About this listen
Fantasy. Sci-fi. The world was brought back from the brink of annihilation, but its still-new institutions are rattled once again as heroes and criminals clash in a neon-drenched cyberpunk metropolis.

I was enticed into listening to this story after coming across it on Reddit. I thought the premise was interesting and found the author's interactions genuine and engaging. I am happy to say that this is reflected in the storyline. I think Drew did an exceptionally good job creating something that felt original in a genre where it could easily been lost.
The writing is a generally good quality. Drew creates a detailed world, with some well-sculpted characters. I would say my only real criticism is that the experience could have been more concise and I don't feel like it necessarily need the full 22+ hour length to effectively tell the story and build the environment.
The quality of the audio is very good. I was not the biggest fan of the narrator, but I put that down to personal preference rather than ability.
All in all, I'm glad I gave this book a try. If (and hopefully when) I see the next novel by Drew I'll have no hesitation in picking it up.
Definitely worth your time!

This was one of the most exciting Cyberpunk books i have read since Snowcrash, the book is very long could and could of been a little shorter and more concentrated, but this was a wow listen at work. Everything about the book made me feel immersed into a fully fleshed out cyberpunk High Tech, Low Life world with some deep characters at work and an excited twisting plot.
I truly hope this author carrys on the Cyberpunk genre because he obviously gets it. Some praise also to the production and narrator it was 1st class reading, voice acting and sound effects here and there.
Thank you for reading

I think a bit of trimming to bring down the length, or splitting it into two volumes would have helped with the pacing. it did feel like it had run a bit long by the end. As a Sanderson fan I don't mind long stories, but this ran a little longer than it needed to. That said, it is a first foray for the author, and one thing I did like was that chapter length was spot on. Too often longer books end up with 1hr+ chapters but Drew keeps everything nice and tight on that front.
The narration I think may have contributed to the fatigue towards the end, it's quite a dry reading. Not a bad reading, just dry.
I would absolutely recommend it as a listen, and I'm looking forward to what comes next.

I fell in love with the relationship between Beverly and Michelangelo almost straight away as a possible future of how A.I. may progress is explored. But this dynamic is just one of the threads to the story of New Phoenix; a futuristic city risen from the ashes of the old world. Among the threads of a corporate sponsored police force, powerful corporations, criminal gangs, and a grass roots campaign for change come rumours and stories of people who can bend and yield light.
The story entertains and intrigues while bringing to light new angles to questions of our nature, our comforts, our truths, and our ability to change them. Questions that kept me awake a few nights and excited for what happens in the next chapters. I loved the nature of A.I. in this and one of the best interpretations of this future tech that I’ve read.
I was a little apprehensive with the light bending aspect at first, worried I was getting myself into another Superhero and villains like story when the world Drew had already painted in his words was interesting and gripping enough without it. I was pleasantly surprised though on how this played out and my apprehension was entirely unfounded.
All the main characters, good, bad and somewhere in between, human or not, were interesting to read about, learn and see how their arcs progressed. Was hooked until the end.
Looking forward to hearing more from this author.
I should also note that John Pirhalla did a fantastic job on the narration and brought the story and world of New Phoenix to life.
I was given a free copy at my request and have voluntarily left this review which has not been influenced by the party that provided it.
Intriguing, gripping, thoughtful Sci-fi thriller
