5 books in and I cannot say I love this series.
The author has a tendency to repeat himself, which is very tiresome.
He also writes these long novels that are partly filled with mundane things. For instance, this book. It was filled with mostly insights & a few skirmishes. I feel like most of this book could have been condensed into an hour & I would have walked away just the same.
Finally, I had to listen to the entire series on 2.15× speed just to get through it. While the narrator is decent, he’s very slow.
I’m disappointed that I have to wait probably another 6 months for the next book. I’m also afraid that when it comes out it’ll be similar to this book & the last regarding actually content and the lack of continuation for the overall plot. At least 60% of these last two books were spent in Nathan’s head.
This could have been an excellent series had the author not got so caught up in telling tales that really didn’t need to be told. Also Nathan’s leveling up is kind of absurd, ranking up for simply thinking all the time. It makes it seem as though everyone else on this world is stupid compared to him which is far from true.
