Crucible Zero (House Immortal #3)
by Devon Monk
What is it about:
Matilda Case never thought of herself as a hero. But because she is galvanized—and nearly immortal in her stitched, endlessly healing body—she doesn’t have much of a choice. Even if she doesn’t want to save the world, she’s the only one capable of traveling in time to do so.
But her rescue attempt hasn’t gone as planned. She’s stuck in an alternate universe, and her world is in danger of disappearing. Worst of all, an unfathomably powerful man who can also travel through history doesn’t want her to put things to rights. He’s willing to wage bloody war to stop Matilda, unless she surrenders control of time to him.
Now, with the minutes ticking, Matilda must make impossible decisions, knowing that one wrong choice will destroy her—and any chance of saving everything she loves...
What did I think of it:
I will confess I was a bit worried about this last book, as Matilda end up in an alternate universe/timeline at the end of book 2. I love time travel, but often stupid mistakes are made.
Luckily Monk does it mostly right. I could believe in events as they unfolded.
I did think Matilda was a bit quick in giving up her own universe/timeline, but Monk soon had me rooting for everyone in the new universe.
All in all this is a cool ending to this trilogy and it will end up on my keeper shelves.
Why should you read it:
It's a really cool Urban Fantasy Read.
