In the world of Myrillia the gods live amongst men; their excretions so filled with the essence of magic that they are collected to fuel magical processes and engines. They can also die amongst men, and when one is slain suspicion falls upon a man. Tylar de Noche, once a Shadowknight, now a broken husk, is branded Godslayer and pursued by the order that cast him out. Possessed of a god's magical essence and with a demon imprisoned within him, Tylar and his few friends must solve the mystery of the slain god to clear his name.

I was excited about starting this book. An unknown author, an unknown title. It also felt good in my hands and smelled like a real book should.

There aren't many books I've had to drag myself through, this was one of them.

I didn't get engaged with the characters, the plot or the world. I could barely tell you their names now.

I think there was too much too soon, characters and gods and Knights and conflict and demons and boats PLUS a character subplot to tackle. Saying that, the side plot was the one part I found enjoyable; Dart's story is everything that the rest of the book could have been. 

As far as reviews go-this one doesn't say much. But I really didn't enjoy reading the book at all

 (the same feeling of disappointment at Stephen Kings Gunslinger)
