Description

Winner of the 2018 IPPY silver medal for Best Sci-Fi/Fantasy/Horror E-Book.

For thousands of years, Golem Mages ruled the volcanic mountain ranges of Ingleheim, but when Herrscher Heinrich declared himself Führer, he took measures to ensure he would be the last with the power to bend golems to his will.
Twenty year later, his regime uncovers the resting place of an Alpha Golem with the power to burn the life force out of anyone caught in its destructive gaze. Katja, a passionate Golem Expert, is tasked to help bring the Alpha under the Führer’s control. She is determined to keep it out of his murderous hands and has no choice but to team up with a nameless and faceless soldier, trained in the efficiently ruthless discipline of Steinkamp. A word synonymous with death.

The pair challenge immense power, but their most trying task is learning how to trust in a world where everyone is afraid of you—or wants to kill you.

This is a wonderful mix of Germanic culture and high fantasy, and I really enjoyed reading it.
It took me a few chapters to really get pulled in - I've not read any fantasy that has a decidedly German flavour before, and I found it a little jarring. I then spent time thinking that through - why do I find it jarring? I think it is because if that part of Europe is represented, it is often represented as a coal guzzling, industrial revolution style, semi modern context, and to read instead of a regular European flavour fantasy takes effort, but ultimately is very refreshing.
I also really enjoyed the golems. Who doesn't love golems!? It's wonderful to read more books about these mythic creatures, and whilst they are not at all close to the Judaic or Hebrew versions of golem, they bring some sense of that rich culture with them.
A very good, very nicely written tale of redemption, faith, and adventure, about overthrowing a tyrant and pursuing greatness.
Would recommend.

My critisicms are that the conversation between man and God did not have the gravity or depth that one might expect, but it was easily overlooked in the midst of the action!
