Synopsis:

‘In a world gripped by the Vitruvian Elite, a young rebel discovers that the greatest battle between the darkness and the light is in himself.’

Born from the ashes of the old world, the great cities of humanity’s new hope are beacons of light. Yet freed from the depths of a cruel prison, Will Manning is left with nothing but rage.Seeking revenge against the tyrannical rule of the Vitruvian elite with the help of a shadowy group called Legion, he sets about to light the spark to bring them to their knees. But from the palace of the mad queen in the Sea of Sand to the Weeping City of Sorrow in the mountains of Mourne, the truth is not what it seems. And as salvation collides with chaos, justice may be no more than a wishful dream.

Delving into the tumultuous vision of humanity’s near future, L. Ross Coulter’s provocative new novel ignites a journey through the interplay of pervasive technology, spirituality, and the myriad social challenges confronting today’s youth. Inquisitively, it probes the seemingly impossible essence of hope amid the chaos of the world, all while questioning where and how the adults of tomorrow will fit in.

My Review:

I got this book for free, in exchange for my honest opinion via L. Ross Coulter .

In a world gripped by the Vitruvian Elite, Will, a young rebel, discovers the greatest battle between darkness and light is within himself. Will he succumb to rage, or will he embrace his compassion? This is a thrilling fantasy adventure that draws you in from the first sentence.

I’ve never read a Christian science fiction book before, so I wasn’t sure what to expect. However, I ended up really enjoying this. The book is well written with an entrancing story line, with well written characters. My favourite characters were probably Will and Abby. The world building is phenomenal, it’s full on superb descriptions. I truly felt like I was in the story, watching it in real life.

My only complaint is that the story didn’t feel finished. Coulter spent all this time building beautiful scenes but the ending seemed rather abrupt. So if you’re into Christian and/or science fiction, this book is for you.

Thank you, L. Ross Coulter for allowing me to review! As always, my review is my own opinion and thoughts. This review will be shared to my Instagram @fictionluxblog shortly.
