Transformer

by Philip Gross

Alia's changing. She's losing her soft edges, becoming sharper, fiercer, more intense. Her singing is different, too; it comes from somewhere thrilling, dark and cold. The new Alia seems possessed of a strange power. Emod has glimpsed it, and he's scared...

Because it's as if something is controlling her, something destructive and frightening. It's eating her up from the inside, hollowing her out, and if it isn't stopped, Alia will be transformed for ever...

Just so bizarrely written. Felt like I never had a hold of anything that was happening and not in a fun trippy way, more in a weak Candyman/Clive Barker kind of way.

Plus an extra point for some asexual rep I guess.

Mah. Gawd. Qué viaje este libro. Este es el que mencioné en mi review de Dead Ringer, y se llama Impacto (también de Zona Límite).

Siempre que leo un libro, me suelo fragmentar para entender mejor a los personajes. Alia y sus ganas de brillar, los celos de Dee, la preocupación del muchacho que relata la historia (que no me acuerdo el nombre atm). Hugo es terrible personaje, desde un principio te das cuenta que no es un hombre muy común, con un fin tan bondadoso como dice. Se lee muy rápido este librillo, y supongo que lo recomendaría a gente que le gusta toda esta cuestión sobrenatural de adquirir poder.

Your choice.
