The characters in the story are well defined as is the setting. Indie Gantz has created a world rich with detail and action. It’s easy to get caught up in the story and not want to put the book down. Charlie and Tirrigan, the main characters, are wonderfully developed and given great depth.
The book was good and I am looking forward to book two in the Akasha series.

With a unique twist and changing points of view, this is a read to enjoy.
Charlie and Tirigan are alien twins born on Earth after humans have gone extinct. They've spent their lives traveling with their parents across the globe, meeting few people along the way. When their mother is suddenly captured, their father unveils a dangerous secret which forces the twins to flee to an unknown side of Earth on their own. This part of the story is told from Charlie's point of view, while her brother, Tirig ...more

Now here is the adventure novel full of suspense that readers have been waiting for! The first line grabs you from the very beginning as readers come to learn about the Anunnaki and how they integrated themselves on earth as observers of the human race. I haven't read a book of the sci-fi genre in quite some time and I must report that Passage was definately a great read to enthuse my interest in the genre. I'd compare Passage's sense of action and adventure with Contact and The Mothman Prophe

Well, where do I start with this review? A good book has to have good characters, that's exactly what Passage has! The characters are well defined and so is the setting. The world is amazing - Indie has included such rich detail and action. This is a book where you will get caught up and it will be hard to put it down. I love how Indie has included two points of view from two different time periods.
This actually works soo well! The characters are introduced so well and their stories are perfect. ...more

This novel is written in such a unique way. You can kind of tell from the synopsis that there will be some time jumping. This is a difficult thing for an author to master as to not confuse their reader. I'm happy to say that Indie Gantz has done this masterfully.
One thing that you need to be aware of that is this is a Book 1, so there is a LOT to learn about the world Indie Gantz is taking us into and the characters. That is a huge part of this novel, backstory and getting the reader up to spee ...more

A friend recommended this book, and I was excited to get my hands on one of the first copies released. While it’s not my typical genre, I may have to rethink that about myself, because this book was wonderful. Within pages I was invested in the characters and their lives. Indie Gantz has a way with words that instantly and fully transports readers to when this series takes place. While giving detail to lay down the setting and back story, Indie Gantz builds a foundation for the series without bo

So this book remind me of how a new Marvel film series starts. The first movie is always the one with the back story and more boring than the movies to come. This book is the same way as it's the first book in the series it's really a backstory book which can get boring at times. You learn a lot about an alien race that came to earth after all the humans died. Though apparently there are still some humans on earth just not the normal kind. There are some interesting parts to this story but it ca

Passage: Book I of The Akasha Series by Indie Gantz is written very well. I couldn't put this book down. I was hooked from tbe beginning. I don't normally read science fiction, but decided to try this one and I'm glad I did.
It is set in a world where humans are extinct but the Annunaki that now inhabit earth take on many human customs and well known books and ideas such as Shakespeare and the concept of a "meme".

Dynamic characters, a beautiful, detailed fantasy world, and dual timelines lead to a fast pageturner!
The first book of the Akasha Series is a smart read. A robustly built science fiction/fantasy world, fast, witty dialogue, and dynamic characters make this novel a real page-turner while not skimping on the depth of the theory of the magic and social structure that make it realistic. Indie Gantz has captured relatable characters and engaging dual timelines to make me want to never put this book ...more

This book captured my attention at the start and kept me entertained to the last sentence. The concepts presented as the story developed are unique. I particularly liked the dystopian setting on a future Earth in which “normal” humans have become extinct.
I had a little difficulty with the time jumps and shifts in POV at first until I got used to the author’s storytelling style. Tirigan and Charlie are paternal twins but each has a distinct personality and individual quirks. Despite that, they ...more

** I received a copy of this book for free through a Goodreads giveaway. **
I enjoyed this book very much (for the most part). I did have some difficulty with the time jumps at first but after the second (or maybe third) such jump, I realized how they fit into the story and how they enhanced it. The characters were very well developed and the idea of two competing alien races being all that was left on earth after some type of apocalypse was well done. The pace was constant and there was enough a ...more

I felt that the plot was a good one, but the flow of it seemed a bit rushed at times. I found myself trying to keep up. Luckily it wasn't too crazy and ultimately I understanding everything and actually ended up appreciating the pace.
These characters each have their own personalities and depth to them. None of them felt one-dimensional or forced, they all shined through as individuals.

I loved how fast this novel was in its pacing, I thought that it kept me on the edge of my seat from start to finish. I loved how much action there was throughout and how the author didn’t shy away from making sure everything was detailed.
The time jumps and multiple perspectives were fun to read about. I didn’t find myself getting lost at all, Indie Gantz does a great job of clearly defining each moment.

Passage is a very well-written, captivating book. I was hooked within the first chapter and am left wanting to read more about Charlie and Tirigan and where their struggles/adventures lead them. I felt that the set up and background material was interwoven well with the story. The mystery and action definitely kept me reading. I am looking forward to reading the next book!
Really interesting, unique concept! I loved the characters and the way the author drew me in and left me wanting more. When’s the next one Indie G!!!

I kept trying to read this one, determined to get through it, but I found myself dragging. I couldn't pinpoint what it was, and I finally started writing out my thoughts on it.
