I was really surprised I enjoyed this book as much as I did. I’ve had mixed results with urban fantasy and this came at the right time with the right energy that I needed to appreciate the genre. 

In this world, Atlantis is real and was shrouded in mystery and magic until space travel. After humans figured out what was there and what was going on a war happened and Atlantis fell but moved to an island off of CT. Odd choice, but I’m here for it. The Atlantean culture is ruled by families that were the inspiration for the Major Arcana in Tarot. 

This series follows Rune Sun, the last of the Sun family and he’s now a mercenary for hire and known to be good at what he does. He’s barely getting by and doesn’t have a lot of answers to the tragedies of his past. 

Edwards does a really great job with world building here. My one complaint would be there’s too many characters to keep up with. Other than that, he manages well building the lore, the characters, and the world. 

I enjoyed the lead and the story that was being told and immediately picked up the second one.
