Beyond Redemption by Michael R. Fletcher
4.0
Such a dark little fantasy novel: magic as psychopathy, gods with obsessive compulsive disorders, planes of violent existence without end, and characters that do truly appear to be beyond redemption.
Enjoyed the hell out of it.
"The present is a split second, so tiny and trivial as to be immaterial.
Everything else, everything real and substantial, is a coral reef of dead split seconds, forming the islands and continents of our reality.
Every moment is a brick in the wall of the past, building enormous structures that have identity and meaning, cities we live in.
The future is wet shapeless clay, the present is so brief it barely exists, but the past houses and shelters us, gives us a home and a name; and the mortar that binds those bricks, that stops them from sliding apart into a a nettle shrouded ruin, is memory."
