A great book, obviously heavily influenced by Lord of the Mysteries. The Contractbound system is less restrictive than the sequence system of LotM, but still provides distinct powers making each interesting, rather than the generic cultivation powers of most novels. The writing quality is better than most on this site, and the novel's plot progression is well thought out. Some points, like Graham and Valentine's backgrounds that have been hinted at strongly, I believe should have been revealed much earlier, rather than the author arbitrarily concealing, but on the whole the revealing of the mysterious world is rather well done. I'd consider this one of the best original novels on this site.
