Praise for this book
Listen, if you're not into cyberpunk, fantasy, or sci-fi, then keep scrolling. This isn't your book. However, if you're a fan of any of those genres, you're in for a treat. If you're a fan of all three of those genres, then you're probably going to need to sit down, because you just found a unicorn.
Fantastic characters, fantastic world building, great story. I wanted to immediately start on the next book as soon as I finished it. So now I'm aggressively waiting for book 2.
As a bookworm and avid reader of all things sci-fi/fantasy or cyberpunk related, I can't recommend this book highly enough. Go support a new indie writer and enjoy a fantastic read.
Exceptional job!! Enjoyed the story as the author masterfully wove layer after later of intrigue.
I finished this a little bit ago but forgot to write a review! This was a ton of fun. Solid cyberpunk aesthetic with a little fantastical magic interlaced. The detective story with those surreal elements, the intrigue of secret societies, and some reall intriguing character relationships made for a good read!
