The Last Watch by J.S. DewesMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Really enjoyed this first book by a new and talented author. Special thanks to NetGalley for a digital galley, this is not a paid review.
JS Dewes rocks! How could you not be intrigued by a book billed as a cross between Game of Thrones and The Expanse.
First, I feel it’s better than the Expanse. More depth in the story building and history for me. Plus you have to live a book with monarchies, Titans and Sentinels!
In TLW, we are introduced to the Divide. The end of space. Nothing but pure blackness. Shops have been tasked with holding station to make sure that the dreaded Viators, who attacked humanity in a centuries long war, never appear and are able to give warning and fight if need be. The problem? Most of these ships are staffed with outcasts and miscreants. Except the SCS Argus, whose Excubitor is Adequin Rake. She is a badass Titan war hero who has served for 5 years after defeating the Viators. What’s a war hero doing at the edge of nothing you ask? I can’t tell you or tell you about the newest recruit, Cavalon Mercer, royalty who has been exiled, and not just any royalty but the heir. But, is super smart and a little too royal for his own good.
Everything is it’s boring old self except for the occasional time ripple where you just might see what you are doing a few minutes from now before you do it. That is until the Divide starts moving toward the Argus annihilating everything in it’s path.. but no one back home seems to care.
This book is well worth the read with plenty of imaginative tech and storylines.. looking forward to book 2!
