"Was hat dieses leblose gelbe Metall nur an sich, dass es die Menschen dazu bringt, ihre Heimat zu verlassen, all ihre Habe zu verkaufen und einen ganzen Kontinent zu durchqueren, um ihr Leben, ihre Knochen und ihre Gesundheit für einen Traum aufs Spiel zu setzen?" - Sebastião Salgado Nachdem man 1979 in einem der Flüsse der Gegend Gold entdeckt hatte, weckte die Serra Pelada Sehnsüchte nach dem legendären Goldland El Dorado. Ein Jahrzehnt lang war sie die weltgrößte Freiluftgoldmine , in der unter unmenschlichen Bedingungen rund 50.000 Goldgräber arbeiteten. Heute ist Brasiliens Goldrausch nur noch Stoff für Legenden , am Leben erhalten durch wenige glückliche und viele schmerzliche Erinnerungen - und die Fotografien von Sebastião Salgado. Im September 1986 erhielt Salgado endlich die Genehmigung, Serra Pelada zu besuchen - sechs Jahre lang hatten ihm brasilianische Militärbehörden den Zugang verweigert. Auf das außergewöhnliche Schauspiel, das ihn auf dieser abgelegenen Bergkuppe am Rande des Amazonas-Regenwalds erwartete, war er allerdings nicht gefasst. Vor seinen Augen tat sich ein gewaltiges Loch auf, mit einem Durchmesser von rund 200 Metern und ebenso tief, in dem Zehntausende notdürftig bekleidete Männer wie Ameisen schufteten. Die Hälfte von ihnen schleppte bis zu 40 Kilo schwere Säcke über hölzerne Leitern nach oben, die anderen sprangen an schlammigen Böschungen hinunter in den höhlenartigen Schlund, Körper und Gesichter ockerfarben von der eisenerzhaltigen Erde, die sie ausgeschachtet hatten. Als Salgado diese Aufnahmen machte, dominierten Farbfotos die Hochglanzseiten der Magazine. Schwarz-Weiß war ein gewagtes Unterfangen, doch seine Fotostrecke zur Goldmine der Serra Pelada führte zur Rückbesinnung auf die monochrome Fotografie . Damit knüpfte sie an eine Tradition an, die in den frühen und mittleren Jahren des 20. Jahrhunderts von Meistern wie Edward Weston, Brassaï, Robert Capa oder Henri Cartier-Bresson begründet worden war. Als Salgados Bilder beim New York Times Magazine eintrafen, geschah etwas Außergewöhnliches: Es herrschte vollkommene Stille. "In meiner ganzen Karriere bei der Times ", erinnerte sich Fotoredakteur Peter Howe, "habe ich niemals erlebt, dass Redakteure so auf eine Serie von Bildern reagierten wie auf die Aufnahmen von Serra Pelada." Heute, da die Fotografie von der Kunstwelt und von digitaler Manipulation vereinnahmt wird, begeistert Salgados Portfolio mit einer geradezu biblischen Qualität , sowie einer Unmittelbarkeit, die seinen Bildern zugleich etwas ausgesprochen Zeitgenössisches verleiht. Die Mine in Serra Pelada ist längst geschlossen, doch das bittere Drama des Goldrauschs springt den Betrachter aus jedem dieser Bilder immer noch an. Dieses Buch enthält das vollständige Serra-Pelada-Portfolio in großformatigen Reproduktionen und Museumsqualität, ein Vorwort des Fotografen, sowie einen Essay von Alan Riding. INSTITUTO TERRA1998 in Aimorés im Bundesstaat Minas Gerais gegründet, ist Instituto Terra das Resultat von Lélia Wanick Salgados und Sebastião Salgados lebenslangem Kampf für die Erhaltung von Natur- und Artenvielfalt. Durch die systematische Anpflanzung neuer Setzlinge hat die Organisation eine wundersame Wiederaufforstung des einst unfruchtbaren Tales bewirkt und fördert damit das Ziel der Salgados, den Effekt der Klimaerwärmung auf unseren Planeten einzudämmen. TASCHEN ist stolz darauf, durch unseren Beitrag zu dieser Mission den Status als CO2-neutraler Verlag erreicht zu haben. Ebenfalls erhältlich als signierte und limitierte Collector's Edition

Fun, both heartwarming and heartbreaking
Format: Kindle
Only my second first person written selection, I am still getting used to that aspect, but unlike my first, I enjoyed that the story was told through both MCs. A great enemies to lovers, forced proximity, fated love etc, that resonated to me. There were some small twists that I could see coming, but also a few that I didn’t quite see until the characters were also seeing. Personally, I am more interested in the story than the spice, but with that said, it was well seasoned! I am kind of new to the spice world so I can’t say for sure how this would rate, but it definitely had some heat. I am very glad I happened across this author, and I do plan on also reading the next book….if nothing else, just to see for myself the “transformation” of the characters I’ve grown to love!

😍😍 BEST DEBUT NOVEL EVER
Format: Paperback
I’m having trouble finding accurate words to describe the way this book made me feel, but I am going to do my best. To start off with basic elements, the character and world building are phenomenal. I feel a strong bond to not only the two main characters, Ara and Rogue, but to each and every character introduced throughout the book. The author did a stellar job of giving each of them unique personhood. All of the scenes are beautifully described. So much so that throughout the entirety of the book, I could see every scene: the towns, the castles, the meadows, the landscape. I have had difficulty with this and with distinguishing between outlying characters while reading in the past, but I did not have to think to remember details of world or character building because they flowed naturally within the story and were described well. I have read book series before that made me want to be a part of that world, but I actually felt like I got to step into Auryna and Ravaryn! The plot twists!! Although this is not a suspense novel, it still had me on a rollercoaster of emotions and on the edge of my seat from beginning to end. I haven’t cried actual tears over a book since I was in high school (and I’ve read a LOT). This book finally broke the floodgates in the final few chapters. Multiple times. And we love a good cliffhanger. It truly made me FEEL. THE SPICE is a solid 3.5/5. Some of the scenes had me flushed, some had me taking notes, some just had my jaw slack and my mouth hanging open. Bravo, JD Linton, bravo. The relationships: friendships, family, romantic, ALL of the relationships in this book have so much meaning. The author does a great job at making you feel the love, the anger, the peace, the frustrations, the safety, the familiarity, etc. between the characters. Ara and Rogue. I can not say enough and I also do not want to say too much. Just know that I feel like I know them both, to their core. I know what their childhood looks likes, their darkest moments, their biggest fears, their dreams and passions, what they want in life… The POV switches were seamless. I am so happy this author decided to let us see from both sets of eyes. I can not wait for book two after that cliffhanger. And there is SO much potential for at least one prequel, I can’t wait to see where this author goes! I hope this series continues and flourishes. Fingers crossed!

Amazing!
Format: Kindle, Format: Kindle
This book was phenomenal, I devoured it within a few days! For this being a debut novel, it is fantastic and I would’ve thought the author was a seasoned author. I have zero complaints about this book. Let me start by saying that the world building was phenomenal. I could picture everything in my head because of how detailed it was — that’s how good it was written. And I absolutely love the “captive/captor” trope so much, it’s become one of my favorite tropes, so I was pleasantly surprised to see that this book had that. I loved the banter between Rogue and Ara — they’re both snarky and witty, plus with the romantic tension, it made the dialogue that much better. Speaking of romantic tension, yes there is spice but not so much of it that it overrides the plot, which I loved. For me, this would probably be on the 3/5 level of spice. This book had a ton of plot twists and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

High on Tropes and Satisfaction
Format: Kindle
This is a great Romantasy book full of action, adventure, and everything you look for in this genre. I won’t lie: it does kinda feel like the author found every common trope from every successful book of this kind and threw them all into this novel. But if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. Especially in romance, there’s a large audience who has specific expectations, and they want them every time. Nothing wrong with that and many times I’m one of them. I have no idea what defines a spoiler honestly, so spoiler alert!!!!!!! Tropes include: Only one bed at the inn/bar Dissatisfaction with life before hunk appears Lost royalty The chosen one Montage of dress up time followed by shocked hunk Forbidden romance between two from rival peoples Power that cannot be controlled, simply guided/asked Gathering intel at the inn/bar FMC who knows how to fight/use weapons well There’s probably more but no need to list them all. Good story and I would recommend!

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.
