A big step up from book one

Revisado: 08-28-16

This sequel takes the fun and freshness of the first book and polishes and perfects it. It's improved even more by getting right into it without dangling a lot of bait around. Time for book three which I'm sure is going to improve even more.

Mostly good

Revisado: 07-06-16

In my honest opinion this book was in need of some good editing before being released. Some parts are just not very coherent and all the characters seem to have incredible mood swings constantly. I admire all the voices the narrator does, but some of them fall flat emotionally.

However, the story is interesting. It walks the line of serious adventure and dudes fucking around playing C&C very well. Somewhat reminding me of the show Archer, they never miss opportunities for puns, bits, and dirty jokes in a natural way. Additionally, I've never played D&D but the way they utilize traits, skills, and abilities feels good and fresh. LVL 1 never felt so weak but full of potential.

This book is definitely worth a shot if you need to renew your need card with something utterly ridiculous and incredibly intriguing all at the same time.

Fantastic book with a good sense of time

Revisado: 10-19-15

This was a great installment in the Burton and Swinburne series. It faithfully and strongly follows Springheeled Jack by crafting the world and the culture so brilliantly. Additionally I thought there was a feeling that time, long and short, was always an enemy with a strong feeling of urgency controlling the pace.

My only issue was in the reading it seemed like there were a lot of mistakes in naming characters. Several times Burton would reply to Burton in a Swinburne voice and the like. One proof listening would solve this as it hit pretty hard on the ears, but other than that it was a great listen.

Such a world

Revisado: 09-04-15

I was suggested this title because my girlfriend knows that above all I love a well crafted world that you can just feel in all its aspects. This did not fail. It was also a tremendously well written take with some of the most unique characters I have ever read about and a chillingly dark feel that I can't get enough of. I highly recommend this book.

Fantastic read

Revisado: 03-20-15

I got this on a whim and it was just entertaining. Most zombie universes are stories of how heroes lose and lose fast, survival is much more interesting.

My only critique is in the voice acting. While for the most part it is done very well a lot of human voices, particularly human soldiers, seem to lack some of the mood of the story. The tempo gets thrown a bit. Luckily human soldiers rarely talk and everyone else sounds so natural.
