We're loving this early review for ONE WORLD (The Iamos Trilogy, Book 3):

"Readers looking for queer-inclusive, asexual-led SFF will not be disappointed, nor will anyone simply looking for a great story." - RoAnna Sylver, author of CHAMELEON MOON

ONE WORLD releases one month from today! You can binge read the whole series now to get ready for the publication of the last book: https://www.snowywingspublishing.com/book-series/the-iamos-trilogy/

@lgbtqbookstodon @diversebooks #Bookstodon #QueerScifi #Asexual #Demisexual #YoungAdult

"A triumphant finale to a sweeping, emotional series. ONE WORLD combines high space-operatic revolutionary drama with wonderfully realized characters, all of whom feel alive, with their needs, fears, and driving goals ringing so true. Readers looking for queer-inclusive, asexual-led SFF will not be disappointed, nor will anyone simply looking for a great story." - RoAnna Sylver, author of CHAMELEON MOON

Nie spodziewałem się za wiele rozpoczynając lekturę i może dlatego ta książka kopnęła mnie między oczy - to topka powieści, które czytałem w tym roku (a przeczytałem więcej niż jedną).

Co prawda, im dalej w las, tym bardziej czuć, że to jednak "młodzieżówka", ale tutaj nie należy tym się kierować - to futurystyczna fantastyka, lekko cyberpunkowa, która nie tylko dostarcza fajną historię, ale też pokazuje, do czego ludzkość może doprowadzić eliminując choroby, wprowadzając wszechwładne AI (które jest tutaj pokazane nawet w pozytywny sposób) i mając pełnię władzy. Polecam gorąco, bo zaskoczeń też jest tutaj sporo.

Its fascinating to know this conversation has been happening for a long time in the #yafiction world.

I decided to switch from #youngadult to #newadult do to the switch from pure Cyberpunk to one blending #GothicFiction

But my biggest issue with YA is YA trends and publishing waves.

Piękny przykład, jak bardzo dobra seria YA może stracić na kiepskiej części, będącej w dodatku finałem. Śmiało mogę powiedzieć o tym, że to "fantastyka z szablonu" i tak miałkiej oraz przewidywalnej fabuły dawno nie czytałem. Tak się zdenerwowałem, że bigosu nie nadążam gotować, aby się uspokoić.

Jedyny plus jest taki, że nie będzie (mam nadzieję) czwartej części, bo mogłaby być gorsza i jeszcze bardziej zatrzeć dobre wrażenie po 1. i 2. tomie. No i nie powiem - cała seria (która jest ogólnie dobra, wręcz bardzo dobra) to dobry prezent z gatunku fantastyki młodzieżowej dla np. 15-latka. Ale jeśli jesteście starsi, to tej młodzieżowości może być tutaj za dużo.

Moim zdaniem najsłabsza część serii, ale nadal świetna i nadal podtrzymuję zdanie, że to jedna z najfajniejszych trylogii fantasy, jakie kiedykolwiek czytałem. Tak, jestem dziecinny.

Jednocześnie mam wątpliwości, czy to faktycznie pozycja dla młodzieży - jeśli już, to dla starszej. A autor chyba trochę za dużo naczytał się erotyków i stwierdził "pa teraz!". Kristoff, kuźwa - gdybym chciał poczytać całe rozdziały o łóżkowych igraszkach, to bym kupił inne, nomen omen, pozycje.

Poza tym to, co zawsze - dużo przesady, humoru, krwi, brutalności, zwrotów akcji, a tutaj dodatkowo finał, który bardzo mocno kojarzy mi się z Sandersonem. Niestety, akurat w tym przypadku nie jest to dobre skojarzenie. Ale i tak polecam.

#VendrediLecture J'attaque le tome 1 du Monde des premiers de Lucie Thomasson, parce que j'avais envie de retrouver un peu de littérature francophone et que j'avais trouvé l'autrice très sympa en salon.
Pour le moment c'est plutôt une déception pourtant... Je trouve énormément de problèmes de cohérence et de profondeur, que ce soit dans la construction des personnages ou de leur monde. Ça fait carton pâte et j'arrive pas du tout à y croire.
Au moins ça se lit vite, on va voir si l'intrigue finit par m'accrocher...

#MastoLivre #Fantasy #YoungAdult #TomeUnique #LaLoiDuSanctuaire

Seize mois après la parution de mon roman La Loi du Sanctuaire, il était plus que temps d'épingler un post de présentation pour les curieux… Voici donc chose faite !

Et pour encore plus d'informations, c'est par ici : https://elodiebouchet.fr/la-loi-du-sanctuaire/

« De quoi ça parle ? » est écrit au-dessus de la couverture du roman La Loi du Sanctuaire, d'Élodie Bouchet, dans la collection Electrogène des éditions Gulf Stream. La couverture représente un parchemin roulé fermé d'un sceau représentant un dragon, au-dessus d'une carte d'un monde de fantasy.
Trois flèches pointent du roman vers les textes : « Tome unique », « Young adult » et « Fantasy médiévale ».

Le Sanctuaire de Sarano est intouchable. En vendant des prophéties aux puissants de tous les horizons, la supérieure Tinavia impose inéluctablement son influence. Alors quand Élyne, une oracle, apprend qu’elle a été manipulée et exploitée pour ses dons, elle n’a d’autres choix que de disparaître.
Sous la protection inattendue de dragons, elle fuit jusqu’au campement du lieutenant Darel, qu’elle convainc de la perversité de Tinavia. Problème : le jeune homme dispose de pouvoirs magiques annihilant le potentiel prophétique de l’oracle…
Au mépris du danger, les deux jeunes gens enquêtent sur les manigances du Sanctuaire. La vérité est en mesure de bouleverser le cours de la guerre des royaumes, mais exposer des preuves pourrait bien leur coûter la vie.

À lire pour découvrir :
* Une romance qui prend son temps (illustration de deux cœurs entrecroisés).
* Une magie liée aux prophéties (illustration de petites étoiles).
* Les reptiles les plus mignons qui soient (illustration d'un serpent et d'un dragon).
* Une quête de vérité haletante (illustration de deux livres, dont un ouvert).
* Une société où hommes et femmes sont égaux (illustration des symboles homme et femme entrecroisés).

Mais vous n'y trouverez pas :
