This was ok… rambling, but interesting. I liked the plot more than the execution of the book. It was a decent follow-up to Apocalypse Now Now, but honestly I’m good with the series ending with this book. The narration was good. The characters didn’t have much depth or personality.

I don't know if reading this book would be the same if you aren't South African. But reading an alternate urban fantasy apartheid history when you are (South African) is novel and powerful and generally pretty kick ass.

Shit just gets weirder and weirder for Baxter. Sent to a new school that seems to be filled with other teen delinquents with the addition of having magical/shaman skills, he's no longer the alpha male running the porn cartel in his high school. When his new high school is attacked he suddenly has to use his dream walking skills to find his true self, his magical talent, and a way to save the world. Or at least everyone in South Africa.

Kind of like Harry Potter. With drugs. And violence. And just weird shit. Like a dragon made out of fat and sewer garbage.
