No Darker Fate Scions Book 1 edition by John Corwin Children eBooks

I have to say that Corwin tends to be a bit of a slow burn for me, in the sense that for about the first 10% of his books (at least the first ones in a series), I'm not sure whether I'm going to continue reading. No Darker Fate was especially like that for me, for a good while I was having a difficult time getting into the storyline and really enjoying myself. Once he started to kind of explain things, however, like what the Scions were and laying out the plot, the book got quite good. I will say this, however, I wouldn't really call this an "X-Files meets the X-Men" book. The X-Files reference is valid, there are definitely shadow world and conspiracy themes all throughout the book, but a superheroes reference like X-Men wasn't really accurate to me. Sure, the characters are stronger and faster than humans and they can do some neat things, but there's not the variety of powers like you'd expect in a superhero genre book. In reality, No Darker Fate reads more like an urban fantasy starring vampires, werewolves or that sort of supernatural beings. That doesn't really take away from the story, but the X-Men reference skews one's expectations.

No Darker Fate Scions Book 1 edition by John Corwin Children eBooks Reviews

Very good story line
Not the best writing - a little stilted.
Corwin's complex vision stretches over a wide landscape in a growing, then running, and sometimes raging, battle of super powered factions. He evolves his story deftly, forming strong and sympathetic characters as well as evil genius antagonists with frightening abilities that can dig into a person's very neurons. Set some time aside and get ready to keep up with plot twists, strange realities, and superpowered superhumans among the large cast of unique characters.
It was very well written and threw in enough twists to keep it a page turner. I enjoyed the change of ideal in the involved parties. Well worth the read.
Book was just OK, but for me at bit confusing at times. Did not have the strong main character, but a lot of other players, that sometimes made no sense.
I don't want to say anything that will give away too much of the story since I hate reviews full of spoilers. The main character, Lucas Fowler is a reluctant super-hero which is a staple of the Sci-Fi genre, but in No Darker Fate is handled with a fresh approach. The world of the Scions is dark and hidden in plain sight in Atlanta. I've lived in Atlanta for the past 11 years but never looked at the city in the way it's depicted in this book (unique perspective on the underground scene). At times, a trip to Little 5 Points can make one almost believe that Scions do exist.

This book is such a page turner that I was able to workout (elliptical) without looking at the clock, which is my personal gauge for rating books. A good book makes me forget I'm working out and that is what No Darker Fate was able to do.

Bottom line, No Darker Fate is a fun read for anyone who likes Sci-Fi. The book does a good job of building characters and definitely appears to be a setup for a series. I hope so, and will be on the look-out. I liked the book enough that I'm now reading another John Corwin novel, The Next Thing I Knew - review to follow.
If you're a fan of either sci-fi action movies or comic books then you'll enjoy this book. The author brings to life a dark underworld that exists just out of our sight in which super powered beings live and operate amongst us. The problem being that super powers does not equal super ethics. Despite their power, these beings are just as petty and cruel as normal humans, and due to this our entire world is at risk.....and we don't even know it.

A good setup novel for an ongoing series. Answers a lot of things, but leaves plenty of questions for future novels to address.

Overall a good, engaging read. I'm looking forward to the next installment of the series.
