"Pure revenge" as we know the title of the book and from the first moment I got it in my hands, I wanted to decipher it. The word "pure" as an aggressive definition of the word "revenge" I don't know about you, but to me it sounds contradictory, cynical and somewhat incongruous.
Watch out! I do not claim that the author has fallen into any interpretative error, but perhaps she wanted to give us some other key element about the case through this special "marriage" of the two words? Is the word "pure" personified? Who will this Agni be and why does she intend to take some revenge? Did Agni desire a pure, -in her own opinion-, revenge? Or are we talking about a successful pun by the author? Fortunately for us, the first answers will come to us from the summary, which I am quoting to you right away.
"'I am Agni and I own what I want to own. Whatever and whoever I decide. All the rest are just collateral casualties in a war to conquer my own top. I will not hesitate to take out anyone who dares to stand in the way of my plans. I am Agni and Vengeance is all MINE!" Haris, Arianna, Agni. Three completely different people, a strong bond and a sick passion. How does your life change when you know true love? How easily do you let go of the past and what if it doesn't want to leave you? Haris has a free relationship with Agni. He doesn't care about commitment until he meets Arianna. He follows his heart without a second thought. But Agni has a different opinion. The emptiness of his absence takes her mind into uncharted territory. Nothing is over each other, instead everything now begins. In mind games nothing is as it seems..."
So, reading the book, I have to tell you that it was a very pleasant surprise the way in which the author presents us with specific issues that as a society we either do not understand, or - incorrectly in my opinion - have a prejudice due to the lack of the necessary knowledge , but also because of the general climate to be considered by a large part of the citizens as taboo. The author comes and with due respect and attention will talk about them. That is, issues that directly or indirectly concern all of us and that we should not snub or ignore. It will open a "window" so that we can face and accept them. Let's not be afraid of them. Don't think of them as dangerous (in and out of quotes). And she achieves this with the directness of her speech. Uses familiar vocabulary and phrases. The examples are taken from everyday life and combined with how realistic and accessible the characters in the text are for us, the result is a highly understandable book.
In short, we are talking about a book that perfectly combines the continuous action, the strong but within permissible limits tendency of sensuality with the social element completely defending the genre to which it belongs. This is one of the most interesting and alternative social novels I have read to date and it makes me believe that from now on these books will acquire an air of rejuvenation and freshness that will satisfy a larger percentage of the reading public. A book that I recommend you to read as well.
Good reading!
