Frische Ambra
Ich bin Sargon, mächtiger Herrscher von Akkad, den Aqqi – der Gärtner der Großen Sümpfe – zwischen Euphrat und Tigris einst großzog. Die Essenz von Akkad ist das Geschenk der schönen Ischtar, die mich liebte und beschützte. Sie enthält die wertvollsten Salben von Pound und der Inseln des großen Meeres von denen, die noch viel weiter entfernt liegen. Diese Ambra ist wie das Licht, das mein Königreich erhellt, der wertvollste Schatz meines Reiches.

Vor über 5.500 Jahren entstand aus der Zivilisation Uruk, in der die Schrift erfunden wurde, Mesopotamien (der heutige Irak), das sich zwischen den beiden Strömen Euphrat und Tigris erstreckt. Nach der „Frühdynastischen Zeit“, die vor etwa 5.000 Jahren begann und in der das Gebiet in „Stadtstaaten“ aufgeteilt war, folgt ca. 2.300 v. Chr. ein Reich unter der Ägide eines mythischen Herrschers – Sargon.

Dieser ist nicht nur ein Eroberer, sondern auch ein Visionär, der Wegbereiter für die Zivilisation, die noch heute unser Erbe ist. Als Säugling wird er von seiner Mutter, einer Priesterin, in einem Weidenkorb auf dem Euphrat ausgesetzt und von Aqqi, dem Mundschenk und Gärtner des Königs gerettet. Dieser bringt ihn zum Hof von Kiš, und der ehrgeizige Sargon soll darauf dem Herrscher nachfolgen.

Der Duft
Akkad ist ein frischer Ambraduft, mystisch, aber auch sinnlich, mit dem man in die profanen Freuden der antiken Tyrannen eintaucht, den Dunst heiliger Öle, den würzigen Duft der Haut der Sklavinnen mit ihren gertenschlanken Körpern, die auf Diwanen und Seidentüchern leger dargeboten werden.

Delphine Thierry, die diese Kreation geschaffen hat, stellte sich dabei eine würzige aber frische Ambranote vor. Einen Gegensatz also zu den dunklen und mystischen Ambranoten, die an den Weihrauch in antiken Tempeln erinnern. Die Ambra in Akkad öffnet sich dann in eine Kopfnote aus aromatischen Zitrusfrüchten mit Mandarine und Bergamotte, angereichert mit Muskatellersalbei.

Muskatellersalbei oder auch das „Heilige Kraut“ ist für seine euphorisierende und ausgleichende Kraft bekannt. Das Herz ist voll reicher Balsam- und Gewürznoten mit Weihrauch und Styrax, die den antiken Orient wachrufen, erfrischt durch Elemi, ein frisches und beruhigendes Gewürz, belebt außerdem durch Kardamom. Die Basisnote mit pflanzlicher und tierischer Ambra, dreht sich um eine reiche, hölzerne Note aus Patchouli, abgemildert mit sinnlicher Vanille.

Sadly, DNF
Format: Kindle
I read this thru KU. I LOVED the synopsis. And then I began reading... and it was a DNF at 68% after picking it up and putting it down several times because I really loved the main female character. *****SPOILERS***** Pros: The world is unique, intriguing and fun. The primary female character is bad-a** but not a b*tech or a mary sue. The primary female has depth. I really want to know what happens to her even tho it's been weeks and I don't remember her name. The villains to the point I read are pretty good -- an ever present threat of mysterious and possibly many culprits. Cons: Way, way too many points of view. I stopped counting at 7. It's the prime reason why I don't care about most of the characters or remember their names even when I like them. There's just too many points of view so almost none of the characters have enough book space for the author to properly develop them. This literally killed the book for me. Actually it killed my desire to read. For weeks. The main male is more villain than hero. He agreed to marry the main female then locks her up & eschews her for her sister, all while bad mouthing her as unfit to rule when he never spent any time with her getting to know her. He is actually unfit to rule as he is blind to the woes of his own kingdom and starts off a peace mission to secure a ceasefire through marriage by murdering an inn full of people in her country for no real reason. Plus, he constantly makes promises he does not keep. And it's gross of him to pine for the sister behind the main female's back. ***** As much as I really wanted to see what happened to the main female character, it wasn't enough for me to keep trying to slog thru this book. There was a lot of potential here that just fell short. Hence, 3 stars.

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.
