“La plus grande force de ces chapitres est l'environnement. Quart City, avec son ciel gris-jaunâtre, l'odeur de fer dans l'air et cette ville blanche 'trop parfaite pour être humaine', crée un contraste très efficace avec la ferme de la famille de Jack. La Route de Transition est une idée géniale : en quelques lignes, elle montre le choc entre le naturel et l'artificiel sans avoir besoin d'explication. Alped et la PROTEAN agissent comme une satire mordante de la consommation aveugle et de la publicité, et les publicités criardes à la télévision ajoutent une tonalité sombre et ironique au monde. Le rythme est également bien trouvé. Le chapitre 1 présente la routine, la famille, l'école et le conflit sans précipitation, et se termine par toute la cantine regardant Jack pour 'avoir commis le crime de ne pas manger'. Le chapitre 2 élève le niveau avec le glitch dans Harvest World, et l'image de la vache aux yeux humains, combinée avec le fichier Lotus_001, est ce genre de révélation qui reste gravée dans l'esprit du lecteur. Le chapitre 3 livre le summum de l'horreur, avec le dîner chez Wallace, le steak qui pulse et la poursuite finale. La montée de la tension est bien construite, et les cliffhangers à la fin des chapitres donnent envie de continuer. Les personnages ont des identités claires. Jack est un protagoniste sympathique, avec le bon bagage émotionnel : les avertissements de ses parents, un estomac qui rejette la PROTEAN, et un ancien amour pour Lia. Wallace et Mike apportent de l'humour et de la légèreté, et la dynamique entre les trois semble naturelle. Lia est le point fort émotionnel : la leader courageuse qui défend Jack, la fille du patron qui rêve de devenir agricultrice et la fille qui se fane peu à peu. Ce mystère autour d'elle ajoute de la profondeur et aussi du poids dramatique. Le moment où elle secoue la tête, signalant 'NE MANGE PAS' par la fenêtre, est très fort. Enfin, le ton est cohérent : horreur corporative avec des touches d'humour adolescent. La scène des parents de Wallace, avec des sourires figés, des yeux qui ne clignent pas et une gentillesse qui se transforme en menace, est très bien exécutée et troublante. Ce trio de chapitres forme une excellente introduction, avec un monde distinct, des questions intrigantes (le sérum S-9, le projet Lotus, ce que fait réellement Alped) et une identité propre qui captive le lecteur.”

Lady Evangeline Greystone believes that attraction is just chemistry: dopamine and adrenaline. The daughter of a duke, a mathematician by training, and the owner of an entirely planned life, she spends a few days in Las Vegas, away from her family and the spotlight, when she meets in a dark bar a man with a dominant gaze who says no more than his first name. Four nights of sex, secrets, and anonymity later, each goes their own way, certain that it is over. A month later, two pink lines change everything. And he is not just a man with secrets: he is the crown prince of Azhar, and her baby is the future of a kingdom. Now there is a palace, a kingdom, and a single demand: marry. Not for love, but out of duty.
"The fire in the hearth never truly goes out. It merely waits for new firewood." Apparently abandoned, this old mansion harbors countless horrors, and those who dare to explore its secrets may discover that the greatest danger lurks not only between its walls, but also among themselves. Whether because they received a mysterious invitation, because a friend disappeared, or simply out of curiosity to explore the manor, everyone will eventually discover that, inside, nothing happens by chance — except, perhaps, the arrangement of the rooms. If they want to survive, they will need to pay attention to every detail and unravel the residence's greatest secret before it is too late. But one question remains: why, with each new visit, does the fire in the hearth seem to burn more intensely?
To horse lovers, here will be portrayed the love of its owner for a horse and the love of his horse for its owner, showing that when a horse's loyalty is earned, nothing can change that.
The world has ended. There is no future left on the outside, nor humanity waiting to be rescued. What exists is a reality preserved by the will of a single person who keeps the memory of the world and everything that remains of humanity. The problem is that not everyone agrees that this existence should continue... Eine, a survivor of the catastrophe that destroyed human reality, dedicates her existence to ending the last traces of the people who were once at the center of these events. But, being unable to interfere directly in a dream that still continues, she must find hosts among the people who inhabit it. Her new attempt is Claire Williams. At nineteen, Claire has very ordinary concerns: university, the debts she took on to study, and the future she believes she is building. Now, however, she shares her own consciousness with a young man who knows a reality she cannot accept. As the boundaries between memory and existence begin to dissolve, those who walk between the two extremes will have to confront a question for which there may be no right answer: when the world has already ended, what does it mean to keep living?

One is shelter, the other is storm. For even the gentlest calm holds a flame, and within the storm itself there is already a harbinger of tranquility - each heart carries within itself both the flame and the breeze that can extinguish it. Be careful not to lose yourself. The labyrinth is yours, and only you will find the way out.
