Having previously enjoyed Mike Kraus’s Flashpoint series I decided to give this a shot. It started out well enough, but by book three it was getting boring. Characters are introduced but then skipped over and the big drama from the previous books gets resolved off screen with zero satisfaction considering the angst that’s been building..
So much dirty language. I saw Grace Hamilton’s name and have loved many of her books, so I purchased it, but couldn’t stomach all the cussing to even listen to a couple chapters. The books I have listened to of hers has been good and somewhat clean but this was bad.
I could write for hours about how absolutely s****y this series is in great detail but I’ll try to keep it short. The author(s) of this series I’m convinced is some horny 15 year old. If he’s not overusing descriptions such as “premordial hunger” or “ancient hunger” he’s making sure he describes how every woman..
While the world is somewhat interesting, as someone who grew up in Japan the pronunciation was so bad I couldn’t get past chapter 5. Kun after a boys name is pronounced “koon” not “Kuhn”. Chan after a girls name is always “chun”. I’m surprised they did not do their research! I started to like the..
while this storyline had great potential, the author did minimal research on many important parts of it. in particular spacial relations, time to travel distances, military protocols, Navy seals, average weight a person can carry or drag, etc.
Don’t like the voice of the narrator. And don’t like how he was compared to Steven King in the description. I don’t hear it.
Review from A Scion’s Duty →
This book and the last are just side quest and power leveling. Almost 40 hours of content, and it was a waste of time. Entirely. The MC doesn’t gain any more intelligence. He still does dumbass stuff, cocky, and attempts to be clever by a 5 year olds standards. These books are only good to..
was kinda bored for most of the book but after the action climax in the middle it became much more interesting, would recommend it for the second half more than anything. narrator is meh, try preview first

I loved the entire story….being a runner myself I can appreciate the emotional connection to Ben.
Review from Way of the Wolf →
The MC has more plot armor then luffy and Naruto combined. The author seems to be very young or just unimaginative. The profile updates take over 2 minutes at 1.2 speed. Not to mention you have to listen at 1.2 speed to even make it through the book. It makes no sense how the MC..
