4.0

Roland Yeoman is an amazing writer, and that is evident from just the first sentence. He has a beautiful way with words that is poetic. His descriptions are vivid and artistic. Adding to Yeoman’s writing style is the stunning artwork at the beginning and the insightful quotes at the start of each chapter.

Before this story begins, Drew August (or Wolf Howl), was found in a park as a baby and was once wanted by the government for his mind, but when he refused to be bought, they wanted him dead. Now there are no governments... After the Mayan Prophesy of 2012, the world is coming to an end. Drew escaped by going sideways, an ability to bend pace he’s had from birth. Now Earth is in a different part of space where new rules apply and strange creatures exist.

With a woman named Shadow and a wizard named Nikola Tesla, Drew rescues an orphan girl named Abby, who was trained to be a killer. I liked Abby right way; her darkness, vulnerability, and strength. Her dialogue is perfect. I really enjoyed her sarcasm.

The four of them embark on a journey to save the world. An Egyptian god even makes an appearance, which I found quite fun. Suspense and moments of humor make up this unique story.

Note: There’s quite a bit of philosophical talk and thoughts in this story. I mention this only for the people who may not like that.
