Resistor: An Eerden Novel (Ellinor Book 1) Kindle Edition

Ellinor Rask has wanted one thing for the past eight years: vengeance. But when Ellinor is captured, she finds herself dragged back into the world she walked away from, entangled once more with friends she would rather forget.


As if that weren’t humiliating enough, Ellinor learns first hand that her magic can be stripped away by a piece of bio-tech—and her ex-boss is happy to leash her with the technology in order to get what he wants. If Ellinor behaves, the device will be removed. All she has to do is deliver a package. One containing a creature created from raw magical energy and discarded technology. Simple, right?


But when her goals start getting people murdered, Ellinor has to decide if the year’s planning, her honor, and even her own magic, are worth the lives it’s costing. Dodging ruthless gangsters, she finds herself on the run with a creature of immeasurable magical abilities alongside her one-time friends. Now, Ellinor must relearn to trust the people she once abandoned. She must put her faith in technology, and her life in the hands of independent contractors, all while racing to deliver the package before it gets taken by force, or worse, the creature decides to make an appearance itself.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"You could really tell that a lot of effort went into making this book as vivid as possible. While Clayton pays almost obsessive attention to detail, you still only get to know what's necessary. And her choice of words pulls you in. It brings you closer to the action as she tells a tale of love, betrayal, revenge, loyalty, and heartwarming camaraderie." - Literary Titan Gold Award ★★★★★

"CE Clayton's writing draws you into a world with anirresistible blend offantasy and sci fi -- exciting scenes and feistyEllinor caught myattention from the first page. Looking forward to thenext installment!" - Author of the Toccata System Trilogy, Kate Sheeran Swed
★★★★★

"Clayton continues to be a strong writer, who excels in deep worldbuilding and snarky characters. Ellinor is hard to love but oh so easy to cheer for, and watching her unfold into the character she's becoming is a joy." - Award winning author of the Thanatos Trilogy, Tyffany Hackett
★★★★★

A Thrilling and Magical Story
Resistor is a Adult Cyberpunk/Science Fantasy novel book 1 in this trilogy.Ellinor was a great character to follow, watching her surpass her cold, skepticism into someone now trying to help those out of a disaster thrusted upon their laps by her ex crime boss(I forgot his name*face palms*). I enjoyed meeting other characters and I really loved this world the author created. The story was thrilling and action packed with magic to please my fantasy loving heart, and I can't wait to see what will go down in book 2.

This book is marketed towards young adults.
Well. I'm 66. And I loved it. The book is so well written it transcends it's targeted demographic base. That's hard to do.😀
I recommend this book to all reading groups.
Several of the characters have experienced loss.
By 66 ,you experience plenty of loss. Maybe that's why I identified with the characters in the book so much.

Once again the author has given us a creative world with rich characters and a fun story line! The combination of science fiction and fantasy enriched with magical creatures makes for a very different fable, one that will have you wishing the sequel was already available. I love the author's characters and can't wait to see where she takes them, and us!

Let me read book 2 and get back to you. I think I really enjoyed it. Once I got past the beginnings of the saga, which was rushed and strained credulity, I think it settled into a decent little story. Decent characters, although protagonist was mostly unlikable. Good villains that you certainly wanted to see get their just due. If the hero can develop some grace and charisma I might stick around to see where this goes..

Oh man. What. A. Ride. This book is amazing and it took me on a rollercoaster of emotions. I adore Ellinor, Jelani, Kai and especially Fiss who is so adorable. It was so well written and I found myself not wanting to stop reading. I simply cannot describe in words how amazing this book was. I cannot recommend it enough. If you are even considering reading it, just do it.
5 stars and I would give more if such a thing were possible.

Also the hardcover edition is stunning and worth the buy! I highly recommend.

Synopsis: Ellinor Rask has wanted one thing for the past eight years: vengeance. But when Ellinor is captured, she finds herself dragged back into the world she walked away from, entangled once more with friends she would rather forget.

As if that weren’t humiliating enough, Ellinor learns first hand that her magic can be stripped away by a piece of bio-tech—and her ex-boss is happy to leash her with the technology in order to get what he wants. If Ellinor behaves, the device will be removed. All she has to do is deliver a package. One containing a creature created from raw magical energy and discarded technology. Simple, right?

Now, Ellinor must relearn to trust the people she once abandoned. She must put her faith in technology, and her life in the hands of independent contractors, all while racing to deliver the package before it gets taken by force, or worse, the creature decides to make an appearance itself.

Review: Overall, I enjoyed my reread of this book. I loved the main cast of characters and I always enjoy a great heist read. I don’t see a lot of these heist books set in space, which is where I like to read, so it’s even better when the book is a sci-fi heist like book. The book had great world building and great character development. The book also had a good plot and the story flowed well. I also really liked the magic in this book and it worked well with the technology and sci-fi aspect.

However, I did feel like there was room for improvement in the book. There are a lot of characters and the amount of different characters and things you have to remember is a bit daunting. I found it hard to remember who was who from the huge cast. The book was a bit too fast paced in my opinion and I felt like I was being bounced around from place to place. It was hard to keep up with where the book was going sometimes. I feel like if the book was slowed down and maybe some more time was spent with the characters or if they were slimmed down a bit then it would have been a bit better for me.

Verdict: It was good!

Review: Oh my word this was an amazing book! I loved the complex world building and the character development. The characters and how they interact with each other is always C.E.’s strong writing points and I loved all of the characters in this universe. The book was also full of action and the magic system and tech was pretty well done as well.

The only issues I had with the book were that the book is pretty slow in the being and it takes some getting used to in order to get into the book. But, once I was into the book, it was a quick 5 hour read. There was also some slut shaming which put me off of the main character.

Verdict: Definitely a must read if you’re into fantasy and sci-fi!
