Sinopsis: Cuando estás estudiando para ser una exoveterinaria especializada en
exóticas formas de vida alienígenas, la escuela ... es un tipo diferente de
animal.
Zenn Scarlett es una chica de 17
años, hábil, decidida a trabajar duro para pasar a través de su año de
noviciado en la formación de exovet. Eso significa que está aprendiendo a
cuidar a las criaturas exóticas que en su mayoría son grandes, generalmente
peligrosas y profundamente fascinantes. Los exámenes de fin de curso de la Clínica
Exovet Claustro Franciscana en Marte, los cuales son de suma importancia para
Zenn, se están acercando y ella está convencida de que bordará los exámenes.
Pero cuando una serie de inexplicables escapes de animales y otros eventos
perturbadores golpean la escuela, Zenn se encuentra a sí misma siendo culpable
de los problemas. Como si esto no es suficiente, su padre ausente cortó abruptamente
la comunicación con ella y Liam Tucker, un chico forastero local comienza
a actuar inusualmente, molesto,
amigable, y lo más extraño de todo: Zenn está preocupada porque empezó a
compartir los pensamientos de las criaturas a su alrededor. Lo cual es
imposible, por supuesto. Sin embargo, no puede negar lo que siente.
Pero con la ayuda de Liam y
Hamish, un insecto de ocho pies que también está siendo entrenado en la
clínica, Zenn debe averiguar lo que le pasó a su padre, a resolver el misterio
de quién está saboteando el claustro, y a determinar si en realidad está compartiendo
los pensamientos de sus pacientes alienígenas... o sí simplemente está
volviéndose loca. Todo esto sin dejar su año de noviciado ...
MI PERSONAJE FAVORITO: Zenn
Scarlett es la heroína de un futuro distopico plagado de aliens. Ella es mi
personaje favorito, principalmente porque es la que más personalidad tiene y
porque es la protagonista y la que más sale en la historia. Me gusta que sea
independiente y que no se rinda ante las dificultades, ella es de estas
heroínas que no necesita a para que la defienda.
Opinión: Tuve la oportunidad de leer Zenn
Scarlett por medio de NetGalley y aproveche las vacaciones de semana santa para
leérmelo. Este libro se lee súper rápido, con decir que me lo leí en el coche
en el viaje que hicimos de Zaragoza a Murcia.
La narración es muy entretenida ya
que el autor te adentra a un nuevo mundo lleno de aliens, nuevos universos y
galaxias. Casi todos los personajes son secundarios, me falto ver más de Liam
porque se ve que siente algo por Zenn pero aparece muy poco para que llegue a
pasar algo. Me faltó más romance, pero eso es algo que me pasa habitualmente
porque soy una romántica empedernida.
El futuro distopico en el que
tiene lugar esta historia es maravilloso ya que el autor lo explica con tanto
detalle que realmente me imagine que estaba viviendo en Marte con los
personajes. Me ha encantado que no sea la típica distopia en la que todo vaya
sobre política.
Realmente me quedé muy sorprendida con este libro y tengo muchas ganas de que lo publiquen para que así saquen el segundo a la venta.
Title: Zenn Scarlett

Synopsis: When you're studying to be exoveterinarian specializing in exotic, alien
life forms, school... is a different kind of animal.
Zenn Scarlett is a resourceful, determined 17-year-old girl working hard to make it through her novice year of exovet training. That means she's learning to care for alien creatures that are mostly large, generally dangerous and profoundly fascinating. Zenn’s all-important end-of-term tests at the Ciscan Cloister Exovet Clinic on Mars are coming up, and, she's feeling confident of acing the exams. But when a series of inexplicable animal escapes and other disturbing events hit the school, Zenn finds herself being blamed for the problems. As if this isn't enough to deal with, her absent father has abruptly stopped communicating with her; Liam Tucker, a local towner boy, is acting unusually, annoyingly friendly; and, strangest of all: Zenn is worried she's started sharing the thoughts of the creatures around her. Which is impossible, of course. Nonetheless, she can't deny what she's feeling.
Now, with the help of Liam and Hamish, an eight-foot sentient insectoid also training at the clinic, Zenn must learn what's happened to her father, solve the mystery of who, if anyone, is sabotaging the cloister, and determine if she's actually sensing the consciousness of her alien patients... or just losing her mind. All without failing her novice year...

MY FAVOURITE CHARACTER: Zenn Scarlett is the heroine of a dystopian future full
of aliens. She is my favorite character, she is the main character because she
has the most appealing personality, and because she is the protagonist. I like
that she is independent and she does not give in to the difficulties, she is one
of these heroines that does not need anybody
to defend her.
Opinion: I had the opportunity to read Zenn Scarlett through
NetGalley and I read it during the
Easter Holidays. This book is easy and
fast to read, I read it in the car on the trip from Zaragoza to Murcia.
The story is very
entertaining as the author takes you into a new world full of aliens, new
universes and galaxies. Almost all the
characters are secondary, I wanted to see more of Liam because it looks like he
has feelings for Zenn but very little happens. I missed more romance, but
that's something that usually happens to me because I'm a hopeless romantic.
The dystopian
future in which this story takes place is wonderful, as the author explains in
such detail that I really imagined that I was living on Mars with the
characters. I loved that is not the typical dystopia in which everything goes around
policy.
Actually, I was
very surprised by this book and I really want it to be publish, in order to get the second book as soon as I
can.
