I was pleasantly surprised by this novel. The story is told from various perspectives as the mankind’s age as the dominant species flickers to an end. This is a fast paced, action packed story that will keep you turning pages. At many times I caught myself picturing it as an excellent graphic novel. If you like origin stories or superhero stories (with a good mix of violence) than you will definitely enjoy this one.I will say that there were a few places where the story slowed slightly or the dialogue got a little in its own way, but overall I thoroughly enjoyed it.  Perhaps my favorite section involved the channels (elemental beings). The descriptions were vividly painted and the action scenes involving them were entirely captivating. I really hope the author continues to explore this component of the plot in the sequel. I could have read an entire novel based on just that one species.The novel has everything, Vampires, Were-beasts, Elementals/Channels, and even Cyborgs. The cyborg story-line was my least favorite, but was still thoroughly entertaining (again all of this would be great source material for a fantastic graphic novel series). I am really looking forward to the sequel!
