Mit Iwankas Geschichte lässt Maria Matios die vielstimmige Ukraine des 20. Jahrhunderts erklingen. Dies ist die Geschichte von Iwanka, dies ist die Geschichte der Ukraine Maria Matios ist eine der bekanntesten Schriftsteller*innen der Ukraine. In klarer Sprache erzählt sie in "Mitternachtsblüte" von der jungen Iwanka, die in einem abgeschiedenen nordbukowinischen Dorf lebt. Sie leidet an Epilepsie, die Bewohner*innen betrachten sie als Sonderling. Doch fühlt sich das Mädchen in ihrer Fantasiewelt wohl, inmitten der Erzählungen und volkstümlichen Weisheiten ihrer Großeltern. Von dort aus beobachtet sie das Miteinander von Ukrainer*innen, Jüd*innen, Pol*innen und Deutschen. Rasch lernt sie, was gut ist und was böse. Bis der Zweite Weltkrieg ausbricht und die "roten Kommissare" einmarschieren, und bald darauf Deutsche und Rumän*innen in Uniformen - das gewohnte Leben ist schlagartig vorbei. Menschen werden aus dem Dorf deportiert, die jüdischen Bewohner*innen bangen um ihr Leben. "'Ich sag Euch, die Menschen und Länder werden aussortiert wie Nüsse. Nicht im Himmel, sondern auf der Erde. Und dann bricht sich einer von den Teufeln da das Genick, und uns werden sie wieder wie Nüsse verlesen. Und die Leut leben weiter auf der Erde wie eh und je, nur immer schwerer wird alles ...'" Über die Bukowina rollten jahrhundertelang die Geschichte und ihre Mächte. Allein im 20. Jahrhundert war sie Teil der Habsburgermonarchie, wurde abwechselnd von rumänischen Truppen, der Sowjetunion und vom nationalsozialistischen Deutschen Reich besetzt, in einen nördlichen und südlichen Teil zerrissen. Diese Entwicklungen und Ereignisse hinterließen Spuren. In Form von kulturellen Zeugnissen einer multiethnischen Bevölkerung, aber auch in Form von Wunden: Mit den Umbrüchen und Machtwechseln kamen auch Deportationen von Hunderttausenden in die stalinistischen Lager nach Sibirien, Deportationen in die Ghettos und Konzentrationslager Transnistriens. "Die Ukraine und ihre nahe Vergangenheit werden im neuen Roman von Maria Matios für den europäischen Leser nicht nur begreifbar, sondern förmlich greifbar. Selten wurde das menschliche Leben mit all seinen Freuden und Tragödien, mit all seinen Geschichten von Hass und Liebe in der ukrainischen Literatur in einer so farbenprächtigen Sprache geschildert, wie es Maria Matios meisterhaft gelingt." Andrej Kurkow Aus dem Ukrainischen von Maria Weissenböck ¿

Great New Fantasy Series!
Format: Hardcover
I came across The Road of Bones by Demi Winters as I was scanning NetGalley and when I read the summary I was intrigued. I'm always interested in a good Fantasy but when you throw Vikings into the mix, I'm on board. Now, I did have this book on my TBR shelf, but I'm going to tell you, thankfully when I cracked this book open I happened to be on vacation because I couldn't put it down and I've been telling everyone I know who will listen that they need to read it. Not only because it is good but because I NEED someone to talk to about it. Winters starts this book out with a bang and pulled me in from the start...Silla Nordvig is our fmc and she is on the run. We find out very quickly that she and her father have been moving from village to village but we don't truly know why and unfortunately as they are headed on their way out of their most recent village, Silla's father is killed and Silla is on her own trying to survive. What she doesn't understand is why the queen of Iseldur has sent warriors to bring her back to Sunnavik and based on her father's last words to her, Silla is determined to travel the Road of Bones and get to Kopa and the safety of a shield house. After barely surviving her first stretch of travel, Silla overhears a group discuss their travels and she sneaks into their supply wagon. What she didn't count on was that the wagon belonged to the notorious Bloodaxe Crew. To make it to Kopa, she has to win over Axe Eyes, the crew leader, while not falling for the Wolf's handsome face. As she finds herself getting closer to the whole crew (and slowly winning them over), the queen's hunter is on her tail and is determined to bring her back to Sunnavik no matter what it takes. Like I said, I couldn't put this book down. There is non-stop action in this book. Whether it is the danger of traveling the Road of Bones and coming across the various monsters there or trying to escape the queen's assassin, the Bloodaxe Crew and Silla are always facing some sort of danger along their travels. As for the characters, I love a book that has me feeling all the things for all the characters and this book did this for me. First, there is Silla. I won't say a lot about her backstory as I don't want to ruin anything here but she is put through the ringer here. That said, she doesn't ever give up and I love that about her. Don't get me wrong, she has her moments where she questions everything and doubts herself just like anyone who has gone through what she is going through would but she always tends to sit in it for a moment and then pull herself back together. And despite all this, Axe Eyes still refers to her as "Sunshine" which compared to him is probably fair. Wolf/Jonas - He values family and loyalty so that is a plus but I have a lot of feelings here and I can't say anything for fear that I will give anything away and sway someone's thoughts. That said, I had high hopes for him and I will talk about him more in my review for book 2. Axe Eyes/Rey - As grumpy as he likes to come across, he truly is a protector and while he likes to pretend he doesn't like Silla around, he also doesn't truly want her gone and when things go wrong, he is the one who tends to come through for everyone. Again I won't say a lot here as he has some secrets that are revealed and feed into the next book. Rest of the Bloodaxe Crew - The rest of the crew are a great supporting cast and help to move the story forward. Ultimately, this book was one that did a great job of combining the character's stories with the overall plot and there is an underlying story here. It's not just about Silla trying to get to Kopa. The queen of Iseldur is up to something and while we only get snippets of what the queen wants Silla for through her assassin/hunter, there is definitely something bigger at play. Admittedly, it wasn't a surprise to me as to what Silla's background was but I also couldn't help from feeling all the feelings for Silla as she starts to realize what she is up against and what that means for her. Also, it's a harsh world that these characters live in and Winters did a fantastic job of putting it down on paper and getting me absorbed into it. If you're looking for an adult fantasy to pick up, consider grabbing this one. It has a great story, strong writing, solid world-building, and well-developed characters. Plus...then we can talk about all the things. The next book, Kingdom of Claw, comes out early in 2025 so you won't have too long to wait to see what happens with these characters. I'll definitely be picking up the next books in the series to see what happens for these characters as this book/series has me in a chokehold.

4.5 ⭐️ for this epic Viking Romantasy!
Format: Kindle
I slept on this book for far too long! I understand the hype now, and it is most definitely well deserved. While I thoroughly enjoyed this book, it did start a bit slow for me. I was a bit confused by the magic system as we never really got a good picture of how it works. But alas, it did pick up mid way through and I devoured the remainder of the book. There are so many things to love about this book - the found family, the characters, the perilously danger filled journey and the plot twists. There were enough Easter eggs that I was easily able to figure out the twists before they were revealed. The romance also comes with a bit of a twist and I knew it wasn’t right. It felt a little forced and was slightly uncomfortable to witness knowing he wasn’t the right love interest. By the end of the book, I was giddy with glee and look forward to seeing if what I hope will transpire comes to light in the next book. As this is a Viking setting, it comes with a lot of violence and gore, so make sure you take that to heart if you pick up this book.
