Magic Bleeds
5 Stars
The post-apocalyptic world in which magic and technology compete for dominance continues to amaze as does Andrews' incorporation of mythological elements - this time from Babylonian myth and Jewish mysticism.
The basic premise of a god of fear and destruction wreaking havoc on the denizens of Atlanta has tremendous potential and on the whole is well-executed and action packed. That said, none of Erra's henchmen have any individual personality or motivation, and as such, the th ...more
