(I've deleted and reposted this review, just to say, as a sentence was clipped.)

a prequel to "scourge," what an amazing surprise! this is a world of yours that I've spent plenty of my own time daydreaming in, so I was very happy to get more of this one.

I particularly enjoyed how you went about giving us a very character-focused glimpse back into this realm you've created. the first-person perspective is as effective here as it was in the original tale, as our hero contemplates his humanity and lack there of, and the powers he is imbued with, and how he gamed the system to gets those powers. as always I love how you play with these concepts. the moral quandaries that twist your characters about are very enjoyable to read. your world building as also as vivid as ever. I love it when you write sci-fi!

I also really enjoyed learning more about set himself, and the specifics of this universe, and its mechanics. I really love the "scourge" universe, and would happily read many more stories set here. I'm still wondering what happens with bellona and set, down the line! :>

a very enjoyable read. the universe feels very real and imaginative, and the characters breathe. it's great that you've fleshed out the history even more. now I've got even more to daydream over! wonderful words.

I honestly thought that I wouldn’t return to this universe, but here we are. I tried some new things with this story, and I’m glad that you liked it. Set was a fun character to write about, someone who is arrogant and seemingly unaware of his own madness. As for what happens with Set and Bellona, well, we'll see. It's probably nothing good :D
