The Cypher: Review

From Goodreads:
GUARDIANS INC.: THE CYPHER is two stories in one. A glimpse into a multinational company that is in reality the oldest of secret societies, one that spans close to seven thousand years of existence, weaving in and out of history, guiding and protecting humanity from creatures and forces that most of us believe are only mythology and fairy tales.

The other is the story of Thomas Byrne, a young man thrust into secrets he shouldn't be aware of and dangers he shouldn't face but, that he ultimately will, for he is a Cypher. The only one who can steer humanity’s future.

The ultimate conspiracy theory is that Magic is real. Kept in check by technology but, every five hundred years the balance can shift and, if it does, technology will fail and those creatures we've driven into myth will come back with a vengeance.

To protect the present, Guardians Incorporated needs to know the future.

My Review:
This was a pretty spectacular book! Fun, enjoyable, and not just a little bit weird, with pretty great characters, an interesting world, and great-to-read writing! Plus, the initial idea of an ancient conspiracy theory, just fantastic!

I enjoyed this world, with it's quirks, like the big one of the 500 possible power shift, to the small ones that are almost too numerous to count! Because yeah, this is a book with magic, at least, the possibility of magic, since technology is the side that's been in charge for the current 500 years.

The characters? They had their own quirks, too, they were individual, fun, interesting, and they had some pretty awesome plot twists, and yeah, it was a lot of fun to read about them, and in future books, because they're characters worth knowing!

Yeah, I really enjoyed this book, it was awesome, and I hope that I can read more of the series, what with the teaser of the second book in this one!
