What is Reddit's opinion of Gloomwalker (Saga of the Severed: Book 1)?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

Gloomwalker - a dark fantasy novel of revenge.

As a boy of eleven, Kyris made a vow to kill a man. A holy man with the blessing of a sun god.

Kyris swore that he would let nothing and no one stand in his way. For eight years he trained and strove, until he was ready to seek out his quarry.

Now his hunt leads him to the great city of Vigil, seat of the Tesrin Imperium, center of the civilized world, and stronghold of his enemy. The one he seeks is powerful, able to call and command hallowed flames at will. But Kyris isn’t without a talent of his own, a dark ability unseen and unknown to all.

In the capital, games of intrigue are played among the merchant houses, slaves struggle against their masters, and the faithful preserve the Light to keep the Darkness at bay. Kyris, however, cares not for any of it. He steals from the city’s highborn to further his cause, but when a simple job goes wrong, when a single knife thrown without thinking embroils him in the schemes of the powerful, his convictions are put to the test.

Vengeance at any cost, or so he’s always told himself. Will it be harder to fulfill that promise or walk away from it?

Browsing the self-promotion thread for something new? Good on ya!

In the mood for some dark fantasy centered around murder and vengeance?

Here’s the elevator pitch: A young man with a sinister power seeks revenge against the servant of a sun god that murdered his family. Things get complicated when his actions embroil him in the schemes of the powerful within the empire, but he’s vowed to let nothing stand in his way. Not enemies or allies.

I’m trying to decide between two pitches for my book…

​

A thief with a sinister power on a quest for revenge. Lie. Steal. Kill. What is he willing to sacrifice? How far will he go for vengeance?

Or

Stabby, stabby, stab, stab. Poof.

​

Which do you prefer?
