Catalyst by Brandon Crilly

3.0

Catalyst is perfect for readers who enjoy imaginative world-building and immersive fantasy/sci-fi adventure. This book is about friendship, trust, faith, secrets, and just the casual task of STOPPING THEIR WORLD GOING BAD. I was really impressed with Crilly's level of detail in the world he has created. How does this airship work, you ask? Brandon's got it covered. Really, the setting was VERY COOL, I loved the post-apocalyptic vibe- cloudless skies, Windroutes, glass domes to grow produce, god-like MONSTER THINGS, that place where you *MIGHT* fall off the edge but who knows. I loved the main characters, especially Mavrin the magician, Eyasu and Aulina. I enjoyed their witty quips and friendship. I would definitely liked to have seen more of Aulina in the book. If you're smarter than me you'll love the complex storyline though I must admit I personally got a bit lost at times. Overall this is a very good debut novel and Crilly works his magic with this genre!
