**September 2017 re-read: 4 stars.**
**Having now read books 2 and 3, the series is utterly worth slogging through the FBS. 1.13.10**
I'm having the most difficult time reviewing this one.
I see the potential to it. The world of tech crumbles under the weight of magic. Factions of power rise in the aftermath, most notably the People (necromancers and necronavigators) and the Pack (shapeshifters created by the Lycos Virus).
