I need to preface this review with some examples of things for you to understand where I’ll be going with it as well as understand framing reference.
Now Game of Thrones is hugely popular. I couldn’t make it through the first season. While my husband was watching and the dragons came on I was fascinated and then binged to catch up. I sludged through season one. I do not like politics. To me, personally, they take me out of immersion with a story. So I had to push through. Now that knowledge was important in season one and helped to better understand characters, places, and plot lines. I ended up giving characters nicknames to remember them. Now the books were the same for me. I had to push through the politics. It’s just not my jam. This coming from a now hardcore GoT fan of both the show and books.
I don’t know how he did it in this book. I wasn’t bored with any world building, regime creating, or character creation. It was seamless. I read this monster of a book in one day as I was so engrossed. I love me a good scifi but this was so much more. It was an amalgam of magic and science. Dystopian and futuristic. It beyond shocked me how fascinating everything is. I had no idea that the beginning initial plot line would take me to where this book ended. This book is incredible, beyond incredible. The scope of everything in this book is what’s another word for more epic than epic?
I mean I read a lot of books and review a lot of books. I go on kicks within a certain genre and devour until I move onto the next genre that tickles my fancy. This book, these concepts, these characters, they... well they moved me. I feel deeply involved in these characters lives and their journey. I crave to know more of what’s happening. My mind feels blown, opened, and I can’t even think of words right now but where your thought is evolved into a higher form of consciousness. That’s how I feel. I feel changed. A different me than before reading this. This book is beyond exceptional and will be a must recommend to anyone who ever asks for recommendations from me.
I didn’t intend to write a novel. (Pun intended) but I just wanted to try to explain into words how everything this book is. Nothing tripped me up or removed immersion for me and with politics that is so easy to do. Just, seamless. Not boring or long winded. Interesting and at times completely fascinating. The mythos surrounding things is so engrossing and encapsulated me. I feel drawn to know more. For there to be more. This book was beefy, and man did I enjoy that.
This was on KU when I read it so if you have that you have literally nothing to lose. And the story changes locations and characters evolve so if one part isn’t your jam keep reading. I had no difficulty devouring this book amidst raising my two small children and now staying up till one am to finish and write a review. I mean, wow. What an excellent introduction to this author. I will definitely be checking out his other works and there is copious things to choose from.
Adored this story and all that it included. I cannot wait for the next book, and thankful I read this based on an ad recommendation from Facebook.
Just speechless and in awe as I sit and digest. Semi sad that it’s over and nothing left to read in the book. Bittersweet. Absolutely love this book and all that it contained. High quality and exceptional content. A shining jewel in this authors crown of achievement.

My first ever review for a great new book.
Well, I admit it. I have been reading your books but have not written any reviews. But you suckered me in with this one. First in a series! Cool! Just released not as cool. I now have to wait for another book and you have so many queues. So, the need to encourage you. This is a story with depth and purpose. Yes, the ideals she has remind me of BA. Not a bad thing. It was not age defined just an engrossing read with characters you care about. As always a cliffhanger, you are diabolical.
