I've encountered a writer that knows what trauma/insecurities to put in each main character, show the hardship, doesn't reveal easy fixes, but let's the rough emotion stretch, expose the damage and ever so slowly heal in steps, but enough to show the authentic truth of suffering and love....damn it hurts, but is oh so beautiful.

Chapter 47 - OMG!!! The raw emotions going through the Mcs, battling their deepest insecurities, not only with combat, CJ Astra lets them simmer and smolder in them, letting the reader explore their own wounds. He's showing the internal battles many face throughout their life, he doesn't lightly do it, he shows the true nature of what they do. Beautiful, emotional, authentic and not appreciated for what he's putting

Panic. A great word that has driven the whole plot, the scenarios, the choices.

Surprised!! Intrigued!! Scandalous!! Intense moment to intense moment, emotion to raw instinct, visceral!!

A history of violence, godfather, rambo: last blood...the title fits the story perfectly

The raw emotions are communicated so well. The environment of desperation, decisions made in the scope of the back against the wall. What would you do? So visceral and real, I'm in awe how much the sequence of events translate

Fast paced serious action, the pages are filled with the desperation, low points, the characters are making drastic choices, I'm loving it!!!

Pg. 36 Qoute with Fyodor in the presence of the elder, about Lying was very profound

Definitely a diamond that hasn't hit mainstream in the fantasy genre

Life changing

This book is a diamond waiting to be discovered, I considered it some of the best literature I would hold dear to my heart, with Hermann Hesse Steppenwolf, Haruki Murakami Norwegian Wood, TJ Lombardi the Dying Breed Series, this is a book that is making an impact in my life, very transformative. Emotional intelligence, grief, philosophical fantasy literature, I would recommend to everyone for the impact it could make

Page 60 sheds light on the hope of a healing journey 🤞

It's really hitting the emotional depth from the beginning, has the philosophical pearls of wisdom I enjoy
