The Gailen accent is pure aural torture

Revisado: 04-18-25

The rest of the book is just fine, but the Gailen accent used in the Epilogue is so bad it sounds like a record playing in reverse. If the character Gailen has any dialogue in the next book please choose a different accent. I get not wanting a scottish or english accent but literally anything is better than what I just heard. It's dealbreaker bad.

Didn't finish, couln't finish

Revisado: 12-16-24

Johnathan McClain is a fantastic narrator. The pace of this story does the narration a massive disservice. Very little progression occurs in this story.

It's 80% meandering internal dialogue being shouted into your ears for over 20 hours. Lanterns are repeatedly hung on the MC's penchant for meandering internal dialogue, but instead of curtailing it the author leans into it more and hangs another lantern on the length and volume of the meandering internal, utterly devoid of connection to the story, dialogue.

The shouting is really well acted, but a person can only take so much. If even half of the shouting was used to progress the story then this would have been a far better production.

Too long, too short, not good.

Revisado: 10-07-24

This was a rather tedious read that I struggled to finish. I didn't think I'd ever say that about a Eric Ugland book but here we are. You know how occasionally Eric will dialogue wander in Good Guys or Bad Guys? This book is mostly just that, while taking place in one setting. The dialogue is excruciating to get through, but if you remove it (the way a proper editor should have), this book would be about ten pages long.

Skip it. This book is garbage. It's also written like it wants to be a new series which is going to be a hard pass from me dog.

Pure Garbage

Revisado: 09-02-24

It's The Beginning After The End rewritten by an amateur who is allergic to adventure, but at some point took a class in character dialogue.

Not a bad book, but hard to tell if it was good

Revisado: 04-02-24

The problem is the narration. A lot of the time the narrator starts his sentences with a really high pitched note. It's not every sentence but it's frequent enough that you start to notice it, and then quickly start to loathe it which frequently lifts you out of the story to wonder what's the matter with the narrator. David Thorpe's reading is otherwise pretty good. Enjoyable even.

Not good

Revisado: 03-11-24

The narration's good, this book isn't. The only time I've ever seen complaints about a narrator swap it's when the new narrator is terrible (Altered Carbon book 3). That's not this. John is good.

I guess I shouldn't say the story is good or bad, but more of a very boring, annoying chore. For how whiny and full of self doubt the MC is he sure gets things done, but only after you get to hear about ALL of his self doubts, all the time, every time.

Also I despise time reset tropes to the point I never buy books based on them, so.. that gripe is on me, but the first book was fine so I hoped it wouldn't be that bad. It was. gg series I'm out.

These books are truly something else.

Revisado: 02-13-24

These books are well written, and very well acted. WTB Netflix series. Smart shoppers choose Buymort.

It's not our fault Amazon goes at you harder than an all-you-can-peg Shadow Master shindig. Try joining/creating a union that will actually do something about it. SAGAFTRA could use their pocket change to buy ScribD for you lot.

I enjoyed it however

Revisado: 07-23-23

90% of this book is just ONE fight sequence. You could entirely skip this book and not miss a single thing. That's not an exaggeration.

I enjoy the slapstick, the banter, but not the story. It's like reading a saturday morning cartoon. It's fun and has a place, but I need way more meat on the bone.

15.5 straight hours of slice of life

Revisado: 06-10-23

This is very boring school slice of life for the first 15.5 hours of the book. Literally nothing noteworthy happens until the last 1.5 hours, and the ending is as predictable as the book is boring.

Also none of the events of book 1 appear in book 2.

This entire book could have been written in ten chapters. I can't imagine what the author was thinking when they published this garbage.
