Warcross
Marie Lu«Visionario, cinetico e incalzante come un videogame. E molto divertente.» The New York Times C'è ancora gente convinta che Warcross sia un gioco stupido. Certi, invece, lo considerano una rivoluzione. Per me, e per altri milioni di persone, è l'unico metodo infallibile per dimenticare i propri guai. Oggi ho perso una taglia ed entro un paio di giorni non avrò più un posto dove vivere... ma stasera posso unirmi agli altri, inforcare gli occhiali e godermi la magia.
