Editorial Review * * * * *
End of the Line depicts a train traveling at breakneck speed, and the narrative keeps up with it. The book has many intense scenes, and we hear the clattering sound of the train's wheels as we read. Steampunk lovers will appreciate the captivating world-building with a fascinating touch of Mexican lore. Tony Fuentes and C. S. Kading base Gothika's mythology on the clash of darkness and light, death and life. The authors add fresh hues to this well-known rivalry. Emilio, who seemingly sides with the dark forces, is compassionate and understanding, while Jalin, who should fight evil, is intolerant and bigoted. Fuentes and Kading also examine the themes of fanaticism, temptation, and self-sacrifice. The characters are very well-developed and complex. Unexpectedly, the Voice of the goddess of light, Esperanza, sees a kindred spirit in Emilio, her opposite. This is a riveting mystery wrapped in a dizzying adventure for those who dare to step onto the treacherous train.
