The Last Hour Between Worlds: The Echo Archives
Autor Melissa Carusoen Limba Engleză Hardback – 21 noi 2024
Imaginați-vă un bal aristocratic unde, la fiecare bătaie a ceasului, pereții realității se fisurează, aruncând invitații în versiuni tot mai periculoase și bizare ale propriului oraș. Aceasta este premisa spectaculoasă din The Last Hour Between Worlds, un roman care îmbină rigoarea unei enigme de tip „locked-room mystery” cu extravaganța unui fantasy de înaltă clasă. Remarcăm modul în care Melissa Caruso construiește tensiunea: detectiva Kembral Thorne și celebra hoață Rika Nonesuch sunt forțate să treacă peste rivalitatea lor istorică pentru a opri o catastrofă multidimensională, totul în timp ce navighează prin decoruri care se transformă sub ochii lor. Credem că inovația majoră constă în acest sistem magic cinetic, unde timpul nu este doar o resursă, ci un mecanism care modifică arhitectura lumii. Atmosfera te trimite cu gândul la The Hexologists, deși accentul pus pe dinamica dintre cele două protagoniste și ritmul alert de investigație marchează o voce proprie, mult mai orientată spre acțiune și spirit ludic. Față de lucrările sale anterioare, precum The Obsidian Tower sau finalul trilogiei The Unbound Empire, unde mizele erau adesea politice și epice, aici Caruso alege o abordare mai intimă și mai inventivă, concentrându-se pe o aventură plină de spirit, fără a sacrifica profunzimea construcției de lume care i-a adus recunoașterea internațională.

Descriere
Recenzii
A brilliant, breathlessly twisty fantasy adventure that I utterly adored. Melissa Caruso is a powerhouse
I love The Last Hour Between Worlds to pieces . . . A time-bending triumph, a compelling adventure . . . A gorgeous, witty, fast-paced and atmospheric novel
A charming fantasy mystery that kept me guessing until the very last page - I completely adored this book and would read a dozen more of Kembral's adventures
This book has everything you've been craving: sword fights, time loops, complicated feelings about parenthood, and banter with your sworn enemy. What an absolute delight!
An addictive read with an incredibly sympathetic heroine and a delightful relationship. I loved it and can't wait for more in this world
Equal parts sheer adventurous fun and creepy, dimension-bending tension, featuring a relatable and instantly engaging protagonist. This is totally unlike anything I've read before; Caruso has pulled off a wonderfully creative premise with skill and panache
To say The Last Hour Between Worlds hits the ground running would be an understatement: This book starts at a sprint and never slows down. It's funny, and scary and weird in the very best way. Melissa Caruso's writing is razor-sharp and this book is one heck of a page-turner
A witty, tense and imaginative triumph of a book, I lost many an unplanned hour inhaling The Last Hour Between Worlds. With its compelling magic, reluctant hero trying (and failing) to be on leave, and one increasingly surreal party, this tightly paced story will be a lasting favourite!
This book is for those who dream of going to the ball inside the Goblin King's crystal bubble, but struggle with work-life balance and finding a good babysitter. A jewelled swirl of dangerous magic, fabulous outfits and reluctant heroism, Caruso's The Last Hour Between Worlds is fiendishly well-plotted, utterly enchanting and surprisingly relatable
This twisty, locked-room mystery spans alternate dimensions; braiding romance and adventure into brilliant, time-looping fun
Twisty, breakneck, and full of delightful surprises, The Last Hour Between Worlds is a book guaranteed to pull you out of a reading slump. Equal parts hilarious and poignant, this is Caruso's best work yet - a time-loop, murder mystery party like you've never read before. I dare you to put it down
A fantastical locked-room mystery where every peal of the clock peels away another layer of reality . . . The Last Hour Between Worlds is an absolute adventure, with a queer lead, a snarky rival and breath-takingly poignant moments. Reader, I inhaled it
Melissa Caruso's writing is utterly captivating! Fresh world, twisty mystery, and a main character you'll want to back to the ends of every world. The intersection of motherhood and magic adds a richness to the world that immediately glued me to the page
Outrageously clever, with characters who are at times wantonly absurd, engaging, enraging, and intricate, this is a book for everyone who wants to escape reality - though beware, it gets weirder the deeper you go
Caruso never takes her foot off the gas, marrying riveting action with meticulous worldbuilding and eccentric characters through effortless prose. Readers will be hooked
Clever, empathetic characters, an unusual world, and a rapidly paced story that keeps readers guessing will delight fans of Caruso's and create new ones
A heady, bizarre rush of murder mystery meets Alice's in Wonderland . . . This book is truly a breath of fresh air
This tale has twists and turns aplenty. On top of the witty banter between the female protagonists, the story flows like an Agatha Christie novel . . . This is a different kind of adventure that readers of Caruso's fantasies with a romantic and mysterious twist will enjoy
