Welcome to Chromatacia, where life is strictly regulated by oneâs limited color perception. Civilization has been rebuilt after an unspoken âSomething that Happenedâ five hundred years before. Society is now color visionâsegregated, everything dictated by an individualâs visual ability, and governed by the shadowy National Color in far-off Emerald City.
Twenty-year-old Eddie Russett, a Red, is about to go on trial for a murder he didnât commit, and heâs pretty certain to be sent on a one-way trip to the Green Room for execution by soporific color exposure. Meanwhile, heâs engaged in an illegal relationship with his co-defendant, a Green, the charismatic and unpredictable Jane Grey. Negotiating the narrow boundaries of the Rules within their society, they search for a loopholeâsome truth of their world that has been hidden from its hyper-policed citizens.
New York Times bestselling author Jasper Fforde returns to his fan-favorite Shades of Grey series with this wildly anticipated, laugh-out-loud funny and darkly satirical adventure about two star-crossed lovers on a quest to surviveâeven if it means upending their entire society in the process.

Das Buch ist zu schnell und zu plötzlich vorbei. Super vorgelesen, hat mich komolett in seinen Bann gezogen. Ich hoffe es gibt eine Fortsetzung.
