Robins’s debut fantasy chronicles the fascinating transformation of year-old Miranda from girlish street urchin to an attractive, audacious. Maledicte (Antyre, book 1) by Lane Robins – book cover, description, publication history. There’s not much I can say about Lane Robins, author of “Maledicte”. As far as I can tell, she doesn’t have a website or blog yet, and about all.

And also, it just didn’t seem that necessary for someone to cross-dress in order to go on a killing rampage in a decadent robinss, other than the admitted dexterity pants would give over yards and yards of embellished skirt. Go to our library’s website www. Things happened so abruptly that they made little sense, poor world building, little character back story development when there needed to be tons and a main character I couldn’t stand. It’s hard watching Maledicte self-destruct; even harder to watch him get used by Janus who envisions the power he would wield as king of Antyre with Maledicte and his blade at his side.
Read this goddamned wonder of a book. Robins has a keen eye for foreshadowing as her plot spirals toward its inevitable end which is somehow shocking, endearing, hopeful, and gives every character what they want—for better or worse.

And we see only enough of Miranda’s former life to understand why she is the person she is. There was a problem adding your email address. I just wasn’t convinced. She takes shelter beneath the altar of Black-winged Ani, the goddess of vengeance responsible for the devastation around her, and emerges as Maledicte, goddess-ridden avatar of vengeance, and is determined to successfully pass as maledkcte male.
I thought you would like to know! As far as the prose, Ms. I really wanted to like this. Filled with treacherous intrigue, murderous intent, hope of new beginnings, and a vengeful goddess, Maledicte is riveting with an overwhelming sense of doom lurking within the shadows of its pages.
Maledicte is a book that skillfully juggles all three elements, while impressively managing to hit a few of my other less commonly prodded buttons. I can see that the author wanted to write the next count of Monte Cristo, but this revenge theme this bbok eobins centered on is shallow.
However, I have some serious critiques. The sexual androgony and never-ending lust madness got really old really fast. Mar 31, Kat Hooper rated it liked it. Disguising herself as a young lord named Maledicte she wins over the elderly lame of a house; he decides to foster Maledicte as an heir; for a price.
She appeals to the supposedly dead god of love and vengeance, Black-Winged Ani—and the god fills her with rage and power. It is simply that Maledicte is not a woman. I had a hard time believing that, too. The city is a ghostly skeleton, thinly sketched beyond the homes of Vornatti, through which the characters manoeuvre.
Maledicte (Antyre, #1) by Lane Robins
Maledicte is a wonder of story-telling, that character whom we love and are drawn to despite the horrifying array of flaws and bad choices. I fell in love with his servant Gilly. View all 6 comments. Maledicte Lane Robins, Author. I had a hard time putting this book down. The main character in Maledicte was beautifully dark, and full of so much rage, but it was impossible to dislike her or become annoyed with her.
Miranda adopts Maledicte’s persona completely and works to become a ferocious fighter and deadly courtier.
Questions?
She honestly did give all of herself to Janus. Let me tell maledcte how I over came the crappy blurb and my own reservations and found my new favorite book.
