Great ideas to shake things up for the normal offices

I loved reading this. I need to go back through it and get away from crazy. I think it could make a big difference for me.

A great “getting started” primer

Revisado: 11-19-24

There are some wonderful ideas here from Chris and those he interviewed. New ways to get started, and novel mindset changes.

Not bad, took a bit to get into it

Revisado: 10-28-24

Good book, nice character development. Bit slow at the start and in some other places, but a decent book.

I expected My Little Pony in space, not what I got

Revisado: 07-05-24

I was pleasantly surprised by this installment. Turned out better than expected. Good writing, plots moving forward, the crew is becoming more cohesive, and I’m enjoying seeing it all come together. So far, I think this is the strongest entry in the Last Horizon series.

Pretty good read, some hand-wavy bits and fairly substantial plot armor in places

Revisado: 12-11-23

I might be over analyzing or comparing this with Cradle, but honestly, I hold Will as a better author than this. I wish there were more world building, more explanation of the many different magic systems involved, more character development, and in short, more story.

The Engineer could have been half as long as it currently is, or maybe 1/3 less and it wouldn’t have changed anything. Stormhammer was a decent BBEG, but it was repetitive, and his plot armor was strong. Mel had some development, but that’s all. We got some foreshadowing perhaps for Veric’s growth, but we’ll see what happens.

I’d also like to see some of the story and plot carry on through the books besides just the crew. Sure, we’ll see more as the books continue with certain items, but the sense of doom isn’t there like it was in Cradle or even Traveler’s Gate. I haven’t read The Elder Empire yet, so can’t comment there.

Good things: loved the humor. Many scenes made me smile. Glad the crew is starting to come together as a group, hope to see more of that. I also was glad to hear which iteration this is in. Curious as to the timeline with it and other events that happen in the wider universe.

Such a great ending to a wonderful series

Revisado: 06-09-23

One thing I would have changed, but it’s minor. I won’t give any spoilers. I very much enjoyed this book and the whole series.

Good story overall, but way too telegraphed

Revisado: 04-10-23

I enjoyed it, and I’m sure it’ll be a good series. The big things in the story were very telegraphed though.
