Мир Ехо и приключения Макса
Гнезда химер. Хроники Оветганны
Всякая история, рассказанная дважды (скажем, утром и вечером, или в начале весны и в конце осени, или вслух и на бумаге), — это уже две разных истории. И если уж всякому человеку позволено иметь двойников — зазеркального, и того, что смотрит за нас наши сны, почему бы не иметь таких двойников книге, написанной наяву, о событиях, случившихся во сне.
Вышло так, что история о Гнездах Химер была рассказана дважды, по числу волшебных ветров Хоманы, отравивших кровь рассказчика.
Вам досталась история, рассказвнная ночью, когда приходит время ветра по имени Овётганна; история, записанная белым мелом на черной доске. Так уж вам повезло.

С трудом продираешься через текст в начале и не можешь оторваться от чтения в конце

To begin with, there are two versions to this book - the Ovetganna one and the Khugayda one.
I remember enjoying this book from the second reading only. First time I read it I was struggling to accept the new format of story, the freer style of narration, compared to that of Echo series. This book is detached from any series. Although the protagonist is the same, he behaves slightly differently and hardly he gives any links to his Echo existence.
I know what this novel reminds me of - it's Alice in Wonderland. Alice (in this case Max) gets into another world, an incredibly ridiculous one. There she/he starts the journey from one crazy character or place to another, searching for the way back home. The Caterpillar, then the Hatter and the alchemists, then the pirates...
This is fun! Especially if we remember that 10 years after that Max Frei has written a Pinocchio type of story as well. Now that I think of it, he might have already written a Wizard of Oz type of story...

Не помню как я это осилила в первый раз.
Мир не мой, история тоже явно не по мне. Meh
