The galactic year is 5028. Gods wage war over the fate of the Milky Way, as its inhabitants fight for their right to live. The Soulless, thrall of the god, Hilos, threaten to wipe out all sentient life, while the Celestials, chosen of the gods Cleva and Solvemos, take the front lines to stop them. William Ortell, a young man from Furelle is chosen as a successor to Vale, a powerful Celestial of years past whose magic was unparalleled. Together with his friends and the crew of the Blue Sparrow, he must fight against the clock to find a way to put a stop to this war once and for all, while also dodging the Soulless wishing to put a stop to him. All the while, he struggles to learn his place in this vast galaxy as he untangles the skills of his predecessor, learning to be more than he was, and learning what it truly means to be a Celestial.
Very interesting book. Intriguing plot-line, characters that draw you in, nice blend of sci-fi and futuristic fantasy!
Very interesting mix of sci-fi and fantasy of a war of gods over the futuristic Milky Way. With the threat of being wiped out by one set of gods, another set stand up to stop them. There were so many gods, that I lost track. Exploring the depths of space, Young William Ortell, from Furelle, has to fight against the clock to stop the war and save the lives of those in the galaxy from the Soulless. Intriguing plot-line, characters that draw you in, and a nice blend of sci-fi and futuristic fantasy! Would make a fascinating movie.
Great read.The author does a great job building suspense while curating all complexities of characters along the way. Definitely a page turner that will keep you at the edge of your seat.
