The Bright Abyss

4.5 Rounded to 5

I am blown away that this is a debut! It seems I am finding a lot of hidden gems lately and I am NOT complaining!

Throughout the story there is a wave of nostalgia as this has serious vibes of Star Wars (which happens to be one of my all-time favorites). The writing, characters and world-building...amazing.

You follow Jeremiah as he learns more about who he is and where his destiny lies. Along the way he picks up a rag-tag crew of friendly, yet incapatible quest-mates. There's danger. There's evil. A secret weapon that could save the universe. Battles, deaths, heartache, fears overcome...hope. Man this has it all.

The ending though ... I'm hanging on by a thread right now
