Karolina Cebula said: " "Slumbering Ember" is the first volume in "The Vargr" by Meraki P. Lyhne, a series about Danish werewolves that undeniably has much more to offer than most novels on similar themes. Let's start with the fact that in "Slumbering Ember" there is whole "Slumbering Ember" is the first volume in "The Vargr" by Meraki P. Lyhne, a series about Danish werewolves that undeniably has much more to offer than most novels on similar themes. Let's start with the fact that in "Slumbering Ember" there is whole werewolf community that differs from what we find most often in the literature. It is based to some extent on legends, wolf habits, and other things that make it more real, believable. Yes, I remember that it is a story about werewolves. And that's why we definitely should pay closer attention to the topics like the hierarchy or the way the Vargr live.

In "Slumbering Ember" I also loved the way loyalty to family, loved ones, friends and finally the pack was presented. I find it very interesting how natural the birth of loyalty was in these cases, while in others it was totally impossible. This makes "Slumbering Ember" a novel worth reading carefully and analyzing, as it is a really well-thought-out story.

Ah yes! The story. I must admit that I like it very much, especially because it's really interesting and it presents in detail not only the fate of our main character and his relatives, but also the werewolves community - the Vargr community. All that makes it impossible for us to put this novel down. It's addictive.

To sum up, "Slumbering Ember" is a great start to the series that is perfect for both young adults and older readers. The captivating story, the fascinating Vargr community and interesting characters are just the tip of the iceberg this series seems to be. I really recommend it to you.

__________________________

„Slumbering Ember” jest pierwszym tomem „The Vargr” autorstwa Meraki P. Lyhne, serii o duńskich wilkołakach, która niezaprzeczalnie ma nam do zaoferowania o wiele więcej, niż większość powieści o podobnej tematyce. Zacznijmy od tego, że w „Slumbering Ember” mamy do czynienia ze społecznością wilkołaków, która różni się od tego, co najczęściej spotykamy w literaturze. Oparta jest bowiem do pewnego stopnia na legendach, wilczych nawykach, tym co bardziej realne, prawdopodobne (tak, pamiętam, że chodzi o wilkołaki). Zwrócić należy uwagę chociażby na hierarchię, czy sposób bycia.

W „Slumbering Ember” bardzo spodobało mi się również to, w jaki sposób przedstawiona została lojalność wobec rodziny, bliskich osób, przyjaciół i w końcu watahy. Za bardzo interesujące uważam to jak naturalne są narodziny lojalności we wspomnianych przypadkach, podczas gdy w innych jest w sumie niemożliwe. To sprawia, że „Slumbering Ember” jest powieścią, którą warto czytać z uwagą, analizować. Jest to bowiem naprawdę dobrze przemyślana historia.

Ach, tak. Historia. Muszę przyznać, że bardzo mi się podoba, szczególnie dlatego, że szczegółowo i bardzo interesująco przedstawia nie tylko losy naszego bohatera i bliskich mu osób, ale także społeczność wilkołaków – Vargrów. To sprawia, że od tej powieści nie sposób się oderwać. Jest uzależniająca.

Podsumowując, „Slumbering Ember” to wspaniały początek serii zarówno dla czytelników z grupy young adults, jak również dla tych starszych. Wciągająca historia, fascynująca społeczność Vargrów i interesujące postacie to zaledwie wierzchołek góry lodowej, jaką wydaje się być ta seria. Naprawdę Wam ją polecam. ...more "

Karolina’s Quotes

“You have something on your neck," he observed.
Alec's hand flew to his throat. "What?"
"Looks like a bite mark," said Jace. "What have you been doing all day, anyway?"
"Nothing." Beet red, his hand still clamped to his neck, Alec started down the corridor. Jace followed him. "I went walking in the park. Tried to clear my head."
"And ran into a vampire?"
"What? No! I fell."
"On your neck?”
― Cassandra Clare, City of Ashes

“This Bitter Language

I know your streets, sweet city,

I know the demons and angels that flock

and roost in your boughs like birds.

I know you, river, as if you flowed

through my heart.

I am your warrior daughter.

There are letters made of your body

as a fountain is made of water.

There are languages

of which you are the blueprint

and as we speak them

the city rises.”
― Elka Cloke
