I requested this arc because I was attracted by the stellar cast of authors and I think it's one of the best I read in a long time.
Even if there's a common thread, a cursed watch, all the novels features different characters, most of them from other works of these authors.
They are all gripping, well written and highly entertaining.
I'm happy I discovered new authors and learned something more about characters I love.
It's strongly recommended.

I can't say I was hooked since the first pages because I struggled at the beginning. I persevered and loved this dark, enthralling and well written story.
Great character development and world building, a good plot and storytelling.
I want to read other books by this author.

I don’t know if this is a dystopia technological thriller or a fictionalise depiction of the world we’re living in, I just know it’s a very interesting and quite terrifying story. It’s hard to read and think “this is fiction” and assume you are reading about a parallel world where technology is used as a mean to control people behaviour and to repress dissent.
I work in high tech and I know what are the technologies being developed or already existing. All the technologies in this book are already existing and some cases when they were used to control political opponents appeared on papers in recent times.
But this is also the story of Masha, of her friend and of hope that comes from people joining forces and fighting for a better world.
Masha isn’t a likeable character and I found hard to warm up to her. She works for security companies that use the technology to monitor people. She’s an excellent technician but she’s also a damage person who must compartmentalize her life in order to survive.
I met some people like her, people who work to develop technologies that can be in a moral grey area. It’s not hard to see how they are considering their activities as business as usual and avoiding to reflect on the moral implication.
Even if I think it’s a bit unreal that a highly specialised tech guy have a Damascus moment and decides to take side with the good guy it was also a moment I loved because it was hope in quite bleak story.
There are good guys and there are bad guys in this story. At the end of the day all the main characters are women. They are brave and they fight and even Masha, who is morally grey, is able to change and grow.
The technical aspect is interesting and Doctorow did an excellent job in explaining the different technologies and helping people to understand what are the implications and how they can be used.
The plot is quite gripping even if it drags sometimes. It’s not heartwarming and I’m still quite terrified by what I read. I’m a bit paranoid about connected devices and this story did affected me as it made me wish to go back to a very simple phone with no internet connection.
There’s hope at the end to this story but there’s also the message that the power can affect the persons and the road to hell is paved with good intentions.
I don’t know if my review is logical or what else, I just know that this book should be read by a lot of persons as we need to know how technologies can be used to manipulate and control us.
I strongly recommend it because, even if it’s not a perfect book, it’s important to know.

It’s great to back to Elantra and I’m happy to start a new series.
Severn is a fascinating character, the silent type you can surely rely on. His affection for Kaylin/Elianne is an important part of the series and we get to know him as MC in this new series. I loved this character, an old soul full of mysteries, a strong willed man likable and interesting.
I found this book highly entertaining and gripping. There’s a lot of character development and an further development of the already impressive world building.
The plot is a mix of fantasy and mystery and the two genres work well together as we get to know about the Wolves and how they work.
I loved the Tha’alani and their shared mind. I think they are great characters and I liked their lore and way of living.
I was also happy to get to know about the Wolves, their member and how they work.r
As this is the first book in a series it’s not necessary to have read the Chronicles of Elantra even if it could help to better understand the world and the magic system.
It was an excellent read and I can’t wait to read the next installment.
Highly recommended.

A good fantasy according to my heart: it’s action packed, fast paced, full of twists and turns and gripping. I think there’s a lot of potential and it could become one of my favorite fantasy series.
I liked this story since the first pages and was fascinated by the very complex world building and the plot that kept me hooked.
It’s a classic epic fantasy, well written, full of drama and secret. You want to turn pages as fast as you can because you don’t what’s going to happen.
The world building is amazing and very complex. I want to learn more about the ancient civilizations and I was fascinating by the magic system and the belief system.
Some of the characters are a bit flat and need some more character development. I loved the female characters as they are strong willed, complex and well written.
As the book end with a cliff hanger I can’t wait to read the next instalment.
This one was highly entertaining and I recommend it.

I love this series and I was happy to meet again Kit and the cast of characters.
I missed Evie and the York setting but I thoroughly enjoyed the story, full of twists and turns, that kept me hooked.
The plot is tightly knitted and the solid mystery kept me guessing till the end with an unexpected solution.
I liked the humour and I liked the characters even if Grace is not amongst my favorite.
It's a highly entertaining and fun read that made me smile.
It's recommended.
