Recenzii
"The Flux" is the best kind of sequel: bigger, deeper, scarier, funner. The emotional journey it takes the reader on is just as thrilling as the jaw-dropping wonders of videogamemancy and bureaucramancy. With the 'Mancer series, Ferrett Steinmetz has achieved something rare in contemporary fantasy: a world that feels both truer and more magical than our own.
-- Ken Liu, winner of the Nebula, Hugo, and World Fantasy Awards and author of the "The Grace of Kings"and" The Paper Menagerie and Other Stories."
I really, really liked the uniqueness of the world of magic Steinmetz has created with his novels. It s very well thought out, and structured.It was exciting to see how someone obsessed with video games would see the world, and its rules, through the use of mancy.I also enjoyed the addition of such human dynamics between all of the characters.Steinmetz has done a wonderful job of blending superb battles between the mancers and mundanes, with heart wrenching moments with Paul and his eight-year-old daughter Aliyah, while still walking the tightrope of creating a story about family, good vs evil, and trust.

I give"The Flux"a score of 9.5/10. This is a great novel that like with"Flex"I would strongly recommend to anyone who has any interest at all in Urban Fantasy as a genre, and even to people who ve never read the genre before and might be interested in giving it a go; the Mancer series would be a fantastic introduction for you. This book makes Ferrett Steinmetz a name to watch.
