Summary
It's inevitable: Technology must evolve alongside magic.
Trained from boyhood to be protectorate of the only known community of survivors in a post-apocalyptic world, Blaze takes a devastating turn when he fails to save the Order from an unexpected and devastating attack. When his mentor turns executioner, Blaze gets arrested for treason and falls victim to Toka's secret gene-splicing experiments. He’s further thrown into confusion when his legendary weaponry skills prove useless against the psionic powers of a small and unintimidating alien woman.
After Evelia, his unquenchable crush, becomes the alien’s unexpected apprentice, Blaze hearkens to the Earth’s call to lead mankind’s last few survivors to the destiny she envisions for them: a technologically advanced civilization governed by magic.
Young adult fans who enjoy action-packed pause-resisters will love Moon 514’s unique and hopeful twist on a post-apocalyptic world. Consider it Star Wars meets Insurgent with a smiley emoji.

As puzzled as puzzled gets.
I can understand why this book has received numerous five star reviews. This is a fresh re-imagined look at a post apocalyptic (in fact, three times apocalyptic) world that is very different from most. It is very heavy on the fantasy, though, and I am not a fan, I fear, much preferring a far more fulfilling science fiction base. Yes, there is a space ship and a simulator (where the hero seemingly fights endlessly), and mention of genetic manipulation but it is outweighed by constant feelings of intuitions and sort of energy auras and mind readings, and overall there is the dream-like fantasy veil. And I never could determine if it was supposed to be funny.
Personally, I was reminded strongly of the type of story book a slightly oddball parent reads to a delighted child at night, exciting and daring, suspenseful - and it really doesn't matter if it doesn't make sense, or slips into a different time frame, because it is magical, far away from real life and a great precursor to sleep. Worked for me: I was only able to listen to a short length before nodding off. This was ably assisted by narrator, Julian Pearson, who read well, great inflection, steady pace and oh, so soothing. For the first half of the book, each time it happened, I backtracked to catch up on what I'd missed; but eventually I gave in to my body's reaction, probably missing a total of nearly an hour's text taken in bite sized pieces. I don't think I missed anything crucial but ...
The book was atmospheric, unusual and like a wild magical dream, or nightmare, not sure which. I'm sure it would appeal to many but sadly, not me. My fantasy tolerance is spread thin. My thanks, hosever, to the rights holder of Moon 514, who, at my request, generously and freely gifted me with a complimentary copy, via Audiobook Boom.
