Dočteno, knihu jsem zhltala za dva večery a nemohla jsem se od ní odtrhnout. Já prostě miluju Middle-grade dobrodružství, tady navíc byl místní folklór, mytologie, trochu nedpřirozeno, ty španělská jména, ostrov, z velké části neprobádaný. Prostě kouzelná knížečka s kouzelným, napínavým, nenáročným samozřejmě, příběhem.
In conclusione, è un romanzo niente male, ovviamente non è perfetto ma devo dire che è stato abbastanza bello ed emozionante da leggere, tralasciando dei momenti “morti” all’interno della vicenda, il finale inaspettato mi è piaciuto molto lasciandomi letteralmente a bocca aperta; quindi, se siete alla ricerca di un’avventura fantastica ve lo consiglio. Il linguaggio è semplice ma non per questo banale ed elementare, anche se è un romanzo fantasy la vicenda sembra quasi realistica, fatta ad eccezione per alcuni casi.Isabella believes the legends of Joya are factual. Her interest in confirming the truth of Joya’s history – namely, that the girl-warrior Arinta really did save the island from a destructive demon – is strengthened by her father’s profession as the island’s only mapmaker. She absorbs his artful profession with the same fervor as dried parchment soaks up ink, learning as much as she can about map-making and reading the stars. Becoming a mapmaker shapes and enriches her character, and a beautiful comparison is accordingly drawn between mapping topography on paper and our lives being mapped on our physical bodies. Something strange has happened the world which Isabella inhabits. It is a place full of dark secrets and a past shrouded with myths flavoured with the essence of truth. One myth, the story of Arinta the warrior girl, strikes a chord with Isabella more than the others - it speaks of fire deamons and islands which sailed the oceans. I dialoghi sono ben costruiti e per nulla monotoni, visto che sono una parte fondamentale della storia.

The island of Joya and its history comes alive through Isabella's eyes and soon we are thrown into a vortex of events involving demonic beasts and hidden tunnels which until then had been thought to be just bedtime stories. With her lucid and clear style, Hargrave brings life and emotions to the intricacies of map-making quite efficiently. I never thought that this vocation can be as exciting as this.
The highlight for me was the occasional description of mapmaking. The tied-in place descriptions told in the main character and her father's words were similarly gorgeous. I loved all of that. I was really happy when Isabella wasn't one of those special snowflake characters who find out she has magical powers. She was a normal human that had a magical way with maps. It wasn't the case where its only her to save the day but her best friend Lupe also played a massive role in saving Joya (the island). Il libro è completamente incentrato sul viaggio e le avventure che la protagonista vive per salvare la sua amica, il viaggio, l’amicizia e il senso del sacrificio costituiscono i pilastri fondamentali della storia senza i quali non avrebbe senso. The fate of some characters were really sad surprises but its like you kind of feel happy for them since they went down doing what they believed would redeem themselves from the bad things they have done in the past. All the legends are true in this book. Yes they are. And there are so many monsters - both human and inhuman. After a while you even start looking over Isa's shoulder for her because nowhere is safe. Okay not really, but you do start holding your breath for her.Journeying alongside Isabella is her longtime friend Pablo, a stable boy with narrow-minded beliefs about what young women can accomplish. His character acts as the megaphone for the book’s theme of exploring gender roles. To join the expedition, Isabella must disguise herself as a boy. When Pablo discerns her true identity, he questions her ability to join the team: The maps. The whole book was filled with pretty designs and tiny details of maps and even the ink of the text was a lovely navy blue color. There were three parts in the book and before each part there was a beautiful map of the new location the characters were in. Anyway, i think the book should get a star just for how pretty it is. is that a thing? I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys reading myths, fairy tales, and folklore, or books about girls who are steadfast and loyal friends saving their world together. (And who doesn't love that?) Having lost both her twin brother and her mother, Isabella is left to live in the village of Gromera with her father who has instilled in his daughter a love of maps. So it seems cruel that someone so drawn to exploration is bound to the village alone under the ominous gaze of the governor. It takes a terrible event and the disappearance of her best friend (the governor's daughter) to set Isabella upon a quest which could result in her death and the destruction of the world she holds so dear. even though the writing was really good, I think from my personal preference I just didn't enjoy it and wasn't really interested
We are all of us products of our surroundings. Each of us carries the map of our lives on our skin, in the way we walk, even in the way we grow. Kiran Millwood Hargrave was born in Surrey in 1990, and her earliest ambition was to be a cat, closely followed by a cat-owner or the first woman on Mars. She has achieved only one of these things, but discovered that being a writer lets you imagine whatever you want. The Girl of Ink and Stars is one of those rare treasures that is as gorgeous on the inside as it is on the outside. After initially eyeing this up as a cover buy and then hearing nothing but incredible things about this book I finally jumped straight in and I loved every second.the characters are all so boring and have no personality what so ever and didn't even seem to have any development as the story went on
Great Deal
