MTLNOVEL Chapter : Book review
A brutal, atmospheric descent into a world where time fractures and morality unravels, Cursed causality grips readers with its visceral prose and morally bankrupt antihero. Kael Vritra, a demon-tainted mercenary with a talent for severing the threads of fate, is as captivating as he is despicable—a man who trades his soul for survival, only to find himself ensnared in a war between celestial bureaucrats (Ordos Tempus) and infernal schemers (Infernal Cartography).
The worldbuilding is a standout—a gothic tapestry of crumbling cities, temporal rifts vomiting shards of forgotten eras, and sigils that burn like damned tattoos. Themes of free will versus predestination, the cost of power, and the corrosion of humanity pulse through every chapter. Fans of The Broken Empire's unrepentant protagonists and The First Law's bleak pragmatism will devour this, while the novel's unique blend of demonic horror and time-bending stakes carves its own niche in the genre.
