"The Ampoule of Green" is claimed by the author himself as “a novel about grains of time.” Even though it’s about grains, it’s still a novel. Vladislav Petrovich has finally reached love. Something new in his books. Of course, it all feels very cautious—there’s a sense that the territory has not been explored by the author yet. So, of course, all those boys with girls and the inevitable miracles will dominate. As always, there will be references to other works in the cycle, and between cycles. What makes one happy: VPK keeps the bar to the very end. It seems the work is more adult than the beginning of the cycle—though, of course, listen for yourself.
