Thoroughly Enjoyed

Revisado: 02-28-19

I actually enjoyed the book much more than I thought I would, no regrets on the purchase whatsoever.

Kill It With Fire

Revisado: 02-26-19

the first two books were slow but tolerable this one just seems to lose all charm. From showcasing crossovers heroes Runner and Vince as incompetent to villains having no motive (Seriously the gods gain power and life from prayer but seek to exterminate all life because reasons?) and throwing in an apocalypse just for hoots. The good times to be had in this book are just so far and few between that it's not worth it.

Eh

Revisado: 02-26-19

I didn't love or hate the first and thought it would get better but this book is kind of a chore, the ecchi is still weak and the story feels slower than the first. By this point I decided to just grit my teeth and continue because it crossed over with Wild Wastes and I wanted to see that from this perspective.

Meh

Revisado: 02-26-19

To be honest I only bought it because it seemed similar to Wild Wastes but the ecchi is weak and the story is kind of midling.

Kind of Eh

Revisado: 07-18-18

To be fair I may be a slave to expectation but how could I not be when a previous reviewer pointed to The Kingkiller Chronicles as being a similar read. Without spoiling too much the main character comes off anywhere between a tad feminine to a giant sissy at various points in the book, there's a "surprise reveal" partway through the book that may explain this but it that only hampered him as he became little more than a stereotype in my mind. it's also hard to get behind a protagonist that actively fights against progression particularly when done so much that basically every other character outshines them. In the end this book just made me think of Final Fantasy 12 in which every other character has some use, some reason, some impact to the greater story while the lead is kind of just a puppet on a string being pulled along with no real importance. Side Note* Nick Podehl did a wonderful job in narration.

Hard Read

Revisado: 04-19-18

If you grew to be a fan of Darrow through the Red Rising trilogy this book is a hard read/listen. The use of 4 character POV's makes it feel rather disjointed, particularly when you come to hate 3 of the 4. I do not wish to spoil so I shall just use color to announce 3 of the 4 since obviously the 4th is Darrow. Gold, Grey and Red come off as whiny, greedy scum through most of the book though Red is sympathetic in the beginning both Gold and Grey are trash in the beginning, thankfully towards the end both Grey and Red become more tolerable as they learn to think about others aside from themselves but Gold just becomes worse.

A Step Forward

Revisado: 12-06-17

While at times it was frustrating particularly when dealing with a character that has had two major scene stealing scenes in the previous books it is a step forward and kept my attention and interest from beginning to end. The Stormlight Archives has easily become one of my favorite book series and one I couldn't recommend enough.

Tiercel is likely the worst written hero character

Revisado: 04-28-17

Seriously he never accomplishes anything for being the anointed champion and is overshadowed by just about everything and everyone particularly in this book.

Pretty Good

Revisado: 01-21-17

Overall the book is rather good but as with most of the others I found myself bored when the story came around to Amara and Bernard, I also found at maybe about 1 hour and 40 minutes in or so Kitai suddenly annoyed the hell out of me which is a damn shame considering I ranked her amongst my favorites behind Vaug and perhaps on par with Tavi.
