Review: Dead Weight by Hildur Knútsdóttir

★★★★☆ Review: First, I would like to thank Macmillan Audio for providing me with a free advanced listener copy of this audiobook. This is my honest review. Feminine rage and retribution Having read and enjoyed The Night Guest , I was eager to get a copy of Hildur Knútsdóttir's latest English translation! Unnur lives alone until the Cat Distribution System deposits a black cat in her home. Despite finding the cat's owner, the cat keeps returning, and now Unnur must begrudgingly accept that Ásta and her cat will be a regular installment in her home.

BLURB:


If Merouac ever thought his life’s work would culminate in leading the metal workshops of the Transcontinental Railroad Project, he was sorely mistaken.  


Now, his true challenge lies in navigating the other-worldly abilities he’s only beginning to understand—abilities that allow him to tune metal to interdimensional frequencies.


While trying to be a guardian to his niece, Evra, he’s realising she may have more to teach him than he ever expected. At the same time, his decision to help an interdimensional race find refuge underground puts him at the centre of an even deeper mystery.


As reality reshapes itself around him, Merouac faces a growing realisation: the world of Ahm is on the brink of a profound transformation, and everything he thought he knew may soon be shattered.

EXCERPT:


‘Well, yes,’ said Asta, reaching for the larg urn of water in the centre of the makeshift table. ‘Oh, thank you, Merouac,’ she smiled when he lifted the urn and poured water into her wooden cup for her. ‘Planets are living things. They have their own journeys to take as well. The shield is fading because Ahm is shedding its own protective layer.’  


‘And once the shield has completely gone?’  


‘Then Ahm will be part of the Broadsphere,’ confirmed Asta in a matter-of-fact way. ‘As we are here. And all lines of communication will be open.’
