Free from his shattered cage, Avo goes from prey to predator as he continues to nurse his growing apotheosis.
With the Crucible overcome and the Syndicate defied, Avo turns from evasion to infiltration in the quest for answers – and retribution. With his Necrojacking capabilities restored, he delves the depths of the Nether. Greater shadows move in the backdrop, their fingers slowly closing around him.
But no more is Avo just an instrument in another's game, a weapon to be used and spent for someone else’s dreams. The fire of godhood has been lit within him.
His hunger will not be denied.

Amazing world building and turns of phrase, really fascinating 'magic' system, and basically everything but the characters and what they do is really, really interesting. Ended up dropping after a multi chapter fight scene that was really just a spar.
This series would do well to get some basic descriptions of what things actually look like. The series talks about heavens, ghosts, infiltrating minds, etc etc etc. Unfortunately, absolutely nothing is described in a way that would let someone visualize what is actually happening/occurring.
The characters interesting and I feel like I was interested in the story... But like, it was still an exceedingly difficult read due to the inability to actually visualize most of the stuff going on... Maybe its me 🤷
Either way, I think I am probably done with the series. Which kindof sucks since I feel like I should have liked this.
A stunning follow-up to an already excellent first volume. This series gives me everything I want from dystopian cyber/biopunk. The characters are compelling and unique, the setting and world-building is diabolical and delicious, the vernacular is intriguing and mysterious. This series deserves recognition beyond science-fiction, beyond progression fantasy.
Cyber magic setting that records in neon detail the madness spawned in tribalistic hominids promised apotheosis and the utterly pointless slaughter that immediately and continuously results
Things get more interesting in book 2 but unfortunately for me the complexity of [everything] got out of hand and just kinda climbed on up the book's own dark place and snuggled in there and I got _bored_.
