What is it about?
Affer was once a peaceful planet, until a war broke out between its six inhabiting species. The humans, who were once the mightiest force on Affer, were massacred in droves, and the ones who survived the onslaught were reduced to mere slaves. The five other species divided the humans amongst themselves and returned to their respective kingdoms.
The years passed, turning into decades and centuries, without any change. Eventually, the humans had accepted their fate as slaves. All except one. Four hundred and seventy-three years later, Fletcher Rush starts his journey to free his kind...and conquer the planet.

A lot happens. An underdog rebellion, action-packed and well-written action scenes for this sci-fi Fantasy where humans fight elves, not the only other race dominating. Very easy to see these vivid, exciting scenes, quite cinematic. Dark, gritty, and intense. I would say perfect for battle/military fantasy fans, with a Witcher vibe but with tech. Fletcher acts and is a pretty cool character. "I was expecting all of you to be tough, formidable warriors... but I wasn't impressed with any of you."
I loved the demoness who had crawled out of Hell (scene) ahah Allica is a promise for some hilarious scenes. "...you're making it sound like we're all going to end up dead. Well, guess what. I plan on winning and becoming the queen of the elves. (then a rat appears and all her pose goes down the drain ahahaha this scene is hilarious).
My only remark is that I don't like it when authors use only capital letters for long paragraphs; it has a purpose, I understand, but to me it's personally off-putting. The direction "...shouted..." is enough.
I was given a copy for an honest review.
