I wasn't quite sure what to expect from this novel, but it far exceeded any expectations that I had. If you are like me then you have certain Authors that you always go for as you know them well and are certain that their creations always meet your expectations, well this Author and story meets all of my criteria.
The story gripped me from the first page and didn't really let go until the end. It is set in a dystopian society masquerading as a Utopian society in the not too distant future. It blends science which is achievable today with celestial entities and their associated magical capabilities seamlessly. The storyline is fast paced, complex (which I love), it never gives you pause to breath as you want to find out what it going to occur on the next page; which is not always what you think. The characters are well written and well rounded. They grow as the story progresses, and what is great is that they are not one dimensional but very multi-faceted, with believable interaction. It is a fantastic story, created in an interesting world with twist and turns all the way through. The story makes you think; it takes the old good v evil scenario and gives it a good shake.
I would highly recommend this novel and eagerly await the Authors next work. Definitely an Author to watch.
