Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

"Dystopian, ideological, rebellious-Peterfreund's fantasy homage to Austen's Persuasion departs from the original in many respects, and with great success .... a richly envisioned portrait of a society in flux, a steely yet vulnerable heroine, and a young man who does some growing up."--Publishers Weekly

"Diana Peterfreund's For Darkness Shows the Stars is an impassioned ode to Jane Austen, love, and the hope found in stars."--Beth Revis, New York Times bestselling author of ACROSS THE UNIVERSE and A MILLION SUNS

"Succeeds in recasting Austen's characters to bring her themes to a futurist society and provide wry comment on life in the twenty-first century .... will appeal to science fiction and romance fans alike.--Voice of Youth Advocates (VOYA)

"A beautiful, epic love story you won't be able to put down!"--Simone Elkeles, New York Times bestselling author of the Perfect Chemistry series

"Don't you love it when a brilliant idea meets with brilliant execution? Thank you, Diana Peterfreund for giving us a post-apocalyptic Persuasion. This book is meltingly good."--Laini Taylor, National Book Award Finalist for LIPS TOUCH: THREE TIMES

"A smart and sexy tale of star-crossed love that's as thought-provoking as it is heartbreaking."--Robin Wasserman, author of THE BOOK OF BLOOD AND SHADOW

Praise for ASCENDANT: "In this thrilling sequel to Peterfreund's Rampant...the strong yet vulnerable heroine, compelling conflicts, and exquisite settings should find a voracious audience in those familiar with the first installment."--Publishers Weekly

Praise for ASCENDANT: "Peterfreund is sure to gain a stronger following with Ascendant, and fans will eagerly await further titles in the series."--School Library Journal

Praise for ASCENDANT: "I was riveted by Ascendant. It's not only about killer unicorns; it's also about finding the courage to make tough decisions--and to be true to yourself. I think Astrid rocks!"--Malinda Lo, author of ASH

"Will be a hit with fans of sci-fi romances... Readers will keep turning the pages right up to the end."--School Library Journal (starred review)

Reseña del editor:

A postapocalyptic reimagining of Jane Austen's Persuasion finds 18-year-old Luddite Elliot North remembering the romance she gave up four years earlier out of a sense of duty toward her caste-conscious family's estate and renting her lands to her now-successful former love Kai, who reveals to Elliot what she gave up. 40,000 first printing.
