Genomancy
The Blight appeared on Earth one day, spreading soon through every nation.
And right when man could only pray, Xul then brought assured salvation.
Above the clouds did life resume, imparting hope that all was won.
But many later met with doom, their cities falling one by one.
Empyrea withstood the years, for Xul has grander plans in mind.
Its commoners are plagued by fears, while freedoms sure enough declined.
The Order strikes with ruthless might, which means resistance often dies.
Yet some alive can see the light, refusing to accept their lies.
Lucas Corvin will not cower, but great is their supremacy.
Now he must unlock his power, man’s lost art called genomancy.
There comes with it a messenger, the maiden seen before in dreams.
He learns of hidden truths from her, with more in darkness than it seems.

I do not prefer to read science fiction or fantasy, but I surprisingly enjoyed this book. The vocabulary and writing was advanced, and the alternating narratives kept it interesting. I thought there was somewhat of an emotional disconnect in part one, but that can be attributed to introducing so many characters at once and writing in third person. Additionally, the setting at times was unclear, but had virtually no effect on reading comprehension. In the future, I think it would be cool to see this author write a novel solely in first person.
The dialogue was particularly intriguing on pp. 79 and 335.

Love this book! You get sucked into it from the very beginning. Secret mission meets dystopian cities meets magic science & extra terrestrials. So kind of a guide book to 2022. It feels so big like LOTR or HP because it's got it's own world, but it's actually short enough to read again. Win/win!

Fast-paced action, but you get invested in the characters. Good adventure sci-fi fantasy. Really enjoyed this one.

would not recommend this book because it is very long and takes a while to get to the point. I forgot how preachy this book was until a reread. There is like 8 versions of same book.
