There isn’t a lot that I can say other than it wasn’t a book I was in to. I generally love a good vs evil, demon read but I just could get into this one. I know a lot of people enjoyed it and that’s great. I’m just not into many different worlds (planets) sci fi type read.

Chaotic is how I would describe this book. Everything in the book was in constant motion, with every chapter the scene would shift to a different planet and the characters would shift between them. I am quite marveled at how the author has managed to keep the pace of the narrative on an overdrive right from the beginning. But the book was a bit confusing and the reading required my undivided attention to keep track of the context. So was it a good book? Well yes, it was intriguing and unputdownable, now that I think of it. Nevertheless, a prologue to set the context or at least a key of the characters and others elements in the plot would have helped a lot.

Not for me, this one. Too many characters, none of whom I could bring myself to care about, and a plot which drags in just about every fantasy cliche. I struggled through it out of a sense of obligation but did not enjoy it. Having said that it's well written in a purely technical sense and I feel that if the author could appreciate that less is more and write a more character driven story it could be more successful.

Oof. This was super hard to read. Not only are there a LOT of characters, there are a lot of places in this universe. The author rapid-shifts between all of them. Plus, the beginning of this book has a newborn infant being found who's supposed to be a savior character--and then in the very next chapter, it jumps to 50 years later. But based on the activities of the character that seems to be the grown-up version of the newborn from chapter 1, he's clearly not 50. I don't know if I missed the explanation for that or what, but it bothered me for the entire book!

It also seems like the Seer character is in some 1800s version of their universe, because all of the clothing descriptions seem very in-line with that time period--heavy, voluminous skirts, dressing takes some time. But not ALL of the places in this universe are the same--I didn't get a good feel on who the characters were, what the worlds of this universe were like or what the characters themselves were like.

To add to all of that? It was pretty boring. I didn't know enough about the characters to care about any of them, there wasn't any one that I was rooting for. I wasn't ever invested in the story, because I didn't care about any of them. They all seemed somewhat unsympathetic==Elisabeth was the closest to likeable, but there wasn't ever a real connection with her. Just a general "Gosh, I hope she doesn't die." I hated picking this one up to finish reading it, but I felt obligated to finish to write this review.

I generally like Sci-Fi quite well, but this was just not good. I don't even want to read any more in this series.

Quite a dark book and I was never quite sure who I was supposed to be routing for. I suppose it says more about me than the book that I like to have someone who is 'good' that I can will on. A well written book, but not really my cup of tea

Elisabeth has grown up with a demon for a substitute father as her mother is dead. She is half human and half demon. She does her best to supress the half demon side of her. She has been trapped between the Netherworld and five planets due to her being half demon. Elisabeth is a seer who can love problems in other places that appear to be unsolvable. She is the only seer left as all other seers have been assassinated. When several keepers of the gates from other planets come calling, she decides that she will retrieve a princess that has been taken into the Netherworld. Will she be able to find and rescue her? She is assisted by a man named Ki who will makes sure she is safe while in the Netherworld. Ki is more than he appears to be and discovers within himself a mystery. Elisabeth must go to a planet called Hystera to solve the puzzle of people committing suicide. Will she make it to Hystera?

The author has written a fast paced novel with more than one storyline at the same time. It doesn’t confuse the reading of the book as the author has written it well. It is a novel that has me wanting to read the next book in this trilogy.
