![]() ![]() ![]() There are a lot of characters!īy the time we get to the second half I was getting into the rhythm of who was who and what events were important to them which meant I got a better handle on the narrative and could finally allow myself to be immersed in the story. I found this extremely hard to get into, mainly because each chapter in the first half is told from the perspective of a new character, so each chapter we have to learn who that character is and what their relationship to the world around is. My Thoughts: Based on the description and the cover I should have loved this book, but while I still love the cover the book is a different story. Ilmar, some say, is the worst place in the world and the gateway to a thousand worse places. ![]() What will be the spark that lights the conflagration?ĭespite 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. 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. Synopsis from Goodreads: There has always been a darkness to Ilmar, but never more so than now. Two word review – gorgeous cover (make of that what you will) This ARC was provided by Head of Zeus (via NetGalley) in exchange for an honest review. ![]() City of Last Chances by Adrian Tchaikovsky ![]()
