Beschreibung

From Hugo award-winning, and New York Times bestselling co-author of the Expanse, Daniel Abraham, Age of Ash is the first book in an epic fantasy trilogy that unfolds within the walls of a single great city where every story matters —and the fate of the city is woven from them all.

“An atmospheric and fascinating tapestry, woven with skill and patience.” – Joe Abercrombie, New York Times bestselling author of A Little Hatred

Kithamar is a center of trade and wealth, an ancient city with a long, bloody history where countless thousands live and their stories unfold.

This is Alys's.

When her brother is murdered, a petty thief from the slums of Longhill sets out to discover who killed him and why. But the more she discovers about him, the more she learns about herself, and the truths she finds are more dangerous than knives.

Swept up in an intrigue as deep as the roots of Kithamar, where the secrets of the lowest born can sometimes topple thrones, the story Alys chooses will have the power to change everything.

"An outstanding series debut, which instantly hooks readers with Paul mysteries . . . Readers will eagerly anticipate the sequel." – Publishers Weekly (starred review)

Reasons I picked up this book: - the cover I can't help it, I do really care about them and do rather pick a book with a stunning one. - the author I have 'the expanse' for soo long on my tbr pile, and just found out that Daniel Abraham is the co-author, but I wasn't in a sci-fi mood and so I rather chose this book to dive into his prose and writing. - it's new and has not a hype (not yet) I watch, follow and read a lot of booktubers and bookstagramers and thus a lot of books get the "must read-stamp" which can sometimes mislead and build a hype which some Books cannot handle for my taste. Therefore reading this book without having a kind of pressure felt really fresh and sober (this may sound weird but I kind of give a lot on other opinions. wish I could mute it) - This book was fun and a fast read and again I did not read the blurb which let me dive into a unknown world with characters and a plot I really had no clue about and wow! that was a wild ride into such an amazing city. And this is the strength of this book and Abrahams writing: his worldbuilding. You really run along the streets of kithamar. Another thing which really stood out was that we have no romance and barely action/fighting scenes, which I really really really liked because I cannot stand these scenes any more. If there need to be any, just write "they fought and our maincharacter won." and "they made love and our maincharacter won." I'll handle the rest.
