Description
The powerful machines that once ruled over land and sky are gone, leaving humanity in a state of primitive fear. Only legends of the Schism remain.
Enoch has never been frightened by these tales. He sees things differently than the other youth in Rewn's Fork, and that makes him an outcast. Where others see crops, weather, and flocks of sheep, Enoch sees numbers and patterns.
When he accidentally awakens a powerful Artificial Intelligence, he discovers the truth behind his peculiarity-Enoch is an Etherwalker, the last in a long line of powerful technopaths who can control machines with their minds.
Without knowing it, he has triggered the ancient Hunt, and now ancient monsters are hungry for his blood and bent on his extinction. They know he has seen the truth behind the broken world, and, if he survives, he may have the power to shatter it... or to make it whole again.

Thanks, Netgalley and Publisher for the opportunity to read and review!
It was a strange experience, basically because it merges steampunk, sci-fi and fantasy elements without focusing too much on neither of them. But that's what makes it unique. Truly intriguing, imaginative and rich world-building. I also liked the cast of characters, although there wasn't a greater exploration of their inner world. Still they were nicely presented and well rounded up. I enjoyed the book quite a lot! It doesn't grip you emotionally, but definitely sets your mind ablaze with its rich imaginative world.. It is visible what efforts the author has put into creating it, so I'm expecting even greater things in the future.
Interesting premise set in a future dystopian world. We did enjoy the story and characters but did feel that it could have had a bit more depth and background on the world and players within it. Perhaps that is being saved for the next book. A decent read, not our favourite by that's all down to personal preference.
