Tim Akers

This is a fun read for anyone who enjoyed the Burn Cycle books, Dead of Veridon and Heart of Veridon. I hope for more tales in this setting. Bones of Veridon is a collection of early sketches by the author and supplemental short stories that are related to the universe that Veridon resides within.

This was likable, but I didn't enjoy it quite as much as Akers' Burn Cycle books. I love his imagery in this tale, especially how the main character boosts her abilities by inciting myths related to her god. Akers has a wonderful talent for storytelling. The only part that I didn't like about this tale was that the main character was a little to "cut and dry" for me. It made her difficult to like, but that could have been part of the author's objective.

Akers spins up an intricate magic system, with bound souls and angels and demons and... quite a bit of humor inbetween.

The magic works, even as it takes up quite a bit of space for all the explanations, a surprising way to use magic ends up playing a vital part. It does get handled before but it's a bit convenient for our heroes. Still, a good read.

Wirklich fantastisch. Urban Fantasy aber mal ganz anders aufgebaut, es gibt nicht einfach alles an Monstern und Mythen sondern diese sind in Unrealitäten die dann öfter mal mit der Realität übereinkommen.

Und: es ist superwitzig.

Es ist offensichtlich der Start einer Serie, oder soll es sein, aber da sehe ich einige Probleme auf den Autor zukommen. Als Einzelbuch aber sehr unterhaltsam.
