《Book reviews *Requests Closed*》'Deadly sin (2016)' by lunaticthegame

So... where do I begin this?
The story is about Abnormals and their factions, Abnormals being teens with superpowers. They fight demons.
That's the basic plot. The whole plot, however, is pretty complicated. The story is like, an arc of a series, and the book is a sort of sequel to the original version of it. There is a complicated, good explanation of the events prior to the arc, so it's still readable.
I really like the plot. It sounds cliché when I explained it, but if you look at the descriptions in the book, it's actually really well-thought out. It really has an anime feel to it.
I like the characters enough, and there are a lot of those. Seriously. But they're all pretty cool.
The GPS is... hm. grammar/spelling mistakes are present, it could use more editing.
Also, when you write dialogue like this:
"(Insert sentence)" Mazie says."(Insert sentence)." I reply.
It will get confusing, 'cause the reader doesn't know if Mazie is saying the second sentence or if someone else is saying it.
Try this:
"(Insert sentence)" Mazie says.
"(Insert sentence)." I reply.
It's easier to read that way.
Also, when you switch to someone else's point of view, which happens a lot in the later chapters, make sure you mention which character is the "I" person now. With all the characters there are, it becomes really hard for the reader to figure out which character we're following now.
On a more positive note, I love the fight scenes, the book deserves to be in the action category. Even if the fights get a little repetitive, I really liked them.
It needs editing, it really does, because it's hard to read, but it's fun to read if you can look past that.
Rating: 5.5

Sokaiseva
Erika Hanover received her magic on her twelfth birthday—far earlier than anyone was supposed to—and suddenly, everything in her life made sense. Magic could solve everything. Magic was all she'd ever wanted. When she was offered a spot on the roster of a mercenary group policing magic-tinged crime in her home of upstate New York, she jumped at the chance. Anything to get away from her hometown. It didn't matter what the work was. She didn't care. Now, though, with almost a decade between herself and her time as a child soldier with the Radiant, things aren't as clear as they used to be. Part slice-of-life, part coming-of-age, part surreal absurdist nightmare, Sokaiseva is the tale of a shell-shocked shadow-war's veteran recounting her time growing up as the last line of defense in a world secretly teetering on the brink of disaster. Book Two (Teardrop Two-Step) is going live now! New chapters go up Wednesday and Sunday.
