Über diesen Titel
'One of our finest storytellers' Sarah Perry, author of The Essex Serpent
'Pure magic' M.R. Carey, author of The Girl With All the Gifts
From Frances Hardinge, the Costa Award-winning author of The Lie Tree comes Deeplight - an underwater adventure as dangerous as the gods themselves . . .
The gods of the Myriad were as real as the coastlines and currents, and as merciless as the winds and whirlpools. Then one day they rose up and tore each other apart, killing many hundreds of islanders and changing the Myriad forever.
On the jumbled streets of the Island of Lady's Crave live Hark and his best friend Jelt. They are scavengers: living off their wits, diving for relics of the gods, desperate for anything they can sell. But now there is something stirring beneath the waves, calling to someone brave enough to retrieve it. Something valuable. Something dangerous.
Nothing is quite as it seems, and when the waves try to claim Jelt, Hark will do anything to save him. Even if it means compromising not just who Jelt is, but what he is . . .
Kritikerstimmen
Hardinge leans too heavily on plot conveniences, allowing the protagonist to master impossibly complex tasks—like piloting a near-impossible submarine—simply because the story demands it. This kind of storytelling fosters the misleading notion that skill can be replaced by sheer willpower. Additionally, character motivations sometimes shift abruptly to serve the plot, as seen with the scientist character’s sudden and unearned change of heart.
The book's most intriguing concept—the mysterious deep-sea world infused with "liquid fear"—is largely underutilized. Instead of embracing the eerie physics of such an environment, Hardinge treats it as interchangeable with land, missing an opportunity to create something truly unique.
While the book has compelling elements, its reliance on contrived storytelling and missed worldbuilding potential left me more frustrated than immersed.
