The Scarlet Alchemist
The Scarlet Alchemist
New from the author of The Keeper of Night comes a YA fantasy duology set in an alternate Tang Dynasty China, where a poor biracial girl with the ability to raise the dead gets caught up in the dangerous political games of the royal family.
Zilan dreams of becoming a royal alchemist, of providing for her family by making alchemical gold and gems for the wealthy to eat in order to stay young forever. But for now, she's trapped in her impoverished village in southern China, practicing an illegal form of alchemy to keep food on the table--resurrecting the dead, for a price.
When Zilan finally has the chance to complete her imperial exams, she ventures to the capital to compete against the best alchemists in the country in tasks she'll be lucky to survive, let alone pass. On top of that, her reputation for raising the dead has followed her to the capital, and the Crown Prince himself seeks out her help, suspecting a coming assassination attempt.
The more Zilan succeeds in her alchemy, the more she gets caught in the dangerous political games of the royal family. There are monsters lurking within the palace walls, and it's only a matter of time before they--and secrets of Zilan's past--catch up with her.

��️RATING: 3⭐ / 5⭐
��️SPICE: 1�� / 5��
��️ Am primit aceasta carte de la @fairyloot in luna noiembrie. Nu am fost foarte incantata de ea, mai ales ca nu am auzit de aceasta carte pe niciunde.
��️ Dar sa stiti ca e destul de buna. Avem actiunea plasata in China, avem elemente din istoria chineză plus alchimie. O avem pe Zilan, ce vrea sa ajunga alchimist imperial, si isi castiga banii pentru a intra la acest examen prin reînviere oamenilor bogati, care o platesc destul de bine pentru acest lucru. Chiar daca aceasta practica este interzisa.
��️ Adevarata actiune incepe cand trece de examen si ajunge la palat. Aici avem cateva rasturnari de situatie, monstrii, asasinate si o mica poveste de dragoste. Una mica de tot ��.
��️ I-am dat 3⭐ pentru ca unele lucruri nu prea au fost logice, dar in rest m-am bucurat de aceasta carte. Volumul 2 apare anul acesta prin toamna, si cred ca il voi citii pentru ca vreau sa vad ce rezolvare au la unele evenimente din volumul acesta.
