Description

The final chapter in T. Frohock's haunting and lyrical Los Nefilim novella trilogy--following In Midnight's Silence and Without Light or Guide--which bestselling author Mark Lawrence has called "a joy to read." Save the world, or save his family... For Diago Alvarez, that's the choice before him. For unless he wants to see his son Rafael die, he must do the unthinkable: Help the Nazis receive the plans to the ultimate weapon. And while Diago grows more comfortable not only with his heritage, show more but also with his place among Guillermo's Los Nefilim, he is still unsure if he truly belongs amongst them. In a frantic race to save the future of humanity, Diago is forced to rely on his daimonic nature to deceive an angel. In doing so, he discovers the birth of a modern god--one that will bring about a new world order from which no one can escape.   show less

This third novella completes the story arc, and wow. It feels like the full climax of a novel. Action and emotion, start to finish. Frohock has a masterful way of delicately weaving in deep sentiments without it being saccharine. The setting of 1930s Spain is full of dark potential, and the magic is dark as well. The tale is strengthened by the lovely relationship between Diago and his partner Miquel and Diago's newfound son, Rafael.
It's really not fair when an author uses a music/sound based magic system, because all my objective thinking goes out the window and I just throw all my emotional guts at it.. Just take the damn stars *huff*.. Hehehe.. :) I'm doing a thing, I'll update this when the thing is complete.
96 points, 5 stars!

I put together a review for the omnibus on my blog, keikii eats books.
