A boy has lived his whole life trapped within a vast library, older than empires and larger than cities.
A girl has spent hers in a tiny settlement out on the Dust where nightmares stalk and no one goes.
The world has never even noticed them. That's about to change.
Their stories spiral around each other, across worlds and time. This is a tale of truth and lies and hearts, and the blurring of one into another. A journey on which knowledge erodes certainty, and on which, though the pen may be mightier than the sword, blood will be spilled and cities burned.
Auf YouTube hochgelobt, hat mich "The Book That Wouldn't Burn" auch thematisch direkt abgeholt. Lawrence erzählt eine vielschichtige Geschichte vor dem Hintergrund einer äußerst spannenden Welt. Mehrere Twists lassen sie Geschehnisse immer wieder in neuem Licht erscheinen. Sie könnten teilweise aber etwas expliziter gemacht werden.
I really enjoyed this book. I didn't really know what to expect going into it and I ended up loving it. The plot is relatively complex and there's time travel and stuff but it pays off. Can't wait to read the sequels when they are released.
