The Winter (Isaac the Fortunate, #1)
by A. Ka (Author, Illustrator)
I loved this book. A.Ka’s prose is spectacular. She creates a setting in medieval Spain is rich and full of life and death. Both the idea and the created reality (in the book) of the plague known as the Delirium is truly terrifying.
The time-travel is treated with intelligence and has a few hints about what is coming further in the series.
The characters are deep and well written. Isaac who is the narrator and Beltran the protagonist are sympathetic in different ways, but I don’t want to give away too much. As this is the first book in a six-part series, there are plenty of mysteries to unfold as of yet. I can’t wait for the rest.
PS A. Ka also did the cover and illustrations and they are absolutely gorgeous.
