Ух ты. Это же 1-я часть цикла "The Rain Wild Chronicles", который продолжает большой цикл "Мир Элдерлингов" ("The Realm of the Elderlings"), начатый трилогиями "Сага о Видящих" ("The Farseer Trilogy"), "Сага о живых кораблях" ("The Liveship Traders") и "Сага о Шуте и Убийце" ("The Tawny Man Trilogy").
В сами "Хроники Дождевых чащоб" в настоящее время также входит роман "Dragon Haven" (2010). В феврале 2012 выйдет 3-я часть - "City of Dragons", а в феврале 2013 - 4-я, "Blood of Dragons".
События "The Rain Wild Chronicles" происходят параллельно и после описанных в "The Tawny Man Trilogy".
"Fantasy novel, first in the "Rain Wild Chronicles" set in the same world as her Liveship Traders and Tawny Man trilogies. It concerns a group of debilitated dragons, rejected by human culture, setting out to find their ancient home"(с) Locus Online: New Books, mid February 2010
Из рецензии Роланда Грина (Roland Green) в "Booklist": "In a novel as good as it is massive, the first of two Rain Wilds Chronicles, Hobb returns to the dragons of the Rain Wilds forests, first met in her Liveship Traders trilogy. They have survived but aren’t thriving. Weak and sick, they must be cared for by the forest’s inhabitants. The only way to save them is to send them back up the Rain Wilds river, lest they run amok and destroy the more civilized peoples who don’t want the responsibility of caring for them. On the perilous journey to do just that, a rich merchant’s wife from Bingtown and a 16-year-old girl from the Rain Wilds tribes meet. They initially have nothing whatsoever in common except wanting to help the dragons, but that is enough for a bond between them to be eventually established as they fight natural and man-made hazards. The scenes on the water will remind readers of the Liveship Traders, as will the good characterizations and the lush forest settings. Hobb continues to occupy a perch at or near the top among contemporary fantasists. This book is imaginative, literate, and compassionate from first page to last."
Англоаннотация: "After many years, dragons have hatched again outside the ancient city of Cassarick. But something is wrong with the creatures; each is inferior or weak in some way, and many die. Tending these stunted dragons has left the people of the surrounding area weary. The Traders Council, the city's leadership, fears that if the Rain Wilders stop providing for the young dragons, the hungry and neglected creatures will rampage and destroy Cassarick. To avert catastrophe, the council rules to relocate the young dragons to "a better location" up river, and residents are recruited to escort the valuable yet fearsome creatures on the arduous journey. Among them are Thymara, an unschooled Rain Wilds girl of sixteen, and Alise, a wealthy, educated, and deeply unsatisfied Bingtown Trader's wife.Witnessed from the viewpoints of these two very different women, Dragon Keeper tells the story of this disparate band of humans and dragons as they make their way along the toxic and inhospitable Rain Wild River in search of their new home-the ancient, long-lost city of Kelsingra."

Джесс-Кук К. "Дневник ангела-хранителя"
14.06.2012
Дебютный роман ирландки Кэролин Джесс-Кук (Carolyn Jess-Cooke) "The Guardian Angel's Journal" (2011).
"Locus", возможно, назвал бы эту книгу литературным фэнтези, но в его базе роман не упоминается вообще (возможно потому, что издавался в Англии, а не в США).
Критики сравнивают автора с Одри Ниффенеггер. У Джесс-Кук также изданы на родине сборник поэзии "Inroads" (2010) и роман "The Boy Who Could See Demons" (май 2012).
Отрывок на английсокм http://www.carolynjesscooke.com/books/the-guardian-angels-journal/an-extract-from-the-guardian-angels-journal
Из рецензии в "Publishers Weekly": "Readers who overlook the uninviting title will be treated to a thoroughly original take on a familiar literary conceit. Margot Delacroix is dead as the story opens, but has become a guardian angel named Ruth, sent back to guard herself reliving her life, following the four rules of guardian angelhood: witness, protect, record, love. Ruth can affect what Margot does, a little. The life that unfolds, or re-unfolds, is harsh and filled with bad choices, but Ruth is there to give protection and nudges that may-or may not-be followed. Ruth is particularly anxious to better understand why her/Margot's teenage son ended up in jail for murder, and she sees a chance to make a difference, at great cost. Debut novelist Jess-Cooke, who lives in England, is a lovely writer; Ruth's narrative voice is compelling. The writer's fertile imagination generates a host of minor characters throughout Margot's life, all of whom have well-characterized guardian angels interacting with Ruth. The interplay of the planes of angelic and earthly existence is an insistent tease that reels the reader in and along. Jess-Cooke is one to watch."
Англоаннотация: "When Margot Delacroix dies at forty-two years old, she is sent back to earth as a guardian angel – to herself. Renamed Ruth, she is forced by divine mandate to re-experience and record her biggest mistakes and fiercest regrets from the beginning of her life to her untimely death.
Forced from the moment of her birth to witness the cogs of fate and the stuttering engine of free will, Ruth sets out to change the course of her life, and, ultimately, to prevent her premature death. When she realises that the reasons behind her teenage son’s descent into drugs and murder lay within her own actions as Margot, she makes a pact with a demon – she will give up her place in Heaven in exchange for the opportunity to save her son from his fate. But the changes she makes result in consequences no one could expect…"

Сэм Крайстер (Sam Christer, он же Джон Трэйс (Jon Trace), настоящее имя - Майкл Морли (Michael Morley)) "The Stonehenge Legacy" (2010)
Дэнобрауноподобный триллер, как я понимаю.
Англоаннотация: "Eight days after the summer solstice, a man's corpse is discovered on the grounds of Stonehenge, strange symbols carved into the flesh. Amid a media frenzy, the case falls to Wiltshire policewoman Meg Redfern, who in turn appeals to young Cambridge historian Gideon Chase, an expert on ancient British archaeology. Their investigation threatens to expose a secret society - an ancient international legion devoted for thousands of years to Stonehenge. With a charismatic and ruthless new leader at the helm, the cult is now performing ritual human sacrifices in a terrifying bid to unlock the secret of the stones. Packed with codes, symbology, relentless suspense, and fascinating detail about the history of one of the world's most iconic, beloved, and mysterious places, The Stonehenge Legacy is a blockbuster thriller to rival the best of Dan Brown, Chris Kuzneski, and Raymond Khoury."

Патрик Вудхед (Patrick Woodhead) "The Cloud Maker" (2009; вариант названия "The Forbidden Temple")
1-я часть цикла "Luca Matthews", в который также входит "The Secret Chamber" (2011).
Приключенческий триллер, написанный альпинистом про альпинистов, бегающих по Гималаям от китайской секретной полиции.
Англоаннотация: "Clive Cussler meets Dan Brown in this high voltage adventure thriller in which two ambitious young climbers stumble upon a great secret in the Himalayas and find themselves on the run from the Chinese secret police.
In the ruthless pursuit of his mountaineering goals, Luca Matthews would sacrifice anything — even another climber's life. So when he sights a virgin peak in the Himalayas that exists on no map, no one is surprised when he becomes obsessed with being the first to scale it.
With his climbing partner, Bill Taylor, he sets off into a region of Tibet highly restricted by the Chinese, where it is left to a local Tibetan girl to lead them to Geltang, a monastery hidden from the outside world since the Chinese Cultural Revolution when most of the monasteries were destroyed. As the Chinese secret police get wind of them, Luca and Bill find themselves embroiled in an age-old struggle, not for their lives but to protect the precious secret that Geltang hides and the legacy of Tibet itself."

перенос с мая
Lisa DesRochers "Personal Demons" (2010)
1-я часть одноименной трилогии подростковой городской фэнтези, в которую также входит "Original Sin" (2011). В мае 2012 выходит третий роман цикла - "Last Rite" (2012).
Описание цикла из англовикипедии: "This young-adult, urban fantasy series centers around Frannie Cavanaugh, a good Catholic girl with a unique skill she’s unaware she possesses, who finds herself in a battle for not just her soul, but also her heart, between Lucifer Cain, a demon sent by the king of Hell to tag Frannie’s soul, and Gabriel, the angel sent to protect her."
Из рецензии John Peters в "Booklist": "In this steamy case of adolescent wish fulfillment, high-school senior Frannie finds herself caught between two impossibly hot new schoolmates who turn out to be a demon and an angel wrangling for her soul. Will she choose dark, thrillingly dangerous Luc (a First Level demon from his namesake’s Acquisitions Department, and her co-narrator) or blond, dazzling Gabe? Rather than go for a metaphorical level—Frannie, as it turns out, is being wooed because she possesses a psychic ability that would be invaluable to “the Almighty” and Lucifer alike—the author crafts a suitable plot for her Buffy-style protagonist, well endowed with innuendo-laden conversation, heavy breathing, and battles with hell-spawn set against a backdrop of shared school assignments and weekend parties. Ultimately, Frannie falls in love with Luc, as he intends, but to his stunned dismay, he finds himself reciprocating—introducing some wild twists in a tale that stands alone well enough but leaves avenues for sequels. Though the theology doesn’t bear close examination, readers may have to take breaks to cool down. Grades 9-12."
Англоаннотация: "Frannie Cavanaugh is a good Catholic girl with a bit of a wicked streak. She has spent years keeping everyone at a distance---even her closest friends---and it seems as if her senior year is going to be more of the same . . . until Luc Cain enrolls in her class. No one knows where he came from, but Frannie can’t seem to stay away from him.
What she doesn’t know is that Luc is on a mission. He’s been sent from Hell itself to claim Frannie’s soul. It should be easy---all he has to do is get her to sin, and Luc is as tempting as they come. Frannie doesn’t stand a chance. But he has to work fast, because if the infernals are after her, the celestials can’t be far behind. And sure enough, it’s not long before the angel Gabriel shows up, willing to do anything to keep Luc from getting what he came for. It isn’t long before they find themselves fighting for more than just Frannie’s soul.
But if Luc fails, there will be Hell to pay . . . for all of them."
