Reseñas de la Crítica

Fonda Lee has outdone herself. The Last Contract of Isako is totally gripping -- the work of a master at the top of her game (Sarah Gailey, Hugo Award-winning author)

A masterclass in concise world building, incisive characterisation, and a classic action plot that highlights honour, competency and compassion against a background of betrayal, dazzling fight sequences, and secrets that must not be told (Kate Elliott)

In a far-flung dystopia, Isako is a swordswoman bound by a code of honor, who finds herself caught between competing interests--where corporate powers, semi-immortal elites, and disgruntled radicals clash over an uncertain future. Released unexpectedly from her contract and made a ronin, Isako must plunge into the scheming underbelly of a hostile world to uncover a secret that might change everything. Fonda Lee has once again written a tale full of intrigue, nuanced characters, unexpected surprises, and action that keeps you on the edge of your seat! (P. Djèlí Clark)
