By: Shawn Phillips

Narrated by: Slade Hovick

Imprisoned miles below the surface of the post-apocalyptic Earth he crafted, the first and last modern-day demigod must come to terms with his failings that led to global annihilation. From the charcoaled ashes of remorse and uncontrollable anger must rise the embodiment of what he was meant to be—a savior for all humankind. However, who he is saving them from and why propels this demigod on a pained journey beyond his home planet, where he must face much more than just an advanced offshoot of humanity. He and the diminutive Bookworm will fight for Earth, but at a cost even a demigod will not be able to rectify.

Post-apocalyptic

Darkened Demigod: Weapon of War by Shawn Phillips is an amazing post- apocalyptic demigod fantasy. Slade Hovick did an incredible job with the narration. The story is entertaining, interesting, engaging, enjoyable, thrilling, and more. Darkened Demigod: Weapon of War is the first book in Darkened Demigod Trilogy. I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.highly recommended

Promising

Darkened Demigod has an interesting premise. However, it took me a while to get through this book because a lot of it is just one character talking to another for large chunks. There are some fascinating rules of this world, it's just a bummer that so much of it is conveyed through exposition instead of letting the reader/listener become fully immersed in the story and characters. The narrator also chose to do a gravelly voice throughout that I was not personally a fan of, but perhaps others won't mind. Aside from a lot of telling instead of showing, the writing itself is good, and the story has promise. Maybe the rest of the trilogy improves on these points!
