The Catenan Republic—the Hierarchy—may rule the world, but they do not know everything.

An awesome start to the Hiararchy

I know most people classify it as fantasy, however I kind of look more at it like science fantasy. Caten is a really interesting world inspired by the Roman Republic. The world building is detailed but not overly so, and there are still many mysteries to be solved in the future books. The ending really spices things up in regards to world building. Vis Telimus the protagonist and the characters he interact with during the books are all well described and interesting, and they have great character developments during the story. I really look forward to see where this story is going and I'd recomend this book to any fantasy or science fiction lover.
