There is a great deal of violence in the series, but this is the only one that starts of with horrific blood splatter in the prologue. Okay, the female demon Lilith is a sperbitch, but for me it sets a sickening tone. I recommend just skipping to chapter one. Secondly, in other volumes where Mack Sutton appears, his obsession with boobs is balanced by his sister Jetta’s rational mind set, so it seems funny. Here Jetta rarely appears, Mack is a central character and comes across as stupid (though his luck ability proves crucial). Declan, super-witch, and Stacia, super-werewolf, are great. Chris Gordon has previously achieved god-like status, so his story is no longer so interesting, but the adventures and challenges of his students, the next generation, are still interesting. This cycle occurs in the great mythologies, but is not emphasized.

The origin of the sentient A.I. OMEGA is pivotal to the whole series. The origin of the relationship between Stacia and Declan. Tanya and Christian have become too overpowered for ordinary human opponents. Here the “torch” is passed to the next generation. Great story.

Interesting premise. An alien world littered with the metallic corpses of ancient inhabitants, still imbued with their essence. This volume has slow pacing in one chapter, which should have been edited down. B or B+ otherwise.

O-C points out MC Corbin lacks inner conflicts, rather vanilla personality. And i agree that the other supers are pretty monotonously evil. The Boys has more variety. While Corbin does get superpowers, it is gradual, and he gets hurt a lot in the process. The powers are not just a Sanderson-esque eating of metals. Why some metal has absorbed power is an interesting twist. I love the kitsune-like metal spirit. The story ends abruptly, but it’s a cliffhanger. Anyway, the true protagonist is the person with the greatest character arc, NOT Corbin. I think it will be the initially unpowered girlfriend, Ms. Lu. I’m looking forward to seeing what happens with her and Tis (Ex-Mrs. Lu).

Although Rogue of X-men steals super-powers, usually temporarily, Dean/Wildcard has such a different system, I didn’t get the similarity at first. And giving superpowers to another through sex must be unique. This is definitely a male fantasy. A non-jealous harem seems unrealistic. They are fighting corrupt Superheroes ala The Boys. And yeah, okay, a few of the male voices are crude. But Despite any criticizable points, it is fast paced, with enough plot complications and twists to keep it interesting. I have already listened to #2, and am looking forward to #3.

Research to create genetically enhanced super-soldiers is probably happening. There is a spiritual methodology that produces psychic abilities as a side-effect, so I don’t believe psychic abilities are genetic. But it makes a good story.

I'm not a gamer. read an RPG manual once. my 1st LitRPG novel.The magic system is complex but well organized. Characters are interesting, well-developed. The protagonist's character arc and power development are gradual and convincing. I'm sold on the series. My huge gripe: From the viewpoint of novel writing, listening to "X has been added to your inventory. Y has been added to your inventory. Z has been added to your inventory." etc., etc. is such an enormous protein f*r*t in an otherwise ingenious novel, it's shocking. I'm guessing this is "authenticity" to gamers. PLEASE NOTE: TO ORDINARY NOVEL READERS THIS IS VERY BAD WRITING. Why not say "The following items have been added to your inventory, " ONCE rather than "has been added to your inventory " over and over and over and over? Argh! This brings the overall from 4.8 or 4.9 down to a 4.0.

Dean Radin gives better evidence of ESP. Several books by former members of the remote viewing program have thorough books on that. Swann ties those facts together with the extensive evidence (now partially admitted by the government) of alien spacecraft in a fascinating theory of why this has all been so thoroughly suppressed. This would dangerously freak out many people but everyone else should listen to this.

In my long ago youth I loved Spider-Man because it was much more realistic than Superman etc. The question, “What would it really be like if there were superheroes? If one WERE a superhero?” Has been chewed over from different perspectives, X-men, “Super Powereds”, “Wearing the Cape”, Feehan’s Game series, etc. Seanan McGuire’s twist on this shocked and amazed me. Her plots are insightful and twisty, but more importantly, her character development is engaging and touching. One of my many variants is a grumpy old man, but this volume made me teary-eyed an embarrassing number of times. There are many aspects my writer variant would not touch with a wand (like Santa Clause as a supporting character, for gods sakes). the human-ness of Velveteen and her main friends is astonishing to me. My learning-to-write self intends to study this.

Astra from the Wearing the Cape series did a cross over with Velveteen which was fun enough to make me curious, although the Velveteen concept seemed a bit silly to me. In her own universe, Velveteen is much more interesting. Seanan does good characterization and world-building despite the cartoonish concept. I am now a fan and bought volume 2.
