Incendiary (Hollow Crown)

Product Information

Moria were feared, hunted, persecuted and killed by the crown of Puerto Leones and the Robári were the most feared of them all. Which brings us to our main character, Renata Convida, a Robári who was kidnapped by the King's Justice as a child and was used to steal memories from royal enemies. Memories that contained information leading to the deaths of thousands of Moria. However, the Moria rebels (called the Whispers) rescued her and let her join their ranks but they never let her have their trust. When Dez, the commander of her unit and the only person who truly trusted and cared about Ren, was captured, Ren had to go under cover and complete his mission no matter the cost. Now Renata is one of the Whispers, rebel spies working against the crown and helping the remaining Moria escape the kingdom bent on their destruction. The Whispers may have rescued Renata from the palace years ago, but she cannot escape their mistrust and hatred--or the overpowering memories of the hundreds of souls she turned "hollow" during her time in the palace. Renata Convida was only a child when she was kidnapped by the King's Justice and brought to the luxurious palace of Andalucia. As a Robari, the rarest and most feared of the magical Moria, Renata's ability to steal memories from royal enemies enabled the King's Wrath, a siege that resulted in the deaths of thousands of her own people. I loved Chris Cleave’s Little Bee, so when my husband learned that I was meeting a friend in a bookstore, he told me I should look for Cleave’s first book Indendiary and see if I’d like that too. So I looked.

We also find out how he is also connected to Renata, and that for instance is a relationship that I would like to explore even more in the next book. There is a lot of sexual tension there, and when they both come together is just explosive (very much like Jude and Cardan). So I am #TeamCastian all the way, I think he is the better man.And that is full pact of fantasy action, a original idea filled with very complex characters and a promising plot. That is what we all are here for. And trust me, the book lived up to those standards, maybe even more than the necessary. Ren speaks to Davida, who basically raised Castian herself after Castian’s brother died and his mother went into mourning. Her memories show Castian being abused by his father. Ren determines that Davida isn’t the spy.

Finkelstein is more than used to taking on the Holocaust establishment. In the mid-Nineties he published a scathing critique of Hitler's Willing Executioners, a book by Daniel Goldhagen, Harvard Professor of Jewish History, which claimed the entire German nation had, through ingrained anti-Semitism, been eager accomplices in the genocide of the Jews. Depois de ter lido "Pequena Abelha" e "Menina de Ouro" e de ter adorado os dois, faltava-me ler "Incendiário", que é o primeiro romance do autor. I was probably unusually close to my parents so I do what I can now to preserve the integrity of their memory. The Holocaust deserves to be remembered.' He just hates the way the remembering is done. Also, might I add that my name is also Renata as the main character and my friends call me Ren and sometimes Nati so I was so happy? Like you don’t read about Renatas? And!! I felt really connected with the character, like I felt I was described in this book and the thoughts and actions of the main character somehow were so similar to what I’d do.A very successful book of author Chris Cleave is entitled ‘Incendiary’. It was released by the Anchor publication in the year 2005. The book attracted a lot of international attention because of its plot’s eerie similarity to the London bombings in 2005 which took place on the day of the book’s publication. The book won a Fiction Award in 2005 and was then later adapted into a movie having the same name. Author Cleave has written the plot in the epistolary first person manner. The lead character, a young lady and a mother, writes an emotional letter to a notorious terrorist named Osama bin Laden following the incendiary bombings in London.
