DESCRIPTION:
Scott Hitchcock said A must for any GD fan. If Nietzsche wrote GrimDark this is the book he would have written. So phenomenally original, thought provoking while savagely viewing the worst of humanity. And yet I laughed my ass off continually. It was American Psycho meets Catch "A must for any GD fan" according to Scott Hitchcock. If Nietzsche wrote GrimDark this is the book he would have written. So phenomenally original, thought provoking while savagely viewing the worst of humanity. And yet I laughed my ass off continually. It was American Psycho meets Catch 22 where the macabre was turned hysterically humorous.I don't want to give away too much but Konig and his doppelgangers alone were worth the price of admission with all the different personalities all playing off of each other and where one starts and another begins.

The psychology and philosophy interwoven with the madness.I will say I'. "Extraordinarily Unique" according to Charles McGarry. This book was brilliant! The idea that delusions can literally manifest in reality makes for a refreshing and unique fantasy world. The character development is skillfully done. I found myself loathing and yet pitying the deluded souls of the characters all at the same time. Fletcher really draws you into their plight.

Very original magic system A Reader This wasn't a perfect book, not by a long shot, but the author gets high marks for writing a fast moving story and creating a fascinating world with a highly original system of magic.
“Set in a world where madness equates to power, Michael R. An alarming, original and compulsive tale laced with a blackly comic sensibility. Highly recommended.” (Anthony Ryan, New York Times bestselling author of Blood Song, on BEYOND REDEMPTION)“Fletcher populated the landscape with an array of mental disorders, turning a well-thumbed psychiatric manual into a dramatis personae…The dystopia and its victims never quite collapse under the weight of the horror, and their perseverance encourages the readers to endure the grimness until the thought-provoking conclusion.” (Publishers Weekly (starred review) on BEYOND REDEMPTION)“The journey is dark and emotionally taxing, but there aren’t many fantasy novels as smart, ambitious, and excellently written as this one.” (Booklist on BEYOND REDEMPTION) . Fletcher’s Beyond Redemption is often as nightmarish as it is fascinating

Common knowledge isn't an axiom, it's a force of nature. Faith shapes the landscape, defines the laws of physics, and makes a mockery of truth. What the masses believe is. But insanity is a weapon, conviction a shield. The question, then, is:Who will rule there?. Three reprobates--The Greatest Swordsman in the World, a murderous Kleptic, and possibly the only sane man left--have their own nefarious plans for the young god.As these forces converge on the boy, there's one more obstacle: time is running out. He defines the beliefs of his followers, leading their faith to one end: a young boy, Morgen, must Ascend to become a god. High Priest Konig seeks to create order from chaos. The fate of the Ge
