The Color of Rain Zusammenfassung

The Color of Rain Cori McCarthy

If there is one thing that seventeen-year-old Rain knows and knows well, it is survival. Caring for her little brother, Walker, who is Touched, and losing the rest of her family to the same disease, Rain has long had to fend for herself on the bleak, dangerous streets of Earth City. When she looks to the stars, Rain sees escape and the only possible cure for Walker. And when a darkly handsome and mysterious captain named Johnny offers her passage to the Edge, Rain immediately boards his spaceship. Her only price: her willingness. The Void cloaks many secrets, and Rain quickly discovers that Johnny's ship serves as host for an underground slave trade for the Touched ...and a prostitution ring for Johnny's girls. With hair as red as the bracelet that indicates her status on the ship, the feeling of being a marked target is not helpful in Rain's quest to escape. Even worse, Rain is unsure if she will be able to pay the costs of love, family, hope, and self-preservation. With intergalactic twists and turns, Cori McCarthy's debut space thriller exists in an orbit of its own.

The Color of Rain Bewertungen

A space opera with a twist... This combination of psychological thriller, adventure tale, and even some romance, is fast-paced and thought-provoking. McCarthy has made a bold decision, breaking from the norms of the usually sexually egalitarian realms of space fiction, and it works. --VOYA [An] elegantly written and emotionally cathartic page-turner. --Kirkus Reviews McCarthy's poetic language glows throughout her descriptions of a desolate and melancholy universe. --Publishers Weekly McCarthy pulls no punches, exploring some of the most problematic romance tropes in YA with an analytical eye and a keen sense of humanity. --The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books This well-written story is fast-paced, nerve-wracking, and disturbing all at the same time. Rain is a likeable character, and her plight so horrific that the reader is sure to root for her. --Children's Literature I think Cori McCarthy deserves some applause for handling this issue so delicately. ...I'm not soon going too forget The Color of Rain and I think the best praise I can give it is calling it a 5 star book. It's a unique read that I'll probably have to read again to absorb. It makes me think and question and that is one of the best qualities a book can have. 5 hearts. --The Sirenic Codex blog McCarthy has written a non-stop, no-holds-barred action thriller. --Tim Wynne-Jones, author of Blink & Caution [With] surprising twists, candid romance, and beautiful language, McCarthy will catch readers before they fall. --The Compulsive Reader blog
