Críticas

"Teen, tween, and adult fans of futuristic YA adventure such as Suzanne Collins's The Hunger Games will devour this title, and parents whose children are reluctant readers will want to put this into their hands." - Library Journal, starred review

"This first volume in a new trilogy has much to offer genre enthusiasts." - Kirkus

"Below is post apocalyptic at its roots, but the nature of the world allows the introduction of tropes from fantasy, dystopia and science fiction, injecting much needed originality into this recently oversaturated genre." - CM Magazine

"Chabot should catch readers' imagination with his keen eye for characterizations and flow. [The] narrative draws readers along briskly, the worldbuilding tinged with details sampled from indigenous and fantasy cultures. This installment's open-ended mysteries should leave readers eager to see where it turns next." - Publishers Weekly

"With its inventive world-building and epic scope, Below hooked me from the very first lines and had me eagerly flipping the pages. But it's Chabot's unique and compelling characters from different worlds, especially Elia and Hokk, that pulled me through the story. I can't wait for the next installment. A great read for fans of YA, fantasy, or anyone looking for a fresh vision. Highly recommend!" - Jennifer Brody, author of The 13th Continuum

Reseña del editor

No one but the dead dare venture Below . . .

The first volume in this thrilling trilogy opens on the barren plains of Below, where Hokk and his fox sidekick, Nym, live in exile amid the remnants of our modern age.

Overhead, on the floating islands of Above, Elia is trapped in a life of endless toil and drudgery as a laundress for the Mirrored Palace. To Elia, the islands’ edges are borders that no one dares cross until the ancient ritual that delivers the dead to Below. But a series of natural disasters rumbling through Above sends Elia’s world crashing into Hokk’s—and she falls Below.

Their journey together will propel them across endless plains and through shattered cities in a centuries-old battle for the very earth and sky around them . . .
