De naaister en de wind is een heerlijk lachwekkende en grappige roman zoals alleen César Aira die kan schrijven. Een naaister die een trouwjurk aan het naaien is vreest dat haar zoon al rijdend in een vrachtwagen per ongeluk is ontvoerd en naar Patagonië is verdwenen. Volledig in paniek belt ze een lokale taxi om de achtervolging in te zetten. Als haar man hoort wat er is gebeurd, gaat hij achter vrouw en kind aan. Zo racen ze niet alleen naar het einde van de wereld, maar ook naar avonturen vol verlangen. De wilde zuidenwind wordt verliefd op de naaister en een monsterachtig kind neemt het op tegen de vrachtwagenchauffeur. De halsbrekende achtervolging wordt afgewisseld met Aira’s meeslepende overpeinzingen en herinneringen aan zijn jeugd in zijn geboorteplaats, de arbeidersstad Coronel Pringles. César Aira (1949) is geboren in Coronel Pringles, Argentinië. Sinds 1967 woont hij in Buenos Aires. Hij wordt beschouwd als een van de origineelste schrijvers van Zuid-Amerika en heeft meer dan honderd titels op zijn naam staan. Hij schrijft geregeld voor El País en zijn werk is in vele landen vertaald. Eerder verschenen van hem bij Koppernik Een episode uit het leven van een landschapsschilder, Het literatuurcongres en De haas.

Fae Courts with High Intrigue
Format: Kindle
This book is one that just builds and builds and then surprises you to no end. You may think you know the villains and then you are jolted in another direction. Princess Reyna is a real gem, strong of character, a fierce fighter, and loyal to her family and kingdom. Just when you think she and Lorcan, well you know, the plot is flipped. Can't wait to see where this goes in book two.

Slow, sorry but good
Format: Kindle
This was a slow moving book. Lots of character pov chapters, lots of superfluous descriptions and endless courtly appearances stalled this book to start. Once you get into the heart of the story, it takes off. Before you know it the book is done. My favorite character is Reyna. She is so strong. She is true to herself. She gets into a lot of trouble with her headstrong ways but it's entertaining. I have high hopes for Lorcan. He is honorable to a fault. Thane had turned out to be better than I thought but i still don't like him. Eislin is useless. Great plot twists at the end. I'm looking forward too book 2.

Very detailed! Beautiful world building! Strong Heroine!
Format: Kindle
Starts off a little slow and confusing with different POV’s, but starts to all come together towards the middle to make an elaborate plot line and makes it all worth it. Beautiful world building and attention to detail as well as great writing. The cliffhanger was gut wrenching! Can’t wait for the next book!

Interesting
Format: Kindle
This was a very captivating book once you got into it thoroughly. But the third person perspective was a bit hard to get used to. But as you got into it and followed the different characters, it was interesting and filled with intrigue, conflict and forbidden love.
I can’t wait to read the next one and to complete the series.

OUTSTANDING
Format: Kindle
This was very, very good. The world is vast and characters are complex. There is a good plot with a whole lot going on. This is well written. Good twists and turns and some heart breaking moments. You will love these characters, they have heart and loyalty. I am hoping that there will be several more books. We've yet to see anything from the Sea Court but only a mention of them here and there. The Wood Court was given a quick couple of scenes, and only as far as some warriors, we've yet to enter their court and the Shadow Court, I'm not sure if they will be a force for good or bad, but they definitely will play a much bigger role moving forward. This is primarily the Ice and Air Courts. Told in multiple views, which I loved, it gives you a chance to see things from different eyes. There's alot of political maneuvering and deception. I loved it and will pick up the next book as it becomes available. If you like The Fae and the courts, you should love this. I think the author has mucn in store for us.
