Grim

Revisado: 03-30-22

I felt grim foreboding throughout this book and that’s it. Could hardly finish it. It was all plot and no soul. I was not rooting for the MC nor had interest in the other characters anymore. Too bad because book 1 was so great.

Thriller only

Revisado: 09-09-21

There is backstory, action, drama, and thrilling escapes. But lacks storytelling as to why I should care for these fast allies and enemies. The world she’s saving sounds horrid and she’s unworthy herself.

Good idea, so-so execution

Revisado: 08-30-21

The first half of the book is interesting enough to overlook some confusing dialogue and plot holes. I was getting pretty excited about a new series, but then the villain dialogue turns awful and the ending is very unsatisfying. It’s confusing about which characters to care about because they are all pretty garbage. Lastly the MC continually goes against his better judgement and gets screwed. Gets old

The performer is ok. His voice range and cadence were hard to sit through at normal speed.

1st book is amazing, 2nd pretty good

Revisado: 03-24-21

Still funny and wild as the first. Wish there was more progress. 3 hours inside the book is covered in like 6 hours and kept getting more complicated and distracted. So go into it to enjoy the journey, not to see how they overcome anything because the victories usually roll them into greater danger and jadedness instead of feel goodness.

Skill, world building, some story

Revisado: 03-23-21

It’s heavy on game options and choices and medium on story. No battle and no big obstacles, which can be great, but I need more story personally. There is a lot of story potential that will probably be realized in sequels so I will probably read the next.

5 star series with rough first book

Revisado: 03-09-21

The first book is an interesting read, but gets too depressingly dark for my tastes. I want to review this one poorly, but the rest of the series is so inspirational, funny, and fun to read. If I read this again I’ll skim this one and savor the next books.

Comic book as a novel

Revisado: 03-02-21

The story is great, but I didn’t get into the comic book dialogue and sound effects. Those parts were cheesy. Some of the fight scenes were also awkward and had holes. Case in point, if you can freeze someone and then follow up with a weak wind blast to kill them then you are a moron.

Surprisingly mediocre

Revisado: 05-06-20

John writes THE BEST sarcastic characters, action, guns, and romance. It sets his books apart. Unfortunately very little of this is in the book.

The setup, lore, and mystery is engaging so do give it a shot.

That didn’t give me enough to stay interested in the last half of the book though. I think he skips over the stories where you get to understand the chemistry between characters leaving me not caring that much about them. I certainly didn’t appreciate the kick in the balls ending.

Potential lost

Revisado: 04-11-20

The premise is interesting, but the execution is so so.

The characters have enough backstory, there are mysteries to solve, and the MC is on the brink of death every other second. Plus the romance is handled well with the first character. The second is rushed.

The boring parts have to do with the constant descriptions of the agony or the pleasure or the bizarreness being “the most I’ve ever experienced” with more words like that than detail. And the MC lucks through way too much. They screw around for 80% of the time and pull out smart moves in the last 5 seconds.

Mediocre

Revisado: 03-21-20

The performance and inventiveness of this world is well done. But the story telling and dialogue is boring and cliche. The author is trying to setup a huge world and backstory, but it’s just not entertaining enough to care.
