Entertaining but inconsistent (In Progress, minor spoilers)

I’m enjoying this series as a whole but there are a few immersion breaking moments but my current review deals with one in particular at this point. So if you’re this far into the series you’ll know who Shane is. In the previous books he’s been in he was portrayed as an older guy with a damaged past based off his interactions with other characters and how he was written plus being retired to the point he wasn’t in the period to be recalled to active duty but suddenly he’s young and a possible romantic rival to Brad. It just threw me out of my immersion. Once I finish I may come back and change this.

I really wanted to return this book due to the beginning, it was painful dealing with the inaccuracy of the MCs time as a Army Ranger. It felt like I was dealing with a 90s to early 2000s military show/movie when they just used pop culture knowledge rather than actually ask someone for accurate information. However, after slogging through it I couldn’t stop listening, I enjoyed the narrator and the Viking lore! I am excited for book 2 but if the author is going to incorporate more military stuff please talk to someone who was/is actually a Ranger!

I will come back and finish this review later but I am enjoying this book. The voice actor is solid and the story is enjoyable. The one problem I have is that the authors get most of the gun lingo and knowledge right but so far I’ve run into the following line “the hammer on the Glock” Glocks do not have a hammer, he may have meant slide in the context it was used. Minor issue but it can break the immersion

I don’t write a lot of reviews but with the 2nd book finally coming out tomorrow I decided to.

Potential Spoilers
This series is written by two of my favorite authors and voiced by one of the absolute best in the business and they delivered. The book has an amazing story and the tidbits you learn about the world makes me want to learn more! The only single issue I have with this book is how the antagonist is an absolute jerk to the MC the whole series but after an incident, the MCs long time best friend suddenly develops feelings for the person who makes Rays life absolute hell. It shouldn’t matter how tragic his unknown backstory is, she is still crushing on the guy who tried to “kill” her best friend and bullied him almost start to finish of the book. It just seemed shallow to me, hopefully these actions will all make sense and reverse my thoughts after book 2.

So far I’m enjoying this book and enjoyed the previous ones as well. I’m a bit of gear and gun snob and after hearing that one character was using a Knights SR-25 had me excited until it was said that it would shot a 5.56 round at the target. A SR-25 is a 7.62x51 rifle not a 5.56. I know this is belated as there are numerous other books at this point but I hope the author has become more knowledgeable about firearms and their characteristics. Not a huge issue but definitely broke my immersion

So Luke is amazing as always and brings Boyd to life and his talent had me feeling a range of emotions but mainly had me laughing at all the right points. My only complaint and I hope the author keeps up with reviews is firearm terminology. The book would go into all the gun lingo a true enthusiast or someone with extensive experience with guns then suddenly say things “clip” rather than magazine or 5.54 rather than 5.56. It would break my immersion from an overall great books. But as I said, I really enjoyed the book and narrator and can’t wait for the next one!
