Last Exit | Max Gladstone
1 post | 3 read | 3 to read
American Gods meets The Amber Chronicles in Max Gladstone's Last Exit: A hitchhiker wizard gathers her estranged friends to defend the world from her long lost loverand the monsters that return with her. Imagine that the American highway system is a vast magical network binding city to city. By soaking up magic from intentionally directionless travel, initiates can slip into alternate realities. Stray too far from our America, though, and things get weird. And dangerous. And terrifying. When visionary mathematician Zelda Qiang was in college, she learned how to travel from one alternate reality to another. Her response was to take her friends on a road trip to strange new worlds. Six of them set out. Only five returned. Zeldas lover, Sal, betrayed them: she walked into the jagssharp cutting shadows like cracks in spaceand didnt come back. Now Zelda still walks the road alone, a wandering magus keeping the jags from breaking through. But now Sal is coming backwith Dark Things in tow. At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

Pickpick

🎧 Zelda, Ish, Ramon, Sarah & Sal tried to save the world once & failed, losing Sal in the process.

Sal was Zelda‘s GF. Zelda spends the next 10 years beating herself up about it & fending off the darkness. The other 3 live their lives as normally as they can.

There‘s a lot of introspection & then a lot of action. It balances nicely. There‘s multiple time shifts & character points of view.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 👇🏻

Twainy Another chance to save the world & the band is back together. This is genre bending. Slow paced, action packed, science fiction, fantasy & a bit of horror.

Tune in for the prose & stay for the story! Nice narration. Great book that begs to be reread. Creative.
