aggressively sexual extremely early on

Revisado: 05-17-22

within the first couple hours theres at least 2 incidents of sexual assault or thoughts of sexually assaulting someone, the first time is even from the mc. I guess the author is trying to go for a darker vibe but imo there's better ways. this book isnt for me

A rather sorry waste of space (spoilers)

Revisado: 08-14-20

To be honest the premise of the story wasn’t bad, however, the way it was told and the narrator telling it ruined it for me. The author fell short on many occasions taking the short route that brought the story along quickly rather than actually developing it as a story. Easy solutions were ramrodded into place and the MC Nathan found MacGuffins around every corner. The pearls which let him do basically anything and everything like creating a minion. A minion which required two very rare resources that he just so happened to have because of pure luck. Not to mention the fact that in less than a day the area he inhabited started to be familiar to him? And in less than three he had it mastered without using a map. Oh and the fact that he had the perfect skill set to make an “expertly” designed maze (while the other character who knows nothing about what had happened congratulates him) is yet another. Not to mention the abhorrent amount of needless repetition, but I digress. The point is that the author uses quite a bit of lazy writing to dance over a truly interesting premise. I’m enraptured by the thought of a person who gets misplaced in a brand new world and turns out to have a major role in it, though developing that story over more than a scant few hours would’ve been preferable to this dumpster fire. At least that’s the bare bones without spoiling more than I already have. The narrator is much easier to discuss. Sadly Mr. Loving was a bit flat. I was taken in by the idea, not the writing and especially not his flaccid telling of the story. I don’t blame him though as his rather daunting lack of range is more than likely a product of the encephalitic writing he rather blandly portrayed for the lovely listeners that got taken in like fools in a carnival game. I don’t mean to be spiteful but story telling like this is an outrage and an outright pity to those who took the time to listen to it. Honestly it’s a rather sad affair though I will say that at least the story keeps moving(even if that moving is at the speed of light). Releasing three ancient evils over the course of three days is rather awkward for a first book after all. What’s next, work disintegration in a fortnight?
