I didn’t realize this was part of a trilogy. I listened to the German audiobook. The reader who did Eva was very monotonous. Possibly on purpose. I really didn’t like Eva or Karin - both seemed slightly or not so slightly on the spectrum.
I did like the end. Not really tempted to read the first 2 books though.

I really like the idea behind this series and I wish there were more climate-dystopia novels. Unfortunately I really don't liked the main characters and that in combination with a very sad future just meant that this was a very depressing read for me, that unfortunately I did not enjoy as much as I wished.

La première moitié commençait bien, alternant chapitres sur Eva, dans la Norvège de 2060, sur Mikhail, dans la Russie/Mongolie de la fin des années 1880, et sur Karin, dans la Mongolie de 1992- ça se lisait très rapidement, c'était plaisant, ça parlait chevaux et relations humaines.
Et puis vient la seconde partie, où on se rend compte que les romances qu'on redoutait arrivent bel et bien et sont assez mal écrites, que les cheveux sont relégués au second plan pour ne parler que relations humaines téléphonées, et que surtout aucun réel lien ne sera jamais fait entre ces 3 tranches de vie. Tranches de vie qui au final ne nous font en fait ni chaud ni froid.
Comme souvent avec les livres écrits rapidement (un volume de cette tétralogie sort tous les 2 ans), c'est juste trop long, et le propos est complètement noyé dans des sentiments dont on n'a cure. Dommage, c'était presque une parfaite lecture détente !

Har läst hela trilogin och tyckte bäst om Binas historia. Böckerna har samma upplägg - olika historier från olika tidsåldrar som flätas samman, mer eller mindre. I just denna bok så tycker jag inte att det tillför så mycket. Det som berörde mig mest var historien om Karin och Mathias. Samtidigt så tyckte jag författaren upprepade samma mantra gång på gång - för långa kramar som Karin lirkade sig ur. Tror det nämndes minst fem sex ggr och då blir det övertydligt. Även om jag på ett sätt tyckte om boken så fick jag ändå typ övertala mig att läsa klart den.

Kanske har med ämnet att göra men den här tycker jag är den bästa hittills.
