Oublié
About
Stranded on a sentient moon with nothing but their enhanced intuition and the help of a bygone deity, the survivors of a post-human race set out to investigate the sudden disappearance of their enemies. What they find might plunge the universe into oblivion.
Galaxies away, after a narrow escape from Niflheim, the god of the dead and the goddess of writing forge an alliance with a Nephilim to uncover the fate of the all-but-forgotten goddess of memory when they receive a distress call from the god of reckoning.
Oublié takes us on a weird journey of self-discovery and deception, where memory and truth are at odds with each other and the fate of both gods and mortals hangs in the thin balance between trust and faith.
Praise for this book
While this is a standalone Timelessness tale, I was so excited to go back into this universe with these characters. The crisscrossing of various mythological pantheons and the future evolutions of humanity create the ultimate ragtag team of adventurers. The Egyptian Deities take center stage for this story and I’m overjoyed for it! The gods genuinely view their world through eyes untainted by concern for another creature. That makes for some truly ruthless behavior so when they show a hint of compassion, it’s monumental.
The goddess of memory has wiped the minds of most characters near her last known location on this moon called Sombra. The questions raised regarding what makes a person themselves when they have no memories to base their lives upon were a fascinating subject. Being who you are today without the weight of a life’s worth of memories/guilt/secrets is such a liberating idea.
Many characters from the other novels are referenced so my prior reading enhanced the whole experience. Imaginario absolutely pulls off making what was initially a sequel thrive on its own.
