Had to go find my original review for this as I never sent it off, apologies it’s literally years late.

This felt like a lot, and when I read it political fantasy was not my jam. However, I think if I gave this a chance now, it would hit a lot better. I actually got very stuck reading this book and it caused me to avoid NetGalley for two years.

Overall, I’d give this book a 3.5 stars, because I think it’s well written, and younger me didn’t appreciate it enough.

This was far too complex for me.
There are too many characters and the story line felt disjointed.
Not for me.

"The new age of darkness was about to fall. It was the epoch of nightmares, demons, and hateful spirits, hatched out from the foul womb of mankind's subconscious.

"What would you give up to live forever?

Fast paced, engrossing, and ultra subversive.

Science fiction, fantasy, politics and thriller all mixed in together some something for everyone.

The only downside for me is the amount of information squashed into one book, this would make a great series with all the side stories. Other than that this book is spot on!
