I think this must have been free on Kindle at some point, but I don't remember ordering it. It's...ok. There is a good story in there, but there were enough little things to detract from it being great or even good. Part, I think, comes down to editing. There were more than a few awkward sentences. Sometimes a line would say nearly the same thing as one a couple paragraphs before. Sometimes a sentence would have a description at odds with what had earlier been described. The biggest issue is how the story was structured. It is basically told in two parallel stories/povs, which at points are too similar.
It sounds terrible, but I didn't hate it. There were some neat ideas in there, and it wasn't too long. There were occasional glimpses of what could become a good author. I just think he needs a good editor or better feedback on early drafts.
