Translation riddled with errors. Main character bland as hell and dumb of ass, and not in an endearing way.
Most interesting action Arty takes is tokill a man halfway through the book but it is never mentioned again. Otherwise he exists purely for other characters to order around and use for their own purposes.
Most fascinating aspect happensat the very end with the truth(?) about dark ones and the possibility of following up that story with anything is immediately ruined lol.
Lots of potential here to more fully flesh out the world. For example: what the hell are women doing here while all the men get murked by each other and mutant horrors? Extreme paucity of even Mentioning Women at all in this story, and they clearly have absolutely no relevance to any of the plot or even the existence of humanity aside from having children I guess. I want to know what they're doing. No women characters have a plot or a goal or any characterization other than being pretty, or frail, or old and shrill, or squealing like pigs.
Do not recommend.
