Tid är pengar och de rika kan alltid skaffa mer. De fattiga får jobba för att klara sig och kan sälja tid för att ha råd med mat. Det låter spännande, men det händer inte så mycket förrän på slutet. Jag skulle önska att författare slutar skriva trilogier och istället skriver bra böcker från början till slut. Får se om jag orkar läsa del 2, Evermore, någon gång. Just nu finns det mycket annat som jag vill läsa.

"In the kingdom of
Sempera, time is currency—extracted from blood, bound to iron, and
consumed to add time to one’s own lifespan. The rich aristocracy, like
the Gerlings, tax the poor to the hilt, extending their own lives by
centuries.
No one resents the Gerlings more than Jules Ember. A
decade ago, she and her father were servants at Everless, the Gerlings’
palatial estate, until a fateful accident forced them to flee in the
dead of night. When Jules discovers that her father is dying, she knows
that she must return to Everless to earn more time for him before she
loses him forever.
But going back to Everless brings more
danger—and temptation—than Jules could have ever imagined. Soon she’s
caught in a tangle of violent secrets and finds her heart torn between
two people she thought she’d never see again. Her decisions have the
power to change her fate—and the fate of time itself."
