Nullform #4

Nullform #4

by Dem Mikhailov

If you are at the very bottom, you should not be thinking about hanging on tight so as not to fall any further, but about climbing higher. Step by step, but higher. There is no other way in this cruel world.

Elb and his team know this, and their path leads upwards, towards those who look down on Drainagetown from a height and spit on the heads of its inhabitants. They call themselves the Spiders, and they do not allow strangers into their domain. Yet if your timing is right, it is possible to take a sure step upwards. Mind you, it is only a step, for Elb is not planning to stop. His aim is to discover the secrets of this world and understand why he was created.

Memories. They are coming back to our hero more frequently now, with snatches of his past life, but so far with no answers to his questions. Yet come what may, Elb will get his answers, and he will go to any lengths to achieve his aim. And those who stand in his way will drown in their own blood.

Read the latest installment in this RealRPG saga by Dem Mikhailov, author of the legendary “Clan Dominance: The Sleepless Ones” series, and creator of the shadowy new world of the Nullform.

This one had a few extra bits that felt harder to get into BUT that may be my own mental focus burn out so I'm erring towards the original planned 4 star

SO much is going on,
New denizens of these messy depths;
A hunt for a totem of power;
Unlikely allies, and likely enemies;
And more hints into where the flaws in Mother may be.

I did get frustrated with Elb's behavior early on but he eventually stopped being a dbag to his teammates later on so that helped.

Excited for book 5 as the suspense of the ending is rough!
