Gameboard of the Gods
Age of X Book One
By RIchelle Mead
In the future the world was nearly
destroyed by religious extremist so now religion is outlawed and treated as fictitious. Justin March was a servitor whose job is was
to investigate claims of paranormal activity and ensure that the religions
followed strict guidelines; however he was sent into exile following an event
that forever changed his life. One day Mae Koskinen, warrior elite for the
Republic of United North America, comes bearing a message that will allow
Justin back into the civilized world and redeem his name.
Gameboard of the Gods is an amazing
science fiction novel mixed with paranormal fantasy. The characters are complex
yet blend together wonderfully as their relationship grows into something
adjacent to a friendship. I absolutely enjoyed Mae’s storyline, not that Justin’s
wasn’t excellent as well, from her past as a debutante into the present as the
warrior she has become and the losses she has faced in her life it is intricate
and wonderful to follow along as her character develops and the story
progresses. Richelle Mead has done a wonderful job with this book and though she
is known for her young adult series she has seamlessly taken over the adult
world with her new novel. With action packed scenes and tantalizing “steamy”
scenes it’s sure to have a little bit of something for everyone. This book is highly original and definitely
worth the read.
