Infertat
Fallen angels take residence in Infertat’s Golden City after their banishment from Verdigrid. Lucifer and his kin establish their rule over the city’s human inhabitants as a symbol of defiance to the Eternal and angelic army that cast them down. They gather humans without any magical abilities and put them to hard manual labor in the slums across the Chasm. These slums are home to Priya, a young woman who discovers a secret within herself which can hinder Lucifer’s plans and help the human resistance take back their city from the daemons. That is, if she can take control of the hungry beast within herself.
Sul is an ambitious magus in the Golden City, Zack has just gotten accepted to a prestigious Ivy League university in New York City. Azul has never been happy with his life in Verdigrid and Sammael, the angel of death, a keeper of the balance feels uneasy.
Seemingly unrelated, many threads of fate run parallel to one another. It is only a matter of time until they converge and hold the fate of the worlds in their hands.

Wow. I just spent all day and night Saturday, and Sunday morning, reading this amazing tale. I was off in another world! If you like well-written fantasy, you'll probably love this book. And the illustrations provide an extra special touch. It was all so amazing, moody, and surreal. It's going to take me a day to return to reality!

Not going to attempt writing a non biased review of my own book. That would just be weird; but I also feel weird to leave an empty space where my thoughts usually go.
Going to fill it out with text without much meaning.
Although!!! Infertat is awesome.

Ok, space is no longer empty. Moving on now.

Infertat has some good concepts within it. It mixes some real world characters, some fantasy magical characters, and angels/demons characters. There are some good plot elements too. Some of the best is where the real world character interacts with certain characters from the magic world. The unfortunate thing is that the story lacks structure and good pacing.
There are a lot of characters the book follows around but I'm not exactly sure who's important all the time. There are a couple characters in the fantasy world, and that the plot summary addresses, that aren't really focused on or explained as to what makes one of them so awesome apart from the other magical people. The attempt to tie the characters together doesn't happen in this book and sets it up for a sequel. The problem is that the story in this book is building only and even that it takes a long time to do so. The Fall from Heaven is done well and although it could have done without inter-cutting other stories from the current timeline to it, it's interesting and deals with a lot of questions you would have about what the Fall might have looked like. And yet, the take over of the magic realm isn't covered really at all or why a magic realm exists. The rules of the world are hard to gather from the story and there are parts that needed some more explanation to build the world. Some of the Bible references were accurate (and if the author wants an example of Christians reading the whole Bible, there are quite a few) and using some of the known demons and Grim Reaper images were a nice touch.
That is not to say the book is terrible. I enjoyed it enough for the time I put into it. It probably didn't need to be as long as it was and it could have used that free up space to at least get through the conflict that the plot sets up. If the plot sounds interesting to you, which there's more to it then what's written here, and you're ok waiting for a possible sequel then you might like it. It was ok. Final Grade - C-

I liked the beginning of this story,but by the end I just wanted it to be over.There are angels and demons and 'hexes',which I think are people.Every month people are tested by jumping over a crevass with a monster under.If they make it 'YAY",if not they die.People that make it are free,but are they really? I don't know.Narration by Sean Duregger was excellent.I was given this book free by the author,narrator or publisher for an honest review.

Wildly imaginative and by juggling story lines through Earth, Infertat (a fantasy realm/city inhabited by demons, mages and humans) and Verdigrid (the heavenly realm) it's so easy to get immersed into the story and characters. Now I only have one problem....what's going to happen next?! I hope this is a series that continues.
