Great concept, strong start, poor overall execution. This story would be best served by a drastic reduction of fluff. This story could literally be 1/4 it’s current length if the author avoided rattling off a dozen similes to describe any one thing. They could also remove the endless diatribes meant to familiarize you with a character, but are really just emotionally draining. The author has a serious case of telling instead of showing.

There’s no definitive climax. There’s a teased boss battle at the very end which is avoided. There are pointless tangents which amount to nothing scattered throughout the book, but especially apply to the dolphins. Not one single death is exciting except maybe the first one in the sub.

The book set itself up to be a classic monster thriller, but it’s ultimately a bore which tries to make up for this lacking with feel good fluff.

Tara Devlin shows her story telling prowess once again in The Onion Killer.It’s fairly mindless fun, and yet can lead the reader somewhere they never expected.

This story has the vibe and pacing of a teen horror, and delivers well. It simple, straightforward fun; something you can sit back and ride through.

It’s basically an isolation horror story, not unlike the movie alien, or Steven Kings The Shining. Just combined with a British Navel story or a lost at sea story, which becomes much more dominant eventually. Overall the story becomes surrealistic and is introspective overall. I felt like this story would’ve been perfect if it were 2/3rds the length.

Title says it all. Well, almost. It’s a fairly fun book, the kind you can shut off your brain to. It’s a book version of many teen horrors.

This book was a trip! The story is incredibly dark, and seems to be well researched for an alternate history medieval France. I was a little put off by the fictional Catholic theme at first, but I stuck with it and wasn’t disappointed. The fights and description of battle are on par with the Iliad and the Odyssey, but I would put the overall story telling on par with Lord of the Rings with Witcher vibes. Not for the feint of heart, the easily triggered, and honestly probably not great for casual readers, this is truly a harrowing tale.

A very well told story, which makes science into a page-turning mystery. All taking place in a setting many Americans aren’t all that familiar with… revolutionary and post revolutionary China

The only issue I had was the author at the beginning; makes it a bit too much about himself. Feels counter to the general message or feels a bit high-handed. Dates himself a bit regarding some of the intro topics.

Otherwise, a very interesting listen. My first exposure to the full version of some familiar quotes and concepts.

This is definitely a story for those who wish for a different time— a time which fits their inner narrative and want for a more masculine society. To you, I wish you the best lol.

Otherwise, it’s an ok book. Plenty of plot holes sloppily filled in with “being bada$$” or being “hard”. Decent descriptions though, and good fight scenes overall. Feels a bit like the movie ‘Pitch Black’ at times. Tune out, and it’s a decent adventure.

This is an excellent book and production; filled with intrigue, action, and mysticism bound up in what is probably a post apocalyptic setting.

I’m usually hesitant to draw comparisons between works by different authors, and It shares a lot of themes with the Stormlight Archive by Brandon Sanderson— I feel like if you enjoy that series you might enjoy this book.
