Mit meinem Book Haul aus der 14. und 15. Woche des Jahres bin ich soweit zufrieden, weil es alles tolle Bücher zu sein scheinen, auch wenn keins davon geplant war einziehen zu lassen. Mir war nur bewusst, dass mein Illumicrate Buch kommen würde.
Silver Elite, Fairest und God of Malice waren Impulskäufe, weil ich die Buchhandlung betreten habe. Großer, großer Fehler. 😂
Dazu muss ich allerdings sagen, dass ich die Bücher von Dani Francis und Rina Kent mit auf meiner Jahres TBR-Liste stehen habe und so somit sehr wahrscheinlich auch so irgendwann in diesem Jahr eingezogen wären.
Goldfinch stand auch schon länger auf meiner WuLi und nun kann ich auch mit der Reihe endlich weitermachen bzw. den ersten Band noch einmal lesen, um dann in der Geschichte fortzufahren. Wer weiß, vielleicht habe ich am Ende des Jahres die komplette Reihe auf meiner Serial-Killer Challenge und damit ordentlich Punkte erlesen. 😉
Aicha war eine tolle Überraschung, als ich das Päckchen von Illumicrate geöffnet hatte. Hier bin ich sehr gespannt, da ich bisher noch keine Berührungspunkte mit marrokanischer Mythologie gemacht habe.
Und zu guter Letzt durften noch The Will of the Many und The Strength of the Few einziehen.

The Catenan Republic—the Hierarchy—may rule the world now, but they do not know everything.
I tell them my name is Vis Telimus. I tell them I was orphaned after a tragic accident three years ago, and that good fortune alone has led to my acceptance into their most prestigious school. I tell them that once I graduate, I will gladly join the rest of civilized society in allowing my strength, my drive, and my focus—what they call Will—to be leeched away and added to the power of those above me, as millions already do. As all must eventually do.
I tell them that I belong, and they believe me.
But the truth is that I have been sent to the Academy to find answers. To solve a murder. To search for an ancient weapon. To uncover secrets that may tear the Republic apart.
And that I will never, ever cede my Will to the empire that executed my family.
To survive though, I will still have to rise through the Academy’s ranks. I will have to smile, and make friends, and pretend to be one of them, and win. Because if I cannot, then those who want to control me, who know my real name, will no longer have any use for me.
And if the Hierarchy finds out who I truly am, they will kill me.

OMNE TRIUM PERFECTUM.
The Hierarchy still call me Vis Telimus. Still hail me as Catenicus. They still, as one, believe they know who I am.
But with all that has happened—with what I fear is coming—I am not sure it matters anymore.
I am no longer one. I won the Iudicium, and lost everything—and now, impossibly, the ancient device beyond the Labyrinth has replicated me across three separate worlds. A different version of myself in each of Obiteum, Luceum, and Res. Three different bodies, three different lives. I have to hide; fight; play politics. I have to train; trust; lie. I have to kill; heal; prove myself again, and again, and again.
I am loved, and hated, and entirely alone.
Above all, though, I need to find answers before it’s too late. To understand the nature of what has happened to me, and why.
I need to find a way to stop the coming Cataclysm, because if all I have learned is true, I may be the only one who can.
