Shakespeare Quartet: The Obsidian Mirror: Book 1: Shakespeare Quartet

Autor Catherine Fisher
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 4 oct 2012 – vârsta până la 16 ani
Jake's father disappears while working on mysterious experiments with the obsessive, reclusive Oberon Venn. Jake is convinced Venn has murdered him. But the truth he finds at the snow-bound Wintercombe Abbey is far stranger ...

The experiments concerned a black mirror, which is a portal to both the past and the future. Venn is not alone in wanting to use its powers. Strangers begin gathering in and around Venn's estate: Sarah - a runaway, who appears out of nowhere and is clearly not what she says, Maskelyne - who claims the mirror was stolen from him in some past century. There are others, a product of the mirror's power to twist time. And a tribe of elemental beings surround this isolated estate, fey, cold, untrustworthy, and filled with hate for humans. But of them all, Jake is hell-bent on using the mirror to get to the truth. Whatever the cost, he must learn what really happened to his father.

Recenzii

Catherine Fisher, author of the brilliant Incarceron and Sapphique books, embarks on an ambitious new series...a riveting read where nothing is quite what it seems
A genre buster...a great set-up for what promises to be a fantastic fantasy series
A riveting read that will leave you impatient for the next instalment
A tale that effortlessly combines a number of narratives, voices, and modes of storytelling...moves at breakneck pace and constantly springs surprises
[A] time travelling, historical, supernatural thriller, with replicants, fairies, crazed scientists, changelings, wolves, genies and Dickensian waifs...Don't ask, just enjoy.
Time travel and the faery world collide in the first book in a stunning new sequence from the best-selling author
Dark and scary with a fast moving narrative and imaginative characters...an intricate plot...a real page turner for teenagers
Clever, complex and sophisticated...Fisher not only interweaves strands of dystopian Science fiction with fairy tale, but expertly crafts a story of loss with the bittersweet and tantalising prospect of time travel fixing everything...The book is a tangled web and Fisher jumps from scene to scene with cliff hanger moments urging the reader to unlock her puzzle...With a movie of her acclaimed novel Incarceron soon to be released, Fisher is definitely an author to watch
Fisher's universe is wholly envisaged...bleak, brittle and brilliant
A new novel by catherine Fisher, poet and prize-winning novelist, is always a treat...The Obsidian
Mirror is both thriller and Science fiction and -- being written in Fisher's acid prose -- is equally satisfying to fans of both genres

This book is beautifully written and keeps you wanting more. It's fantasy with a thrill of adventure, and is one of those books that you just can't put down
Extremely exciting and interesting, and it keeps you on your toes throughout the book
A well-plotted, gripping fantasy adventure with a touch of wild magic
One of the most engrossing fantasy thrillers of last year
PRAISE FOR INCARCERON AND SAPPHIQUE:

'... stands out above all others. Its imaginative scale and gobsmacking finale make it one of the best fantasy novels written for a long time.'
'one of today's best fantasy writers ... a deliciously dark and scary ride.'
'... imaginative, rich in texture and vividly realised. Catherine Fisher writes with consummate skill and depth of feeling.'
'One of this year's most striking fantasy novels'
PRAISE FOR THE ORACLE SEQUENCE:
'... a rich, resonant conclusion to the series.'

'Vivid, complicated, and thoroughly engrossing, this fast paced adventure keeps readers avidly turning pages until the majestic conclusion.'
... an intoxicating world reminiscent of the Arabian Nights. Highly recommended.
suspense is constantly built ... rattles along at a dizzying pace ... next volume please.
A crisp, quick-moving narrative and fully fleshed out characters will keep readers hooked
A powerful and very exciting adventure story.
'... one of the most skilled and original writers currently working in young adult fantasy'
'Beautifully imagined and realised, this novel of future regression is rich with strong characters, big issues and a compelling plot. It is a barnstorming piece of serious fantasy that doesn't put a foot wrong.'
'Catherine Fisher is an artist with words ... An engrossing, intricate story of an extraordinary journey undertaken by ricjly imaginative characters'
'a deliciously dark and scary ride.'
'a deep and sophisticated adventure story'

A sophisticated and beautifully written novel with a brilliant climax.
Author of the brilliant Incarceron and Sapphique books embarks on an ambitious new series with The Obsidian Mirror.
Another fascinating hero can be found in Catherine Fisher's The Obsidian Mirror. Fisher's universe is wholly envisaged. This is bleak, brittle and brilliant.
Clever, complex and sophisticated. Fisher not only interweaves strands of dystopian Science Fiction with fairy tale fantasy but expertly crafts a story of loss with bittersweet and tantalising prospect of time travel fixing everything. The book is a tangled web and Fisher jumps from scene to scene with cliff hanger moments urging the reader to unlock her puzzle.
