"John, an unstable detective living in an alternate future, is plagued by hallucinations of a malevolent, shapeshifting entity that haunted his childhood. While he struggles to maintain his grip on reality, he soon discovers that his world is a terrifying illusion designed to make him suffer. Surreal, horrifying, and unflinchingly brutal – enter a world of blood and fear. Enter the Sister Verse.
The Sister Verse and the Talons of Ruin is the first book in a series of four that explores the realms of Lovecraftian horror, epic fantasy, and science fiction through an action-packed narrative of unrestrained psychedelic violence.
This book contains scenes of extreme gore that may be unsuitable for some readers."
Okay this book lost me during the third chapter when it went from Lovecraftian horror to an all-out intergalactic war. No, I'm not kidding! 🤯
The writing was okay. The one thing I really had a problem with was the fact that there is no roller coaster in this book. There is like zero down time. From the very beginning it takes you up and it doesn't let you down until the end. For me personally this made me feel overwhelmed and frustrated and almost like a sensation that I couldn't breathe because there was just so much action happening. It is literally non-stop.
The premise of the book is extremely interesting and just about the wildest thing I think I've ever read. I haven't been this weirded out by a book since I read John Dies at the End. I seriously feel like my brain has been sucked out of my ears! 🤤
This book also definitely has a LOT of gore. Which I totally don't mind but I'm sure there are others who would if they were reading this book without warning. This book is extremely graphic and the gore is very sadistic in manner.
Did I mention there's a lot of action in this one? Yeah there's a LOT of action in this one! 😂
Okay so as weird as this book was, would I recommend it? I definitely would to the right person. but I don't think I would recommend this book to everyone.… (more)
