It's 2017 and the End Days are coming, beings that were once human gathering to fight in one last great war for control of the Vellum -- the vast realm of eternity on which our world is just a scratch. But to a draft-dodging Irish angel and a trailer-trash tomboy called Phreedom, it's about to become brutally clear that there's no great divine or diabolic plan at play here, just a vicious battle between the hawks of Heaven and Hell, with humanity stuck in the middle, and where the easy rhetoric of Good and Evil, Order versus Chaos just doesn't apply. Here there are no heroes, no darlings of destiny struggling to save the day, and there are no villains, no dark lords of evil out to destroy the world. Or at least if there are, it's not quite clear which is which. Here, the most ancient gods and the most modern humans are equally fate's fools, victims of their own hubris, struggling to save their own skins, their own souls, but sometimes ...just sometimes ...sacrificing everything in the name of humanity. "Vellum is a mind-blowing read that's genuinely like nothing you've ever read before...The imaginary worlds that he dreams up are stunning...Vellum has expanded fantasy's limits like nothing published in years.

I tried to like this story but it just wasn't worth wasting my time I stopped reading it long before I was near the end of the story. The overview of the story sounded really intriguing, superhuman against superhuman Angels versus demons, all mixed up with ancient gods and supernatural beings. Tying mythology of all cultures together and uniting it with the Christian mythology. And trying to have it make sense. Sounds really cool right? Well somewhere along the way the author forgot to make sure that everything makes sense. Decided instead to put in tortured, wandering prose, uninteresting and venal characters who all seemed to be homosexual, had three different story lines going on without every tying everything up. Every paragraph seems to have a different topic, making the reader wondering what is going on and making the story more confusing. The book had great potential, and interesting ideas. All the author had to do was clean his writing up and get over his hang ups and angst with the world and stop topic hopping. And at least have a few paragraphs that make sense. I've read other reviews saying it was a really good book as long as you stuck with it. But there was no way I was going to suffering through anymore of this writing.
