Fantasy & SciFi
Arthur C. Clarke winner and Sunday Times bestseller Adrian Tchaikovsky's triumphant return to fantasy with a darkly inventive portrait of a city under occupation and on the verge of revolution. There has always been a darkness to Ilmar, but never more so than now. The city chafes under the heavy hand of the Palleseen occupation, the choke-hold of its criminal underworld, the boot of its factory owners, the weight of its wretched poor and the burden of its ancient curse. What will be the spark that lights the conflagration? Despite the city's refugees, wanderers, murderers, madmen, fanatics and thieves, the catalyst, as always, will be the Anchorwood – that dark grove of trees, that primeval remnant, that portal, when the moon is full, to strange and distant shores. Ilmar, some say, is the worst place in the world and the gateway to a thousand worse places. Ilmar, City of Long Shadows. City of Bad Decisions. City of Last Chances.

A story without a hero, all the characters are unlikable and very strange . The world the author builds is bleak and confusing. But there is still a beauty to the writing and thanks to the brilliance of the reader it was strangely fascinating.

En väldigt speciell bok, från en väldigt speciell författare.. Stort persongalleri, många trådar som rör sig kring varandra, lite svårt att hålla isär ibland. På sätt och vis lite som En dag I Ivan Denisovitjs liv, iochmed hur abrupt man kastas in i (och ut ur) historien. Som sagt, en speciell bok..
