Hence, Derek and Carl had quickly learned how to fend for themselves. Their absent-minded mother had forgotten about them right after giving birth. She dedicated her life to the pursuit of peace and quiet, staying as far as possible from her spouse's tantrums.
This novel had me on the edge of my seat from start to finish. The names and concepts are clearly taken from other places but the ability to put it all together is amazing. The world building is very in depth and keeps you entertained throughout.
