“Harrowing, heartbreaking, and brutally human . . . a masterpiece of speculative fiction and social commentary.” —Neal Shusterman, New York Times best-selling author of the Arc of a Scythe trilogy The international bestseller and masterpiece of science fiction As a world-ending war surges to life around them, Todd and Viola face unspeakably vast consequences of each action, each word, each monstrous decision. The indigenous Spackle are mobilizing to avenge their murdered kin, ruthless human leaders are defending their factions, and a convoy of new settlers is approaching.

Rezensionen

My god, there is so much to love about the remarkable Patrick Ness! Where to begin? His beautiful prose? That electrifying originality? Those multifaceted, real-to-the-bone characters? How about the way he explores the messy complexities of the human experience in stories that make us feel seen and known and also forgiven? Above all, there is this: Patrick's deep, ferocious respect for young readers. He believes they can change the world, and it comes through in every single word. #1 NYT Bestselling author Libba Bray
