Each powerhouse (other than America) has secluded themselves since the nuclear strike. However, they all want those that can wield magic. However, Celestials that previously only minorly influenced people's decisions are playing an active role. Those that want to escape and those that want the world to continue as it always have. If the Celestials escape the world will stop spinning, literally. Can one group of people stop the end of the world before it's too late?
I received a copy of this eBook from the author in exchange for an honest review. I love fantasy books and while there are "celestials" in this book they are in no way religious. Which I adored. Another interesting concept is not only do only a few people have magical abilities, but those who have magic can only use it in areas where ley lines cross.
It was an interesting change from being able to do magic no matter where you are. There is a little bit of everything in this book. Action, adventure, and even some romance (of all types). The combination of languages versus the traditional French was interesting, although it was just discussed versus seeing it. Wouldn't matter if we did see it anyways considering I know very little of Spanish or French. Let alone putting the two together. This book is primarily set in France with some instances in Antarctica, Russia, Africa, and Canada. The weird thing is that other than being mentioned in passing for having a particle collector it is like America ceased to exist 40 years prior.
Each of the romances in this book is unique and offers something unexpected. Be it traditional, or something new (at least something I haven't come across before). There is something a bit confusing to me. Zenya was a big part of this story. At the beginning we are told he has the ability to change his appearance, yet he struggles with an aspect of himself. If it bothered him so much why wouldn't he change it? I'm not saying he needed to change himself. I just mean that since it bothered him so much and he had the ability to I don't know why he never considered it.
I enjoyed each aspect of this book. From the characters as they learn about their abilities to the battle between good and evil. We even get more details on the background nuclear strike which is great since it starts as a bit of a mystery. Once you hit the halfway point the book really picks up and becomes fast paced. This book does end on a bit of a cliffhanger and based on what I seen on Amazon there are no further books in the series at this time. Hopefully in the future.
