Scott builds beautiful story arches, complex characters, and historically realistic sci-fi. But I am SO glad I read/heard The Crypt before listening to this podcast/book series. I’m a new follower of Scott, but I am an avid (mostly hard science) sci-fi fan of many years.

Narration aside (he reads his work honestly, as he writes), this book 1 storyline is shockingly flat for some characters. Borderline damsel-in-distress/easy listening sci fi 101 exhausting. I may have missed a beat, and I respect writing at varying levels to meet different audiences, but wow.

The Crypt put the best and worst of humanity on display through so many individual voices and characters, I’ve listened through it 3 times.

And these characters feel pale in comparison. The women in particular are written so poorly in book one I want to bail out from lady-trope exhaustion. Woof, literally who doesn’t need saving. I’m staying optimistic…but I’m also waiting for the next Crypt book.

This is…not good. Applegate is brilliant but the story and writing is shockingly bad. Waiting for this character/story to grow a personality or some humility was a waste of time and money.

I’ll sleep well knowing it was on sale, and that I did my best to warn you.
