“Come over to the grey side for a bit. It won’t kill you”

I felt the story was a little haphazard and was just one fight scene link to the next (which seemed to be every 100 yards with a few lines of dialogue.
The author seems to have tried to create a complex mix of timeframes in his worldbuilding, but far too little background (how do cats paws hold swords, how is clockwork and white picket fences phrases but no sign of clocks, why does cover show heavy plate armour?) is given as to what is actually there. For instance the first time you meet another “race” is 4 hours into the book.
It felt like the whole book was just an introduction to new characters (even arriving in the last 40 mins) and maybe further books will flesh everything out.
I would have preferred a little more time was taken to flesh things out as there’s definitely potential there.
Narration was good but the sound effects were too random to be worthwhile and sometimes a little lazy with roars from catmen (who don’t arrive until late in book) being heard in the first fights and pasted place names.
This is my honest opinion on a free review copy.
