Review The Flux is the best kind of sequel: bigger, deeper, scarier, funner. The emotional journey it takes the reader on is just as thrilling as the jaw-dropping wonders of videogamemancy and bureaucramancy. With the 'Mancer series, Ferrett Steinmetz has achieved something rare in contemporary fantasy: a world that feels both truer and more magical than our own. -- Ken Liu, winner of the Nebula, Hugo, and World Fantasy Awards and author of the The Grace of Kings and The Paper Menagerie and Other Stories. “I really, really liked the uniqueness of the world of magic Steinmetz has created with his novels. It’s very well thought out, and structured. It was exciting to see how someone obsessed with video games would see the world, and its rules, through the use of ‘mancy. I also enjoyed the addition of such human dynamics between all of the characters. Steinmetz has done a wonderful job of blending superb battles between the ‘mancers and mundanes, with heart wrenching moments with Paul and his eight-year-old daughter Aliyah, while still walking the tightrope of creating a story about family, good vs evil, and trust.”– Books, Cats and Caffeine“I cannot express this enough, THIS BOOK MUST BE READ! 5 HOOTS.”– Purple Owl Reviews“This is going to be an easy review. I loved it. I AM A NEW FANBOY.”– Brad K Horner“I give The Flux a score of 9.5/10. This is a great novel that like with Flex I would strongly recommend to anyone who has any interest at all in Urban Fantasy as a genre, and even to people who’ve never read the genre before and might be interested in giving it a go; the Mancer series would be a fantastic introduction for you. This book makes Ferrett Steinmetz a name to watch.”– Talk Wargaming“If you’re looking for some truly original urban fantasy, particularly if you’re a gamer, you needto try this series. The Flux was good I read it twice.”– Bookaneer“Explosively good fun.”– The Speculative Herald“The Flux is a sequel that is superior to its original… and the original was a must-read. So go read this book, now.”– ideatrash“Ferrett Steinmetz has created something crazy wonderful here. The magic is geektacularly awesome (Videogamemancy! Fight Clubmancy! You name it, it’s a ‘mancy.)…The Flux is one of those rare books that’s part of a series (book two), but is written to be a stand alone.”– Geeky Library“A fun read with plenty of heart.”– Relentless Reading“Roses are red, violets are blue, Valentine is kick-ass, and Paul Tsabo is too.”– Fat Robot“Steinmetz has done some great work here, and I look forward to seeing more from this still fairly new author.”– Strange Currencies“The world Ferrett Steinmetz has created is wildly imaginative and his writing style is somewhat reminiscent of Richard Kadrey’s Butcher Bird and Sandman Slim novels. Needless to say, bothFlex and The Flux are wild rides which take the reader to places they’ve never been before, and beyond.”– Frank Michael Errington“The momentum it keeps up throughout it had me on my toes. I was actually crying during some scenes- a rarity if you know me, and a rather high award. I absolutely loved how this book finished off. Last but not least, I need to mention the cover. It’s just gorgeous isn’t it? I love that Valentine is on the cover! She looks totally badass.”– Tsundoku Books“Some of the more unique and enjoyable urban fantasy I’ve read as of late.”– The Artolater“I think the ‘Mancer series can easily be considered the best urban fantasy series that I’m currently reading. It has everything that I love about this genre. A city whose importance can be felt within the plot and the character’s love for it. A magic system that shines and fascinates. And characters that are crazy but loveable.”– Challenging Reads“This one-of-a-kind series (which saw two installments released this year) is what might result if you put Breaking Bad and Reddit in a blender and hit “frappe.””– Barnes & Noble Sci-Fi Blog“I REALLY liked The Flux.”– Mythology of Technology“Just as with Flex, I can only say good things about The Flux. Storywise it is definitely one of the coolest things that I read in a long time. Ferrett Steinmetz shows a lot of creativity with the whole Mancer magic system that he has divised. Delving deeper into what is takes to be a Mancer, he doesn’t shy away from showing the bad and the ugly as well.”– The Book Plank“This series features some of the most intricate and unique concepts I’ve ever seen.”– Bibliotropic"Like its predecessor, The Flux was pure geek escapism."– The Bibliosanctum

2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Much tighter story than book one with an ending that packs a punch By SMM 4.75 starsI received a copy of The Flux from Angry Robot Books via Netgalley in exchange for an honest reviews. Thank you!This is the sequel to Flex and does contain mild SPOILERS so read at your own risk.The Flux picks up a few years after Flex and sees our characters pretty much where we left them. Paul is in charge of the anti-mancer task force and is also the top supplier of Flex (a magical drug) in the city. Valentine, as ever, is his faithful friend. She's still working out some bugs about what happened to her boyfriend in the last book. Aliyah, however, is the one with all the problems. Her newfound mancer abilities make her a danger- both to herself and the city. And then walks in a new character- the King of New York, a shady figure who seems intent to wipe Paul off the face of the map.I've mentioned before that I really try to stay away from ratings that end up being .25 or .75 stars. When I was thinking about this one, though, I just couldn't justify either 4.5 or 5. 4.5 because it was far too good to be rated that low, and 5 because it just didn't get my blood racing like I would have wanted it to. So I had to settle into the middle. Really, the only thing that keeps me from absolutely loving this book is the distance I feel between myself and Paul.The biggest difference between this and the first book is that this is a much tighter story. It's driven from beginning to end and doesn't find itself tripping on tangents along the way like the first one did. The magic system continued to shine through and this was a natural progression of the previous story for the most part. While many new mancer's were introduced, I did find several of them to be ridiculous. Which was a shame because I just wanted to bask in the presence of cool mancy. I have a feeling book three will do a bit better in this category. Paying special attention to Tyler, the resident Fight-Club-o-Mancer: I'm not sure how I feel about him. I think I like him. But I hate the film Fight Club and the constant references were getting on my nerves. Mancer-wise, he was a very, very interesting character, though.Another big change from the last book was the focus on Imani, Paul's ex-wife. In Flex she's really one-dimensional and rather archetypal in that she's the raging-bitch-ex-wife who left her husband just because she was done with him. This book sheds so much more light on their relationship and even lets the reader get into her head. I totally respect her and her decisions now and I actually ended up really liking her as a character.The best part of the whole novel is the ending. It starts and it goes and it's great. The momentum it keeps up throughout it had me on my toes. I was actually crying during some scenes- a rarity if you know me, and a rather high award. It was amazing and so much better than the last one's ending. I absolutely loved how this book finished off.Last but not least, I need to mention the cover. It's just gorgeous isn't it? I love that Valentine is on the cover! She looks totally badass.So, yes, go read this series. I beg you! It's amazing and worth your time, I promise.
1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. I loved Paul Tsabo in Flex By kirabug Ok so here's the thing: I have the kind of anxiety that made me, as a child, hide behind the living room chair when I watched Scooby Doo. I was the avid reader who drank down any book she was handed, but who kept Stephen King's It locked in the living room closet with a chair in front of it between readings. I don't do drama well.I especially don't do "people make choices that I wouldn't have made and it ends badly for them" well. I have nightmares about the characters. I worry about them.I loved Paul Tsabo in Flex, and I adored Valentine, and everything that happened to Aliyah made my heart ache. It was an action-oriented romp with characters I could easily fall in with who won the day. (If you haven't read it yet, go fix that.)And the first part of The Flux had my action adventure and my characters, older, different, but definitely themselves....But because they were older and changed, they weren't getting along so well and while every one of them was making decisions that seemed right to *them* at the time, they seemed *wrong* to me, so by the time I finished Part 1 I had to put the book away for a few days. I'm still not sure if it was so I could spin down or whether I was punishing them -- sending the book to its room so to speak -- before I picked it back up.Parts two and three were much more like Flex, but couldn't have happened if Part 1 hadn't set it up. And they still led to me tweeting the author with page numbers and "GODDAMMIT [character]" as they continued to make bad choices.If Flex was about learning the universe, The Flux was about learning the characters, and as much as that is *totally* not my thing, between pages 167 and the end I couldn't put it down.And the characters *did* learn their lessons and they *did* get their s*** straight and I'm *still* going to worry about them when I go to bed tonight, but that's why we read -- well, one of a thousand important reasons, but a good one.Thank you Mr. Steinmetz and I look forward to the next one.
1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. is a delight. I can't wait until the sequel comes out By S. Grauschopf This book is one of those that, when you put it down after reading the last page, you don't want to start another book because it's just too hard to say goodbye to the world and the characters. An adrenaline rush from start to finish, it's hard to put down. But although it's full of action, the characters are the true heart of the story. Seeing them grapple with their problems and be changed by them, while staying true to themselves, is a delight.I can't wait until the sequel comes out.
