Thank you for a very detailed review.
This book sounds fascinating and packed with twists and turns. The range of characters sounds engaging. I can't help guessing what the fate of Conor will be in all this. DR Drakes's character definitely is an unusual blend ,yet certainly intriguing, I suspect science only empowers his mysticism.
Congratulations to the author!

It is so rare to find real good urban fantasy, but according this review we stumble on true treasure with this book. Not only it seems written good and existing premise, it is based on actual mythology, folklore and religion entwined between themselves.

Conor's life sounds adventurous because of the elements of mystery and his fighting spirit. Teenagers would find this story relatable. Congrats on botd!!

Great review! Although this is a sci-fi fantasy book I usually do not like to read, it sounds like a very interesting story. I will look into it further to see if it fits into a category I enjoy.

An interesting read. As a lover of poems, I like the poetic style chosen by the author. The review illustrates an interesting story ahead. A story pitting Good vs Evil.

Beautiful review. Sadly, fiction isn't really one of my genres. But it does sound like a great book and an interesting one at that. Writing a truly compelling book on mysticism is quite commendable. Kudos to the author.

The story seems to have a great plot, which albeit grounded in earthly reality, appears to have fantastical elements as well. A classic tale of good vs. evil falling under the genre of magic realism is how I would best characterize it.

Urban fantasy never was one of my favorite genres, but for this book I think it is worth to make exception. And the reason is my one true love - History, in any shape and form, including legends, myth and folklore. Since this book heavely leans on them I will read it.
