BLURB:

On a bright August day, the sun disappears. 

Sam van Oen barely escapes freezing to death in his house, as his watch stops and fire ceases to burn. He is pulled into the Nether—a nexus between ten alien cultures—where he meets Rilan and Origon, two maji who can control the musical foundation of the universe. While coping with anxiety attacks prompted by his new surroundings, Sam must learn to hear and change the Symphony, and thus reality, in order to discover what happened to his home. 

But more freezing voids like the one that started his journey are appearing, and Sam’s chances of getting back are fading. The Assembly of Species is threatening to dissolve and the maji are being attacked by those they protect, while rumors grow of an ancient, shape-changing species of assassins, returning to wage war. 

The Dissolution is coming 

REVIEW:

For all you sci-fiers out there, this is a good book for you. Full of all different kinds of species, all different kinds of genders, different worlds, a certain type of ‘magic’, and so much more. And in the middle, a poor human boy, thrown into a world he has no idea what the hell happening with or to him. 

Sam was just trying to do his homework at home with his aunt, when all of a sudden the house became so cold and the power went out. He tried to make fire to save him and his aunt, but he passed out from cold. When he came to, she was dead and the flames were calling to him to hold on to them. Next thing he knows, he’s been pulled through a portal to another world, Galaxy and all. They can’t even find Earth or the Milky Way on the map his mentor has. So he’s stuck. The magi that pulled hm through, takes him on as an apprentice and once Sam gets a grasp of the ‘magic’ they use, it becomes clear he’s super powerful. But he’s also been dropped in the middle of a conspiracy. A faction is trying to basically take over the world and wipe everyone out. Hence all the drains happening and killing people. With the help of his friends and mentors, they try to figure it all out but it’s so hard when they keep getting captured or kidnapped. But now the big ‘event’ is happening, a friend is kidnapped and Sam has just done something impossible. But how do they fix everything else before everyone dies?

Man if I was Sam, I’d be having more panic attacks than he’s been having. Holy hell. There’s just stuff coming at them from every angle. Secrets are being found out, betrayals from everywhere, lies being spread, all in hopes of starting a war for a coalition that is basically pure evil. The portals they travel to many worlds and dimensions are only adding to the puzzles they have to figure out. It’s a mess.

But it’s one hell of a book. I love these characters. There are so many things represented in this book. It’s amazing. It’s so many things in one book. Sci-fi, mystery, murder mystery, thriller…..just so much packed in this book. I loved it. You guys should give it a try for sure.
