R. R. Tolkien and so I started to write the kind of books that I was reading. After my parents divorced, my mother took my sisters and me back to Pennsylvania in 1969. There I went to Albert Gallatin Senior High for 2 years and Uniontown Area Senior High School for my senior year.
After graduating from the University of Pennsylvania, I wrote the book that became The Song of the Lioness fantasy quartet. I sold some articles and 2 short stories and wrote reviews for a martial arts movie magazine. At last the first book of the quartet, Alanna: The First Adventure was published by Atheneum Books in 1983.
Tim Liebe, who became my Spouse-Creature, and I lived in New York City with assorted cats and two parakeets from 1982 - 2006. In 2006 we moved to Syracuse, New York, where we live now with assorted cats, a number of squirrels, birds, raccoons, skunks, opossums, and woodchucks visiting our very small yard. As of 2011, I have 27 novels in print, one short story collection, one comic book arc ("White Tiger: A Hero's Compulsion") co-written with Tim, and a short story anthology co-editing credit. There's more to come, including a companion book to the Tortall `verse. So stay tuned!

Part two of The Will of the Empress. English review below.
Cirklen gendannes II
I Kejserindens vrede møder vi Sandrilene, Trisana, Daja og Torn lige hvor vi forlod dem da Kejserindens vilje sluttede. Sandrilene er med sine venners hjælp lige stukket af fra de personer der forsøgte at kidnappe hende, og tror sig nu mere sikker, da hun ikke forventer at der er flere, der er dumme nok til at have lyst til at prøve kræfter med de fires evner efter at have set hvilke konsekvenser det kan have.
Sandrilene undervurderer dog Kejserinde Berenenes begær efter at beholde så kraftfulde troldmænd under sit styre, og hendes undersåtters loyalitet og nærmest grænseløse ambitioner om at stige i kejserindens agtelse. En overivrig bejler prøver endnu engang at kidnappe Sandrilene og holde hende fangen indtil hun underskriver en ægteskabspagt... denne gang med mere drastiske midler, og derfor også mere voldsomme efterdønninger.
På grund af den direkte overgang mellem de to bøger i "Cirklen gendannes" er det nødvendigt at have læst Kejserindens vilje inden man læser Kejserindens vrede, da man ellers vil mangle en del afgørende baggrundshistorie for begivenhederne i Kejserindens vrede.
"Cirklen gendannes" er den tredje serie om troldmændene Torn, Trisana, Daja og Sandrilene – de to første serier hedder "Magiens cirkel" og "Cirklen åbnes". I "Cirklen gendannes" viser Tamora Pierce endnu engang hvorfor hun er en af de førende fantasy forfattere af vor tid. Hun forstår som få andre at skabe et univers og gøre det dels konsekvent igennem alle bøgerne, og dels så tillokkende at enhver læser får lyst til at flytte dertil. Hvor de to tidligere serier om magiens cirkel retter sig mere mod et yngre publikum, er Torn, Trisana, Daja og Sandrilene nu blevet en del ældre og mere erfarne efter deres rejser omkring i riget, og de problemer de støder på i Kejserindens vrede er derfor af en mere voksen art, og emner som intriger, forelskelse, ægteskab og seksualitet bliver taget op.
Jeg er stadig en afgjort Alanna-fan, og "Løvindens sang" er min yndlingsserie blandt Tamora Pierces værker, men i og med at ”Cirklen gendannes” retter sig mod et ældre publikum, har jeg lettere ved at forholde mig til personerne og begivenhederne her, og den står derfor som en klar nummer to.
The Wrath of the Empress is the second part of the Danish translation of The Will of the Empress. Here we meet Sandrilene, Trisana, Daja and Briar immediately after the four of them joined forces and helped Sandry escape her would-be kidnappers. She now thinks herself more secure, as she doesn't expect anybody else will be stupid enough to test the abilities of her and her friends, now that they've seen what consequences it might have.
However, Sandry underestimates Empress Berenene's desire to keep four so powerful magicians in her realm, as well as her subjects loyality and almost limitless ambitions to rise in her esteem. An over-eager suitor tries once again to kidnap Sandry and keep her captive until she signs the marriage vows... this time using more drastic methods and therefore causing a more dire effect.
The Will of the Empress is the third series about the magicians Sandry, Briar, Tris and Daja - the two first being "Circle of Magic" and "The Circle Opens". In The Will of the Empress Tamora Pierce once again shows why she has become one of the leading fantasy authors of our time. Like few others she understands how to create a universe and make it both consistent through all her books, as well as so seductive that any reader feels like moving there. The two previous series are aimed at a younger audience, but Tris, Briar, Sandry and Daja are now both older and more experienced after their travels abroad, and the problems they face in The Will of the Empress are therefore of a more mature sort, with issues such as intrigues, love, marriage and sexuality being discussed.
I am still an Alanna-fan at heart, and "The Song of the Lioness" is my favourite series among the works of Tamora Pierce, but because The Will of the Empress is aimed at an older audience than most of her other books, I find it easier to relate to the characters and the situations they find themselves in, and it is therefore a definite number two.

De fire venner fra Cirklen har fundet det gamle venskab, og når de står sammen, skal man ikke vove at trodse dem.
