After a solid first book this one is disappointing.

Revisado: 11-23-24

The book is too preachy. It feels like DA:Veilguard, where the social justice fighting is getting out of hand and destroys immersion.
The first book was relatively subtle and felt organic, while this one starts with an unfunny summary continues rather weakly and quickly evolves in a class about they and themses. I wish the author wouldn't insult our intelligence and could do this less handfisted.

Simplisticly written, but enjoyable

Revisado: 05-10-24

There isn't much depth to it and the end of the three books are always somewhat unsatisfactory and disappointing. Still, it's an enjoyable listen. Stuff is happening and the characters aren't really offensively annoying. If the author ever moves away from stereotypical fantasy and gives the characters more room to breath and to interact in a more meaningful and based way, there could be some real gem waiting for us someday.
It's okay.

First interesting trilogy disappoints.

Revisado: 10-22-23

The first book made me curious for more. Sadly the story becomes an overcrowded shallow mess. After the first book the story feels like reading a telephone book of Gods written for teenagers and in the third part it completely devolves into a fever dream or childish fan fiction.
There was obviously a lot of thought put into the universe. If only the pacing stayed slow and the presentation was more in depth and personal. Why did it end up being "and then and then and then" story telling?

Its whineyness hurts a otherwise interesting story

Revisado: 08-28-22

It has some good writing passages in it and the story itself could be great. Sadly it's being held back by either too good or too bad characters and it's way too melodramatic. Some parts are like a soap opera and are just annoying. This book had me roll my eyes many times. The narrator tried his best, but also went a bit overboard every now and then.

Pay to win

Revisado: 03-27-22

It's an entertaining story and it's written well enough, but I dislike the passages, where it's like reading a game manual. There are also too many stats for my taste. And it's a bit too campy.
The narrator is doing a good job.

Good book, but could have been better.

Revisado: 10-01-21

It's worth a read or a listen, but the author is getting too predictable. These books are just history repeating itself over and over and over again.
I was hoping for my favorite character to finally be a shining beacon of hope, but of course that wouldn't be gritty and realistic enough. So we're getting more disappointment and nothingness. It's hard for me to stay with characters and a world, where nothing matters and all goes down the drain. It really loses all appeal for me, if there is nothing and no one to root for.

Not as good, as the first books

Revisado: 08-20-21

Too many coincidences, inconsequential story telling, no one to root for, too many sex scenes in too much detail and too nihilistic for my taste. After the first good books this is definetly a let down.

Wonderfully entertaining

Revisado: 07-30-21

Though the start wasn't bad, I had to warm up to the book a bit. Soon I wouldn't stop listening to it. It's rather well written, the characters are interesting and the story has been unfolding nicely and I'm very curious as of how it's going to continue. Splendid piece of work. The narration is also very well done.

Not as good, as the first book. It's still entertaining though. I'm looking forward to the next one.

Sophisticated and vulgar... It's great!

Revisado: 07-15-21

This audio book is well narrated, the story is captivating and I like the characters. It's not a typical fantasy story, as it's more about heists, than adventures or exploration. I recommend it, if you can handle "foul" language. To me it makes sense that street kids and their peers talk in such a manner.
