Shattered Lines – The Faultlines Series: Grimstone 1

Spice Level: 🌶🌶

Once a cosmic force, now a weary human, Ksenia must confront her past and protect a teenage girl from the impending apocalypse she unwittingly caused.

Shattered Lines

I used to be something unfathomable to the human mind. Something more than a mere god. Something beyond a cosmic horror. I was the spark of everything and now I’m Ksenia, a pitiful human in a world with no magic and it’s my fault.

Two hundred years and two reincarnations ago, I bound magic to the leylines to stop the humans from killing all those who possessed the ability to use magic. It stopped up all the magic except that which allows for life to continue. Now, humans have grown more stupid – more violent, thinking they’re the apex predators or whatever. I really don’t care anymore. I just want to be left alone.

Except the world is ending and somehow a human teenager has found herself mixed up in it. I might hate being human, but I can’t let a kid take the brunt of punishment for something that’s my fault.

★★★★★
This book has so many aspects of fantasy that we love but it didn’t follow the usual overdone paths.

What I loved about this book was the characters. Ksenia is complex and well rounded and I’m looking forward to reading more about her. A great debut with great potential for a wider series!
