Resumo da Crítica

<b>Sword Catcher gave me everything I look for in medieval fantasy: </b>mystery and magic (not too much, not too little), expert worldbuilding, swordplay and politics, a colorful cast of interesting characters, and a story that kept me reading from the first page to the last, with enough twists and turns to keep me turning the pages. It&#39;s a big thick book, but it left me wanting more. <b>When&#39;s the next one coming out?</b> (No. 1 New York Times bestselling author George R. R. Martin)
<b>A gorgeously built world of decadence, betrayal, and grand adventure.</b> From the decadent and drunken parties of the nobles, to the dens of crime lords in the Warren and Maze, to the Sault, where the devotees of a lost goddess are penned, the city of Castellane makes the perfect backdrop for a delightful cast of characters to befriend, betray, and romance one another. <b>This is Cassandra Clare at her cleverest, twistiest and most heart-stopping&mdash;a triumph of a book</b> (Holly Black, New York Times bestselling author of The Book of Night)
Clare plunges us into <b>a thrilling world built with precision and brimming with enchantment.</b> Her spellbinding cast of outlaws, healers, royals, and rogues will have you questioning your allegiances with every delicious turn of the plot. <b>This is fantasy at its finest</b> (Leigh Bardugo, No. 1 New York Times bestselling author of Hell Bent)
<b>A sumptuous feast of a book, vivid and delicious and heady.</b> Cassandra Clare&rsquo;s trademark skills are on full display here: <b>epic worlds, wrenching romances, heart-slamming plot twists, Dickensian characters.</b> I can&rsquo;t wait to visit Castellane again (Kelly Link, bestselling author of White Cat, Black Dog)
<b>Sweeping yet intimate, rich with romance and intrigue, Sword Catcher is Cassandra Clare at her magical best. </b>In pages packed with sumptuous descriptions, Clare gives us a kingdom&rsquo;s worth of characters&mdash;including Kel the &lsquo;sword catcher,&rsquo; trained to protect his prince at all costs, and Lin, a young physician of an outcast people&mdash;forced to navigate a web of tangled loyalties between the loved ones they cherish and the powers they serve.<b> This book will break your heart and leave you wanting more!</b> (Helene Wecker, New York Times bestselling author of The Golem and the Jinni)
