I'm not entirely sure how to describe this book. It is truly an original work of art. It contained fascinating, multi-dimensional characters who constantly surprised me. It was well paced, and hard to put down. The story itself was both horrific and wonderful at the same time. I look forward to reading more from this author! "The Library on Mount Char" by Scott Hawkins is a literary rollercoaster that defies conventional storytelling. From the first page, Hawkins immerses readers in a world that's both bizarre and captivating. The narrative weaves through a labyrinth of twists and turns, leaving you constantly on the edge of your seat, unsure of what will happen next. The characters, each with their unique quirks and mysteries, add layers to the story, making it a truly unforgettable experience. What makes this book stand out is Hawkins' ability to blend fantasy, horror, and humor seamlessly. The unconventional nature of the plot might make you question how it all fits together, but somehow, it does, creating a narrative tapestry that's both intricate and satisfying. The author's imaginative prowess is on full display, turning what could have been a chaotic mess into a brilliantly orchestrated symphony of weirdness. "The Library on Mount Char" is not a book that fits neatly into a specific genre—it's a genre of its own. Hawkins has crafted a tale that challenges expectations, and while it might not be for everyone, those who appreciate a wild and unpredictable journey will find themselves thoroughly engrossed in this peculiar and enthralling literary adventure. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
Prix et récompensesDistinctionsListes notables
"Wholly original . . . the work of the newest major talent in fantasy."--The Wall Street Journal "Freakishly compelling . . . through heart-thumping acts of violence and laugh-out-loud moments, this book practically dares you to keep reading."--Atlanta Magazine A missing God. A library with the secrets to the universe. A woman too busy to notice her heart slipping away. Carolyn's not so different from the other people around her. She likes guacamole and cigarettes and steak. She knows how to use a phone. Clothes are a bit tricky, but everyone says nice things about her outfit with the Christmas sweater over the gold bicycle shorts. After all, she was a normal American herself once. That was a long time ago, of course. Before her parents died. Before she and the others were taken in by the man they called Father. In the years since then, Carolyn hasn't had a chance to get out much. Instead, she and her adopted siblings have been raised according to Father's ancient customs. They've studied the books in his Library and learned some of the secrets of his power. And sometimes, they've wondered if their cruel tutor might secretly be God. Now, Father is missing--perhaps even dead--and the Library that holds his secrets stands unguarded. And with it, control over all of creation. As Carolyn gathers the tools she needs for the battle to come, fierce competitors for this prize align against her, all of them with powers that far exceed her own. But Carolyn has accounted for this. And Carolyn has a plan. The only trouble is that in the war to make a new God, she's forgotten to protect the things that make her human. Populated by an unforgettable cast of characters and propelled by a plot that will shock you again and again, The Library at Mount Char is at once horrifying and hilarious, mind-blowingly alien and heartbreakingly human, sweepingly visionary and nail-bitingly thrilling--and signals the arrival of a major new voice in fantasy. Praise for The Library at Mount Char An engrossing fantasy world full of supernatural beings and gruesome consequences."--Boston Globe "Vivid . . . the dialogue sings . . . you'll spend equal time shuddering and chortling."--Dallas Morning News" Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |

Imagine an even more f*cked up version of umbrella academy and multiply that by a trillion.
This book has ALL the trigger warnings. But the story is so insane it’s mind blowing.
You have a bunch of kidnapped children turned into godly librarians under the control of a terrifying Father. Until one day, one child gets their revenge.
I need to read a kids magazine about kittens to bleach my brain after this.
