Ugh, I have a feeling Mr. Maberry is going to rip out the heart of me that's an animal lover. Hate it, but he's not afraid to cut our emotional legs out from under us.

Holy hell, deep lore and wild bad guys.

Book 2 in progress, we'll see how the time jump and POV change works for me. Still curious where we are going, but I have an idea.

Now we're getting somewhere!

Holy bad guy reveal! WOW! Maberry really goes for it.

Man, book 2 and the bad guys are just evil. To what depths can Maberry go after this?!

The assumed bad guys in this one are seemingly completely deranged. I guess that's the point though.

I have a feeling that Church and Toys are going to end up being similar to Meical and Calidus from The Faithful and The Fallen series by John Gwynne. Completely different style of book, but based on what I'm reading, it is perhaps a similar character type. I hope I'll find out by the end of the book. Loving the book so far, super fast paced, like a sci-horror version of Mitch Rapp.

2 main characters so far, and very different goings on. I assume we'll get at least one more character and/or some kind of convergence. But we'll see. I've never read Mieville before so I might be all wrong.

Oh yeah, stakes are high! I know how it ends and the build up is making me nuts! The one comment by Michael about family to Nicodemus, pure gold.

Guessing at page count for now, but so far I'm blown away, partially at the writing but moreso the worldbuilding and tone. A solid part of my mind is screaming, "What the hell is going on here?!?!" That's usually a good thing

Octokongs!

Marcone sucks. Absolutely a fantastic character, but he just sucks.
