Slow burn, boring middle

Revisado: 01-19-25

As I write this I have three hours left. I’ll finish the book, I’ll listen or read the novellas and do the same with the follow up books.

What was an exciting first handful of hours turned into a somewhat excruciating slow burn in the middle. What a waste of time. I hope, this is just one of those necessary evils akin to to massively boring part of any journey while en route to the end.

I wonder how many of the other reviews as a homage to the excellent nature of the authors other work.

I think I could have slept off the laser handful of hours, rejoined the book, and been none the wiser.

Thoroughly Enjoyed

Revisado: 09-03-24

I’ve been thinking about executing on some ideas I’ve been considering for some time. I found the book illuminating, and I’m excited at the prospect of a more accessible ecosystem in the defense hemisphere.

This was an excellent read, and I highly recommend.

Mixed feelings

Revisado: 08-20-23

I enjoyed the Dragon Blade series, and for the most part have enjoyed this series as well.

However, I do think there were too many competing stories vying for attention and not adding a huge volume of substance to the book. Towards the end I wasn’t sure if the book was even really about the protagonist any longer.

I also don’t understand why authors of many fantasy series shy away from intimate relationships. Most capable beings of power like those depicted in this book would be more than interested in relationships, short or long term. I was disappointed in the distance that author places between Holt and Talia, and I don’t think it served much. I was equally disappointed in how the author approached this situation in the dragon blade series. I didn’t get the sense of Holt “growing into his own”, as a function of this development, I just thought, “that guy is just gonna walk away without even trying, weak”.

Anyway, will read the next few books in the series to the end.

Exceptional, absolutely, exceptional

Love this story. I’m sad it came to an end, and I’m hopeful the author may return to it somebody to build upon such an excellent series once again.

Thanks again for such an excellent and compelling story!

Decent, got bored.

Revisado: 05-06-23

I’ve listened to many titles in the genre. This particular series isn’t bad, but I lost interested by book 7, which for me, typically does not happen.

I don’t have any specific complaints, it was effective at passing the time, and I did enjoy many aspects of the story, but it wasn’t a series I would rate at the pinnacle of LitRPG.

Superb

Revisado: 12-29-22

Superb writing and voice acting. I throughly enjoyed the series, and my only disappointment is that there aren’t more Kings Dark Tidings books to read available yet. After finishing book 5 I anxiously await additional novels to continue to discovering the world Kel Kade is unraveling for her readers.

Highly recommend!

Love the series, book 8 was slow

Revisado: 12-18-22

This was a hit of a filler book. I’ve enjoyed the series very much, but this book the least. It was short and didn’t have much substance relative to the prior books. Hopefully book 9 will get things back on track again.

The Series is Perfect

Revisado: 12-14-22

I just finished the final book in this series. They are spectacular, what a fun ride. I sure hope to see the Merry Band or Pirates back in some other galaxy or universe spanning event in the future. Craig left the door open for a lot of ways things could progress down the line and a lot of events unaddressed(but not in a bad way), that could make good substance for additional stores.

Spend the money on all the books! I did, and I bought paperback variants for my library as well. Well done!
