"This story pulled me in right from the first chapter. It’s full of mystery, betrayal, and a heroine who refuses to break even when the world pushes back. I loved the tension, the secrets slowly unraveling, and the sharp edge to the writing. Definitel"

"One thing that needs to be made absolutely clear is that you have to go into this story with an open mind. I've honestly never read anything like this. The setting, although similar to the real world still felt very other worldly. It's a bit grimdark"

4.5 The worldbuilding here is really, really good. We only get a vague shape of the total world as there really isn't enough CHONK to explore everything thoroughly, but this glimpse really impressed me. There was a sense of eerie grandeur that I quite ...more |

Definitely a page turner. The pace is lightning and everything is easy to follow and engaging (harder to achieve than people might think). It will be very interesting to see where the sequel takes things as there is a great deal of potential in the wo ...more |

“The more I love humanity in general the less I love man in particular. In my dreams, I often make plans for the service of humanity, and perhaps I might actually face crucifixion if it were suddenly necessary. Yet I am incapable of living in the same room with anyone for two days together. I know from experience. As soon as anyone is near me, his personality disturbs me and restricts my freedom. In twenty-four hours I begin to hate the best of men: one because he’s too long over his dinner, another because he has a cold and keeps on blowing his nose. I become hostile to people the moment they come close to me. But it has always happened that the more I hate men individually the more I love humanity.”

“If you're going to try, go all the way. Otherwise, don't even start. This could mean losing girlfriends, wives, relatives and maybe even your mind. It could mean not eating for three or four days. It could mean freezing on a park bench. It could mean jail. It could mean derision. It could mean mockery--isolation. Isolation is the gift. All the others are a test of your endurance, of how much you really want to do it. And, you'll do it, despite rejection and the worst odds. And it will be better than anything else you can imagine. If you're going to try, go all the way. There is no other feeling like that. You will be alone with the gods, and the nights will flame with fire. You will ride life straight to perfect laughter. It's the only good fight there is.”
