This particular novel is one of the best-sellers in the sci-fi and fantasy category and the reviews from other readers are good. Not that I usually care what others think, but this time I did take note of the reviews and the fact that it had received 4, 8 out of five stars.

The setting is in the future, the earth has shifted on its axis and wiped out most of the human race, some that survived find they have developed powers that they must hide. Witch hunters are on a mission to destroy them in the name of God. This is a tale of a dark and eerie future where beasts, witches and demons roam the earth, blood sacrifices are made to obtain knowledge of enemies or to gain strength in battle. Myths, legends and religious beliefs are interwoven in this apocalyptic future.

"David H. Burton is a dark new talent in the genre. This one will make you leave the lights on for a week! " - USA Today Bestseller, Cathy Clamp.

Okay I didn't leave the lights on and I slept just fine after reading this online novel. Maybe my mind was colored by the great reviews from others, maybe I was expecting too much.

I was getting distracted, my mind  library of heaven's path wandered and thoughts of other things and places entered my brain, some words triggered pictures and scenes not relevant to this story. Confederation, dark cloaked man, Star Wars and a heavy breathing "Vader" enters the stage. Haven, Sanctuary, what does Amanda Tapping have to do with anything? How original, a wolf called Fang.

It just couldn't hold my attention, I do really love a good fantasy story, but it felt as if the author was trying too hard. The ideas where good, there were just too many of them in my opinion, and the POV's (point of views), I do realize that it's impossible to tell a story of this nature without having several POV's, with so many different characters, the reader needs to know what's going on in the minds of each of them; however, I felt there were too many breaks, jumping from POV to POV it didn't flow naturally.

At times I'd stumble over a word that felt out of place, something that just didn't feel right. I know you probably think I'm being too critical, all novels have flaws. Yes they do, the thing is, if you're wrapped up in a great story your mind won't notice, it doesn't care, it doesn't stop to ponder, it keeps moving forward.

All in all, I'd say it was a good story, but a little thin at times.

Anyway, I'm a reader not a critic, you will have to read it and decide for yourself, I'm of to discover more online novels to read.
