All three books were fantastic and tight, but this one felt absolutely gorgeous. I can't say that about most books, urban fantasy or otherwise, but I can with this one. It had the perfect joy of ups and downs, subtle magics and a mind-blowing over the top epic space monster battle. It had enemies turning into friends. It had the struggle of ultimate evil in a woman's heart. This might have been the last of the hugo nominees for the year that I've read, but I have to admit to myself that it was probably the very best of them. That's a tough call for me. I really enjoyed the others a lot. There wasn't a choice that I didn't enjoy. I was even a little biased against this one because I had read a few of this author's MHI books, and while they were quite fun and interesting, they didn't have near the same polish as this series. All three books belong together, but I suppose people could read this one out of sequence without too much difficulty, but they run the risk of not enjoying the characters quite as much. This was a very fine book. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

HTML: Gritty urban fantasy adventure set in an alternate noir 1930s, Book Three in the Grimnoir chronicles. Only a handful of people in the world know that mankind's magic comes from a living creature, and it is a refugee from another universe. The Power showed up here in the 1850s because it was running from something. Now it is 1933, and the Power's hiding place has been discovered by a killer. It is a predator that eats magic and leaves destroyed worlds in its wake. Earth is next. Former private eye, Jake Sullivan, knows the score. The problem is hardly anyone believes him. The world's most capable Active, Faye Vierra, could back him up, but she is hiding from the forces that think she is too dangerous to let live. So Jake has put together a ragtag crew of airship pirates and Grimnoir knights, and set out on a suicide mission to stop the predator before it is too late. At the publisher's request, this title is sold without DRM (Digital Rights Management). .Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |

In [b:Spellbound|10822283|Spellbound (Grimnoir Chronicles, #2)|Larry Correia|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1313446621s/10822283.jpg|15736027], things took a turn for the powerful as we learned more about what the Power was and just how crazy a Spellbound could be.
[b:Warbound|16130317|Warbound (Grimnoir Chronicles, #3)|Larry Correia|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1359402972s/16130317.jpg|21955621] ramps it up another level, with the rise of a false Chairman, and the Enemy's Pathfinder bringing war to Actives all over the Earth. It's a well deserved and well written conclusion to the story.
The worldbuilding is just as interesting as it ever was, especially now that we see a lot more about how the Power and its magic actually work--particularly as we see how the rules we thought we knew can be bent and broken.
The characters are great as well. The relationship/counterpoint between ex(ish) Iron Guard Toru Tokugawa and Jake Sullivan is pretty great, especially their final confrontation in the epilogue. Faye is a wonderful, crazy girl with just the right combination of innocence, spunk, and flat out power. All of the other Grimnoir and pirates and Iron Guard? Great.
About the worst I can say for the conclusion is it seems to end too quickly. I wish I could have spent just a little while longer in the world. Perhaps the short stories?
Overall, one of the better series I've read in a long time. Give it a read. ( )
