Great book with lovable characters

Revisado: 02-24-25

Great book with lovable characters. I’m being told my review isn’t long enough yet even though I have no more to say. So, here we are just typing awaiting the moment the red box is no longer showing around this form field It is kind of weird it has not gone away yet so I’m going to rep and submit. Should it be accepted I bit you adieu.

My favorite book in the series so far. Perfection.

Revisado: 02-14-25

I’m not one for spoilers so I’ll just this, many of the characters show depth they’ve only ever alluded to in the past books. We saw flashes of it here and there but this book has more raw “human” emotion that took me by surprise in the best possible way.

Pony’s moment with his best friend literally brought tears to my eyes. Such an amazing addition to what was already my favorite series. I’ve just finished it for the second time since it came out 3 days ago. I’m starting again.

It’s perfect

Revisado: 01-25-25

Honestly, I am thankful these are in the Audible Plus catalog but I would gladly pay for these books. I really hope the author, Daniel Rigby keeps writing this series and others with his effortless but brilliant sarcasm and unexpected moments. I don’t often give 5 star reviews and it’s incredible the author is also the narrator. It’s all so perfect.

Fantastic

Wow, this was an incredible book I was surprised I had never heard of it. I’ll be moving on to more books by the author.

Even better than the first

Revisado: 10-16-24

I’ve become a bit obsessed with litRPG and have been reading as many as I can get my hands on. I would put this in the top five with DCC, HWFWM, Cradle, The Wandering Inn (I know this one is lot for everyone). I honestly love these books so far and am starting book three as soon as I’m done writing this review.

Free, but I would have paid.

Revisado: 10-10-24

There where moments the characters felt two dimensional but in the end they were fully fleshed out as this twisting story unfolded. I suspect the entire book exists as someone laid in bed one night and thought about a situation some people find themselves in being reversed which seems impossible unless….. I’m of course being intentionally vague simply because I hate spoilers. I listened to this book because it is free on Audible. I honestly had low expectations a but I would have paid for this book now that I know how great it was.

Perfect intro to what is sure to be an amazing series

Revisado: 09-19-24

I was so mad when I heard this book was being written before another TMC but this book did not disappoint. Just like TMC there is a wonderfully lovable group of people with a wide range of backgrounds. Richard Osman is just amazing at character development. This was a fun rollercoaster of a mystery that I was sad to finish. I can’t wait for the next book in this series as well.

Thankfully there are no otters jumping into the river

Revisado: 09-06-24

I was somewhat nervous about this book as I couldn’t handle one more otter jumping into Heaven’s River. The book started out strong and then threw a fake that made me start to get Heaven’s River vibes. Thankfully it was a faint and the introduction of new beings. The book ends strong but in what I’ve learned to expect from modern science-fiction, that being it simply sets up the next book.

Glad I listened. It’s my second favorite book on the series.

Yikes, JD Kirk goes full Xenophobe

Revisado: 07-09-24

I am actually a little depressed about this book. I have enjoyed every book Barry J Hutchinson (aka JD Kirk) has written. This book, though entertaining, is filled with enough vitriol and xenophobia disguised as humor to almost be nausea inducing.

I understand the author is unhappy his adult son stepped in front of traffic as he failed to do the standard look both directions before crossing the street. He has somehow made his son’s poor life decision and the subsequent cost of medical care into a personal vendetta against the US. I’m just sad he used an amazing character like Bob Hoon instead of being happy with the ranting he already did in his newsletter. He’s taken a loathsome character that was redeemed by this spinoff series and made him a mirror image of the author’s own prejudices. Hey, but don’t worry he presents it as humor so it’s fine.

The audacity of Bob Hoon, or the author, to say/write how offensive any Scottish stereotype is in the midst of a book that is 90% intentionally offensive stereotypes about America is so ridiculously socially blind it’s moved beyond the absurd and right into the realm of open and unrestrained prejudice.

I cannot express my disappointment enough that the author wrote this book but then went further and self published it. I’ve personally always admired Scotland and its people. Sadly, I’m left wondering if they’re all just Englishmen living on an island with delusions of grandeur, or if it’s just one angry Englishmen living amongst Scots. Oh, and literally nobody thinks Scottish people are referred to as Scotch, that isn’t a thing.

Just what I was looking for

Revisado: 05-10-24

I wish there were more well written thrillers that take place in the wild. I enjoyed this book very much. It is oddly timeless for such a contemporary book. I got pangs of A River Runs Through It mixed with River Wild and maybe even Misery to an extent.
