Heartless Hunter

Wednesday Books • 2024

AN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER! Enemies-to-lovers doesn't get more high stakes than a witch and a witch hunter falling in love in bestselling author Kristen Ciccarelli's latest romantic fantasy.... On the night Rune’s life changed forever, blood ran in the streets. Now, in the aftermath of a devastating revolution, witches have been diminished from powerful rulers to outcasts ruthlessly hunted due to their waning magic, and Rune must hide what she is. Spending her days pretending to be nothing more than a vapid young socialite, Rune spends her nights as the Crimson Moth, a witch vigilante who rescues her kind from being purged. When a rescue goes wrong, she decides to throw the witch hunters off her scent and gain the intel she desperately needs by courting the handsome Gideon Sharpe - a notorious and unforgiving witch hunter loyal to the revolution - who she can't help but find herself falling for. Gideon loathes the decadence and superficiality Rune represents, but when he learns the Crimson Moth has been using Rune’s merchant ships to smuggle renegade witches out of the republic, he inserts himself into her social circles by pretending to court her right back. He soon realizes that beneath her beauty and shallow façade, is someone fiercely intelligent and tender who feels like his perfect match. Except, what if she’s the very villain he’s been hunting? Kristen Ciccarelli’s Heartless Hunter is the thrilling start to The Crimson Moth duology, a romantic fantasy series where the only thing more treacherous than being a witch...is falling in love.

Dubnové společné čtení máme za sebou a přichází další měsíc — přidejte se k nám v aplikaci Fable do #klubunavenychrodicu. Do klubu se můžete přidat i když nejste rodiče nebo unavení — čtěte svým vlastním tempem a zapojit se můžete i zpětně. Pro květen padla volba na první díl čarodějnické duologie Karmínová můra – Nelítostný lovec, který už vyšel v českém překladu i s pokračováním; autorka má nedávno další titul v překladu a kniha má převážně pochvalné recenze, i když je to YA. Mě osobně překvapil vysoký počet kapitol — 62 kapitol s krátkými, zhruba pětistránkovými kapitolami — a k sdílení čtecích postupů jsou připravené templates ke stažení pro Instagram a Facebook.

Kniha sleduje Rune, ktorá po revolúcii, keď sú bosorky prenasledované, cez deň predstiera márnivú dedičku a v noci ako Karmínová moľa tajne chráni svojich, pričom sa rozhodne získať informácie lichotením bezcitnému lovcovi Gideonovi a zároveň zapliesť do milostného trojuholníka s Gideonom a Alexom. Autorka sa viac sústredí na vývoj vzťahov, takže ide skôr o romantiku než o rozsiahlu fantasy, čo knihu robí svižnou a návykovou, ale zároveň mi v príbehu chýbalo podrobnejšie vysvetlenie sveta. Postavy sú zaujímavé a kontrastné — Rune je rozporuplná a prefíkaná, Gideon je neodolateľný „bad boy“ a Alex predstavuje spoľahlivého dobráka. Čítanie ma bavilo a chcel by som pokračovanie, no koniec ma poriadne naštval, čo mierne znižuje celkový dojem.
