Recensie: De zilveren rivier - S.A. ChakrabortyVoor fans van de Daevabad-trilogie voelt De Zilveren Rivier als een triomfantelijke terugkeer naar een wereld die al geliefd was en nu nog meer diepgang krijgt. Deze collectie van vijftien korte verhalen en verwijderde scènes biedt een verrijkende blik op het universum en de personages waar we in De Koperen Stad, Het Koninkrijk van Koper, en Het Bronzen Rijk verliefd op werden. Voor wie nog niet met de trilogie bekend is: begin bij De Koperen Stad.

As much as we’ve been looking forward to the springtime sunshine — you know you’ll need to dust off those rain boots first. One of our favorite places to read is by an open window with the rain pattering outside and budding flowers waiting to bloom. The only thing that could make those April showers any better is when we’re curled up with a brand new paperback. Why not give these a spin?

What the Dune Houses Are ReadingI’ve seen it — epic fantasy books that spread like an unquenchable fire to your #TBR. If you’re like us, you’ve been waiting with bated breath for the premier of Dune Part II. Amid scrolling through interviews of Timothée Chalamet and Zendaya and wishing we were invited to the dazzling red carpets with Austin Butler and Florence Pugh, we got to work on a list of sci/fi and fantasy books that we’re sure would be tucked away on the shelves of each Dune house.

'Where are all the mothers in fantasy?' Every so often you see this question pop up in reading circles, a pondering so tired and true that even Disney got in on the teasing, with a self-directed dig at their plethora of motherless princesses in one of their recent animated movies. After all, a dead parent is an easy narrative choice for instant heartbreak or a tragic backstory.

Few books these days can explore uncharted waters. Brandon Sanderson’s “Tress and the Emerald Sea” and Shannon Chakraborty’s “The Adventures of Amina Al-Sirafi” breathe fresh air into the fantasy genre and the well-worn pirate adventure that I have enjoyed since I first read “Treasure Island” as a boy. kAmq@E9 DE@C:6D D92C6 >2?J DFC7246\=6G6= D:>:=2C:E:6D — 2 H@>2? =62G6D 96C 72>:=J 2?5 E2<6D E@ E96 9:89 D62D :? @C56C E@ C6D4F6 2 <:5?2AA65 :??@46?E[ 82:?D E96 =@J2=EJ @7 2?

Reviewed by Robert Goodman. By Shannon Chakraborty, Harper Collins, $32.99. Shannon Chakraborty follows up her Daevabad trilogy (which started with City of Brass) with more Middle Eastern inspired fantasy. The first of a projected series, The Adventures of Amina Al-Sirafi delivers what the title and cover promise – a rollicking tale of pirates, magic and high seas adventure in the vein of Sinbad.
