About this listen
In the year 2047, Lochlan takes the bus to his soul-sucking job answering phones to remain unnoticed. Life is easier that way. Little attachment. Few friends. That means less people caught in the crossfire when he loses control again.
The last time he came close to losing it was when he was around Zemila. That was five years ago, just before he disappeared. That was why he disappeared. He’s good at that. Disappearing. Resettling. Being overlooked.
That is, until the visions started. Prophetic visions.
That’s when he knew the Old World had found him.
These weren’t the fun kind of visions…if there were such a thing. They were the watch-people-die kind, the try-to-stop-it-before-it-happened kind, the maybe-save-some-lives kind. He thought the visions were his redemption. A redemption he didn’t believe he deserved. When one of them led him to Zemila, he thought it meant he wasn’t a danger to her anymore. That he wasn’t a danger to anyone anymore.
Power attracts enemies. Lochlan thought he’d learned this lesson.
He was wrong. Wrong about the visions. Wrong about everything. And it was going to cost him.
Him and everyone he loved.

So he finally get some redemption signs in the form of dreams, about people to save apparently. But it's not a thriller, we are not following a true investigation, we are following signs, myths and prophecy, sprinkled with irish folklore and mythos while also following the day to day life of Lochlan and his surprising rich socialising life with his friends. Never would have though tech support would earn so much in the US. The author also try to subvert most trope in this story.
It's not the most amazing story of the year, by far, and the MC passivity make me want to smash him, but at least it got me intersted in the following, since it is apparently the introduction for a more epic story. Technically the narrator is good, but since there is alsoa female narrator for the last chapter, I don't understand why she is not voicing all the female characters too.
Cool story

This book had me from the first few chapters to the very end. It’s not often I read for longer then an hour at a time but I read this in 2 days. (My quickest read yet!) (adhd I can’t focus to long)
The story follows Lochlan our main character who begins the story telling you about his past before slowly exposing his Celtic roots and what he is. And the story develops in a linear fashion introducing characters as they are needed and giving a full sense of who they are and why we need them in our story.
The narration of each of the main characters was perfect. You got a good sense of how deep they understand one another and trust one another.
The story has its twists and turns and it has a passion behind the story it has depth.
All in all a really easy read I loved the fact the last chapter is read from another characters perspective and I can’t wait to read the next one in the series
Easy read and enjoyable
