Summary
The world's end was his beginning.
Whole chunks of earth are withering away from the mainland and falling into the sea. Natural disasters are claiming thousands of lives. Prayers are no longer answered by gods. Prayers are answered by machines and the Time Fathers of Panagea.
Nicholai Addihein, one of the eight ruling Time Fathers, struggles to save the lives of his people. After a single moment of misunderstood treason, he must also save his own.
While running from the wrath of Panagea's other Time Fathers, Nicholai lands in peculiar company. Can a fabled immortal, a crew of societal rejects, and a silver-haired woman with a mysterious past breathe life back into a world on the brink of death?
With all of existence at stake, Nicholai and the others prepare to fight until their last breath to change the fate of Panagea. Who would ever guess that success might be just as fatal as failure?

Review
I thoroughly enjoyed this fantastic book. The story showcases a world that although imagined, mirrors our own in how truly great it can be and how utterly horrible. Its filled with greed and generosity, cruelty and mercy; fanatisism and selflessness; love and hate; all woven into characters that grip your heart and doesnt let go, characters that are wonderfully human, good , bad and everything in-between. I enjoyed every minute often dreading what would come next ( in a good way).
Appreciation to the narrator for bringing the characters to life with his voice changes and use of speeding up / slowing down the text to create effect.
I cant wait for the next instalment in the Panagea story.

A unique and intriguing world
I requested a copy of this book to review because of the world hinted at in the summary. This is not a traditional fantasy world, it is a distopian capitalistic technocracy led by the time fathers, and that is not an honorary title, without them time physically stops.
Nature has had to make way for industry and the continent suffers for it, with people having to take injections to protect themselves from pollution and oxygen deprivation. Magic and gods still exist in this world, although there is little room for them on the continent.
The book is well narrated and my only criticism would be that the source of the time fathers power is never really explained (in this book) leaving you wondering why people who purport to shun magic aparently use it habitually to keep time running.

“Sorrys make no sense in death”
I enjoyed this book and would definitely like to know what happens next!
It was a great story but I found myself asking a lot of World questions that aren’t answered in the book... maybe they will be in the next ones.
Gerard tells the story well, but I didn’t gel with his pacing/annunciation as much as I’d have liked.
This is my honest opinion of a free review copy.
