A review by lindca
Crucible Zero by Devon Monk
4.0
4.5 stars
Strong and satisfying end to a very good trilogy. I enjoyed this much more than Monk's Allie Beckstrom series, in which I lost interest after a few books. The premise of an altered world with the nearly invincible Galvanized and the alterations of time is intriguing and a bit different than most UF fare. Tillie is an excellent protagonist: strong, smart, takes no guff from anyone, yet good-hearted and very loyal. The twists of time and characters were handled well and kept things interesting.
I hope that Monk will turn her efforts into more series like this rather than her Allie Beckstrom and world spinoffs, as I definitely would be interested in reading more original stories from her.
