This probably just went over my head.

After browsing through new sci-fi books, i decided to give this book a chance. I admit partly because i liked the cover that evokes an Aztec theme.
I wasn't disappointed at all. I really liked the multiple storylines that are intertwined across space and time(and perhaps across some other dimensions) and the dark, gritty mood. If you are lover of Aztec, Virtual Realty, Biopunk and Cyberpunk themes(the author did manage to pull these together coherently and without being cliche or cheesy) you should give it a try. Very quick and enjoyable read. It being the first book of the author, i really enjoyed the amateur(by no means sloppy) vibe and the author's will to accomplish more. I will be on the lookout for more of Eren Morgul's material.

It is a quite different, yet strangely interesting and mysterious book. At first, it might seem a bit confusing but as you keep reading, it gets rather intriguing.

There are various stories which appear to be irrelevant at first but as the stories go on, mysteries unravel and you start to make connections between all the stories. The author made pretty good job with those connections and that was what made me get into this book.

The author is seems to be a new one but I think he has quite potential. I definitely recommend you to give it a try!

Quite a mystery indeed... There are a number of fascinating stories; all well written.. It sucked me in until I finished it in just a couple of days. Science fiction elements are intriguing and connections between the stories are well thought out. These connections aren’t always obvious, so it was fun trying to figure them out or be surprised by them.
I highly recommend this book. It was a fast read, which I prefer. Without giving too much away, seems to me like these stories are part of a much larger universe... so hopefully there will be a sequel or a series.

A strange and twisty book that I quite enjoyed. It's definitely odd and hard to pin down at first, but I enjoy a bit of confusion that makes me work for the finished puzzle.
