My significant other is very much a fan of Evan Currie's sci-fi series so I (since I'm much more fantasy than sci-fi) I decided to check this one out.
The first quarter is pretty terrible. But it gets better and better and the story is interesting.
I think Evan Currie is self-edited and it shows:
"She glanced down to the little girl by her side and pursed her lips in an amused yet annoyed look as her voice snapped with a crisp sternness." :P
An decent editor would have spanked him for that, and this book was probably good enough to deserve said beating of its author.

A fun standalone novel that is made even richer by the tie-ins to the authors Heirs series. [b:Heirs of Empire|25271796|Heirs of Empire (The Scourwind Legacy #1)|Evan Currie|http://images.gr-assets.com/books/1435903305s/25271796.jpg|44997223]. If all self published novels were this good I wouldn't constantly be searching for new books.

Humanity is fighting a losing struggle against demonic forces, and the few survivors have lost all of the technology they once had.
A young girl brought up in isolation sees her parents killed by them and is saved by a mysterious wanderer.
A well told story, if not gripping. The girl needs a lot of things explaining to her (which may be a way for the author to explain things to the reader), but it starts to grate after a while.
For some odd reason the author gives up on chapters after a bit, and the last half of the book is one big chunk of writing.
