Translucid by Chondra Sanchez, Claudio Sánchez
4.0
Heroes can't turn back time. Only villains can do that. The story starts at the tipping point of the relationship between The Navigator and his archnemesis The Horse.
The Horse isn't the type of troubled monster who enjoys watching innocent people die. But he's no saint. And he's getting tired of his codependent relationship with the hero. The only way to get his identity back is to end The Navigator. He creates a way to unravel the traumas that made The Navigator a hero.
The relationship between the hero and the villains is the driving force of the story. The ending catches you by surprise. In a good, but rather dark, way. Translucid grabbed me from the very first scene, and the introduction of The Navigator's troubled backstory contrasted with The Horse's methodological actions sealed the deal.
