Euh, bientôt en fait, dès que j'aurais terminé le tome 3 des Royaumes d'Epines et d'Os. ;)Mais je ne résiste pas à ouvrir dès maintenant un sujet, après avoir déjà parcouru quelques pages ! 

Mise à jour
La critique de Gillossen


Je sais que parmi nous, Pat l'a beaucoup apprécié, et j'ai aussi appris que la VF était d'ores et déjà prévue, chez Denoël, dans la collection Lunes d'Encre ! Ca vous donne déjà une idée du bouquin... ;)Plus très bientôt !From BooklistFollowing the trail of a family legend, Reynard Guy Carter finds The Book of All Hours, aka the Vellum, a blueprint for all creation written by the scribe of God after the word was spoken. Carter thereafter wanders the strange, deserted worlds of the Vellum, while angels and demons, the Covenant and the Sovereigns, battle for control of the order of everything. Within the Vellum, Phreedom Messenger is on a quest to find her brother that will lead her to the very depths of the underworld in a movement parallel to Innana's descent to the underworld of Ereshkigal; and Seamus Finnan, her brother's betrayer and an old friend, is, like Prometheus, bound for his sins. The paths the three characters follow become a scintillating web of journeys across worlds and through the three dimensions of time. Duncan's version of a battle among the messengers of divinity proves fascinating as it takes unexpected turns within the framework of ancient myths. Regina SchroederCopyright © American Library Association. All rights reserved Review“In Vellum–a monstrously brilliant and often hilarious novel of mad Irishmen, bad angels, femmes fatales, and demons–we are presented with the tale of a war occurring throughout the breadth and depth of time and space. Hal Duncan has, at the very least, created the Guernica of science fiction.”–Lucius Shepard, author of A Handbook of American Prayer“A mind-blowing read that’s genuinely unlike anything you’ve ever read before . . . Vellum has expanded fantasy’s limits like nothing published in years.”–SFX (five-star “must-read” review)“Duncan’s writing is fluent and powerful. He possesses an imagination capable of both conjuring worlds and capturing the intricacies of moments. Vellum is more than a novel; it’s a vision.”–Jeffrey Ford, author of The Girl in the Glass“A remarkably ambitious debut novel. For lovers of innovative fantasy, it’s a must-read.”–Interzone“Vellum is a revelation–the opening gambit in the career of a mind-blowing colossal talent whose impact will be felt for decades.”–Jeff VanderMeer, author of City of Saints and Madmen
