Doom Absolute… Purgatory with a Sci Fi Twist
Doom Absolute is a weirdly gripping tale set in the purgatory type realm of Illumina. The story centres around Alma, a young woman whose life is cut tragically short, is offered the opportunity to come back from the dead. However, as with most golden opportunities like this, there is an almighty catch… in this case a nightmarish world where supernatural creatures are a very real threat.
This was a real adventure to read, Richard Worth has managed to craft a well thought out and vivid world in a unique setting. The characters were most certainly imaginative and plentiful yet at the same time each one was clearly thought out and actually had a character of their own.
My only issue with this novel is the length of the chapters, they are sizable. There was a lot of content in there and I did find myself having to re-read sections, I would say this is a read during the day and not last thing at night. Despite this one very minor issue, I loved this book and was completely immersed in this mysterious, horrific yet fantastic imaginary world.
