I have read this book and I have to say that. Am really confused mostly ?...it's dark, it's gritty, but since the author has yet to really start the story, he kinda introduces all the characters and the stakes at hand...I failed to see the angle at which he is playing at...And unlike his first one...where you could see the lack of skill, there has been a massive improvement in this one...and he has shown that he is taking this as seriously as possible. The story has elements of gods, eldritch monstrosities...(though that's speculation on my part, considering title and everything) it has elements of occult templates, political struggle between noble houses, the seven deadly sins (well nine from his synopsis) and I can't wait to see wat he is going to weave for us as the story unfolds....for now with the few chapters he has shown us... I have seen 'pride' as the main theme...and I believe that's the theme for volume one . Idk how he is to manipulate everything but I trust him.Well there was some lust and desire....??...but he promised it was all for the plot.And lastly the main character who I just realised was Krael at the beginning of chpt 10......I see how he is not just a brooding character who chooses to be edgy....he has a story, just like any other character. Though I feel his conviction with how pride affects him and the consequences he has paid for foolish pride and refusing to accept the contract.....and I hope I see more of this....Nice work Author...keep it up I will be here with u all they way
