If it weren’t for the narrator consistently mispronouncing a certain character’s name (In the second book!) I’d have rated this higher.
Almost amazing.

If it weren’t for the narrator consistently mispronouncing a certain character’s name (In the second book!) I’d have rated this higher.
The narrator pauses in odd spots and constantly uses terrible inflection. The writing is redundant. I kept imaging this book being written and read to me by a 7th grade teacher. It was a cool premise for a story but poorly written and read. I probably won’t listen to the second one.
I tried, honestly I did. But this is the worst book and series. I listened to the entire first book and part of the second. There is no way a former Army Ranger would possibly talk, think or act the way portrayed. The story line ambles along like there was no prior planning and just..
The first two books of this series started bad and got worse. Not going to waste my time reading this last book. Characters were absolute morons, proving that you just can’t fix stupid!
First series by this author I am unable to complete. Very childish character development. Can’t believe I paid the trilogy. ?
I am really really struggling through this book. The story is must “ok”. The narrator is really really HORRIBLE. He speaks in like a “cartoon voice” for each of the characters. The characters come across as being less than “all there”……It is so bad lol. I was going to read more of the series, but..
Whoever wrote this has zero concept of war no understanding of the word strong or strength,which he used in every other sentence. A complete failure with so much promise unfulfilled. Book one, wow, book 2 meh, book 3 total flop.
I’m not sure how anyone who is not interested in the source material could read all this, nor how anyone interested in it could permit themselves to so brutally massacre the pronunciations of even the simplest names or characters and places. The content is great – the reading, not so much.
I have always really liked this author until this book. It does not really even sound like he wrote this tale. It seems like they were more interested in overall word count just to fill pages with too many(way too many) endless added explanations about things that did not really even matter to the story…
It was like Hardy Boys meets Lethal Weapons without the pretty faces. I so enjoyed Greyson’s other works. So very disappointing. I listened to the end so don’t go there
