Serith Moren

If I had to summarize myself in three words they would be; artistic, playful, and ...perhaps a little bipolar.

For those of you that require more than a first impression; I take a strong interest in reading, writing, drawing ...and just about anything that helps people express themselves creatively. I am gender-queer, so who I am depends on the day. My aspiration in life is to become a writer of gay and lesbian novels, but I decided to study Graphic Design instead. The goal is to succeed in both.

I tend to be a little shy, but I can be rather social after warming up. Good icebreakers topics are GLBT themes, fiction, gaming, psychology, design, anime/manga, and film. Combine any of them together and you will never be able to shut me up!

  This was just what I was looking for; a queer character in an apocalypse has to be one of the best combinations. The author even took it a step further and had something to say about finding peace within yourself, no matter how chaotic and harmful society can be. Religion is a big topic in this novel and questions how it affects the lives of the believers and the outcastes. A lot of deep and very daring questions were brought up - why should we believe in a god who does not believe in us? While the opinions of the main characters could be critical at times, he had his reasoning and the author represented both sides of the debate. The story treats Christianity as though it were real, so it never came off Atheistic. Just inquisitive. It gives the readers something to chew on while being entertained with action, gore, and a bumpy -yet honest- romance. The pacing was flawless; the main character would stop suddenly and skip to important scenes because he had limited time to write. Not only did this keep things edgy, but it also illustrated the urgency he was experiencing. Loved that detail. Hell, even the story the he was writing was good! It only featured when he was in need of escapism. I may not recommend this book to someone who is sensitive when it comes to religious beliefs, but I’d encourage those to still consider it if you are open to empathize to the shunned. It accurately represents how Christianity hurts the glbt community. This book is mostly intended for those who need to know they are not alone in a harsh and judgmental world, but just about anyone could benefit from reading this.
