I'd probably give this a 3.75, but 4 star is close enough.
I enjoyed the concept, and the action kept me interested. I wanted to finish reading even when my ADHD brain got distracted, which is a feat in itself. The multiple POV was hard to get a handle on at first, and sometimes I'd be like, "Wait a second, who are we now?" But after a bit, I fell into the rhythm.
I'm still not 100% on who the bad guy was. I really enjoyed Auburn's character, so here's to hoping it's not him lol.
I enjoyed this enough that I'll read more!

I'm going to decline to rate this cause I only got about a quarter of the way into the book and just couldn't bring myself to care. Maybe someone would enjoy this very strange book, but honestly, it was just weird. And it felt like it should have been in first person perspective not third person.

We met Rick at Indy Comic Con and he was a cool dude.
I had a lot of fun reading this book - an urban fantasy where secret societies like the Illuminati unleash demons on earth, and the only people brave enough to stop them is a ragtag group of rebels.
There are a lot of characters, some unnecessary, which made some scenes confusing and hard to remember, and some clunky writing, but I had fun and I’m going to definitely read the sequel.

It’s a vaguely anarcho-socialist take on the Dresden Files. The prose is mediocre and the plot was too choppy to enjoy.

Not to my taste, complex dark urban fantasy with vague political references. Note some content language and violence

The Seventh Age: Dawn was a fantastic read. While I am a huge fan of the action scenes (who doesn’t like reading about demons and vampires tearing each other apart in new and creative ways?!), what really kept me glued to the book were the layers of complexity Heinz created within the factions and underworld politics – I can’t wait to see where the sequels will take the story.
