Description
It's the mid-18th century and the world of Overmorrow is troubled by the mysterious condition, The Sepia, which causes sufferers to disappear to an unknown place, gone from the visible world.
Foxy Raine is working on her parents’ farm when her father, Almus, a prominent Handfacturing engineer, contracts the condition in Town; her world is shattered and she watches in horror as The Sepia slowly consumes him.
Foxy watches her father's last moments with her family as he disappears before their eyes like many others before him. She decides to channel her grief into discovering why this has happened. Her quest will take her around the world, where she will meet an array of people from different walks of life, confronting corruption and other social issues of the day, determined to make a difference.
Overmorrow is heavily influenced by Danny Boyle's 2012 London Olympic Opening Ceremony which formed the backdrop for a story which gradually began to write itself.
A Note From the Publisher
In his spare time Anselm plays instrumental hard rock guitar and writes quirky Christian metal songs.

Anselm Rajah has great potential to build on Overmorrow as the premise was exceptionally good.
The world of Overmorrow is overrun with a condition called the Sepia which causes people to disappear, gone from the known world. The strong FMC Foxy Raine's world is shattered when her father is consumed by the Sepia right before her eyes. Foxy embarks on a quest to establish why the Sepia is taking over and to hopefully, save her father
The only thing I struggled with at times was the dialogue and I was expecting more of a steampunk vibe, otherwise, the narrative is sound and the book has great potential
Thank you to NetGalley for the ARC of Overmorrow. My review is left voluntarily and all opinions are my own

I found this difficult to start, but once I did I had trouble putting it down! The plotline felt unique while still having all of the fantasy elements I enjoy. I would recommend this this to fantasy readers who like darker moodier reads

This uses the mid-18th century element perfectly and thought the overall story worked well. I could see the influences of the Olympic Opening Ceremony 2012. It had a great overall feel that I was hoping for and enjoyed from the genre. I thought the characters worked well in this world and enjoyed going on this story with them. Anselm Rajah does a great job in writing this and left me wanting to read more from him.
