Thank you to MacMillan Publishing for this book in exchange for an honest review

Synopsis:

The comparative utopia of twenty-third-century Earth is about to go dreadfully awry when a seemingly benign alien race is abruptly revealed to be one of the worst threats humanity has ever faced. Driven by an intense religious extremism, the Olyix are determined to bring everyone to their version of God as they see it. But they may have met their match in humanity, who are not about to go gently into that good night or spend the rest of their days cowering in hiding. As human ingenuity and determination rise to the challenge, collective humanity has only one goal—to wipe this apparently undefeatable enemy from the face of creation. Even if it means playing a ridiculously long game indeed.

But in a chaotic universe, it is hard to plan for every eventuality, and it is always darkest before the dawn

Review:

I wasn’t a fan of Salvation, I felt as though it was all over the place, it didn’t appeal to my better interest.

Salvation Lost was more interesting, though it didn’t hit the spot for me it was still entertaining as far as a sci-fi usually would it was still a far better read than Salvation, the first instalment.

Salvation Lost picks right off where Salvation finished and contains flash-backs or past and present dialogue to ensure that you grasp the whole of the story.

I do applaud that it does include non-binary genders and he really does write to appease the mass market of different ages, genders, race and so on and so forth which a lot of books don’t really cover or even attempt to cover.

I still didn’t find myself interested in the characters all that much which is probably why I didn’t enjoy this book as much as I should but this steampunk sci-fi was still a rather interest read.
