Legacy

by Jon Wasik

For days, Chris Tatsu has been plagued by bizarre dreams of gargoyles, magic, and the ghost of his sister. Shaken, he tries to brush them off, desperate to finish his last college final and move on with his life. "Magic isn't real," or so he reminds himself every single morning.

And then the dreams come true, thrusting him into a 4,000 year old conflict between the Sentinels, guardians of a mystical Barrier surrounding Earth, and the Babylonian demigod Nabu, who seeks to dismantle the Barrier. If Nabu succeeds, magic will return to the Earth for the first time in millennia, bringing chaos and monsters of old back.

But it gets worse. If the Barrier should fall, a soul-hungry god is set to prey upon all of humanity.

About the author

Jon Wasik is the author of the Sword of Dragons fantasy/adventure series and the urban fantasy series Chronicles of the Sentinels. But where, dear readers, did all this begin? And where is it all going?

For as long as he can remember, Jon has been a story teller - ever since he was first enamored by children's fantasy books. Then came the Hobbit, Star Wars EU, and Star Trek novels, on top of all of the movies and TV shows he could watch. That right there was a recipe for an active imagination and a love of all things fantasy and sci-fi. Add to that the growing number of fantasy and sci-fi video games, and, well, his imagination just never stops. All of that combined with a love of story telling and the written word, and his fate was sealed.

It also means he's a geek, and proud of it! You might find him dressed in a costume at a convention or a renaissance festival, you'll definitely find him at the movies, or you might catch him streaming video games! There's also a fair bit of hiking, exploring new places, checking out museums and zoos. Oh and writing. A lot of writing.

As for where this is all going? Well, you know what River Song says - "Spoilers."

Sort of enjoyed the mystery and adventure in this one. Legacy kept me mildly curious and had me thinking about destiny, purpose, and what we leave behind.

Sorry, I hate to DNF, but at 44% I just have to stop. I always appreciate a free book, and I generally enjoy sci-fi/fantasy of all types. So thank you to Goodreads for the giveaway, but this book really isn't very good. The writing is unsophisticated. The main character is insufferable. His internal monologue is whiny, bratty, and immature. The other characters don't come across much better and almost every character interaction reads like a kid playing with action figures making them talk the way children think adults talk... but adults don't actually talk that way or relate to each other like that. The premise was interesting but I just couldn't make myself continue to read this book, every page felt like a chore.
