Review Detail of NightWind in The Oracle Paths
Review detail
Really a fantastic novel. Author’s command of English is unprecedented despite apparently not being his first language. The MC he writes is human and so relatable, while not being irritating for his weakness. Actually he is very powerful, though I would not go so far as to call him too powerful quite yet. The world he builds is reminiscent of the Infinity Genre Novels (The Ultimate Evolution, Infinity Armament, Devil’s Cage) while retaining a unique quality as to the circumstances of the apocalypse humans need to overcome. The characters smack of humanity, too, complex and can make their own decisions, sometimes intelligent and other times not so much. The plot is interesting and well woven into the story. Much information is imparted in the first few chapters, but more is gradually revealed and it never feels like too much to keep track of, or too annoying. The only minor, very minor, complaint from me is that I’m still not totally sure my understand of the Aether v Body stats is entirely correct (despite numerous explanations!) but that might be due to my own lack of intelligence rather than the authors. I rarely write reviews, but this novel is truly worthy of the tag “Hidden Gem” and I quite frankly can’t wait for more chapters to come out. Thanks author!

I'm working on doing a clear and concise auxiliary chapter for this. If needed, I will do a colorized drawing with Photoshop to make it easy to understand. But basically, Body stats are not so important. As long as you understand that 20 Aether pts double his body strength, you just need to roughly know how strong Jake's body is compared to the average human. It is important to understand that a sedentary child with 100 Aether pts in strength will not necessary be stronger than a muscular full-grown man with 50 Aether pts. This Body Status still exist and is mentionned sometimes to remind the reader that humans have a physical limitation like their height, mass ect.. Our bones are bones, not steel or diamond. Which is not the case for different species.
