A lot of pack into one novel
Have you ever been curious about the creation of Universe? What caused the Big Bang, the origin of life, the existence of human beings and likes? These are questions to which there are no definite answers. Well, the author of this book seems to have finally solved the mystery.

Of course, it is not all true but the book had me intrigued, entertained and hooked. This fictional exploration is told in inventive ways. Take this journey and see for yourselves.

The plot is well-crafted and thought out with a clear and cohesive narration. The author blends together several genres - horror, fantasy, science, romance- with ease and deftness. The storyline explores the idea of self-integrity during difficult times. It is fast-paced and compelling.

The writing style is casual with clarity and simplicity making for a fun and easy read. The characters are likable and poignantly relatable. They grow with the book and each has their own distinct voice. The characters Lucifer and Sam made an impact on me. The dialogues are crisp and paragraphs well-parsed.

There are elements of supernatural and gory horror- battles, one-to-one combats, struggle and chase. The action never stopped and it was crazy good. The fantasy is unusual bringing in freshness. There is a sense of realism despite the outrageous and fantastical nature of the book.

The bittersweet romance brings in a change of pace to all the bloodshed and horror. It is so raw and felt natural. The book doesn't just explore the warm, sweet side of love but also the messy side. There is love, sex, fights and tears.

In the end, the book imparts a bit of insight into how the world works. The author touches on the message very subtly and effectively but does not hit the reader over the head with it.

My only gripe about the book was that I wish it had been longer. It felt complete, yes, but I dint want it to end.
