![]() One of the main things I loved about the previous two books in this series was Colton. Unfortunately, Firestarter ended up falling a little bit flat for me. Timekeeper is one of my absolute favourite books of all time, and I thought its sequel, Chainbreaker, did a pretty good job of following that up. Walking the line between villainy and heroism, each will have to choose what’s most important: saving those you love at the expense of the many, or making impossible sacrifices for the sake of a better world. No matter where the Prometheus goes-Prague, Austria, India-nowhere is safe, and every second ticks closer toward the eleventh hour. But Zavier, leader of the terrorists, has a bigger plan-to bring back the lost god of time.Īs new threats emerge, loyalties must shift.

Personajele sunt tinere, adolescente ce sunt la rascrucea celor 18-19 ani exact in momentele cruciale ale deciziilor ce le vor construi calea vietii. Este scrisa intr-o engleza „usoara”, parca extrasa din tipologia comediilor romantice gen „Friends”. Autoarea scrie la persoana intai din prisma ambelor personaje, ceea ce mie mi s-a parut putin greoi de citit, chiar daca cred ca s-a dorit o intelegere mai buna a caracterelor si a evolutei personajelor pe parcursul naratiunii.
