Vampire vs Werewolves

Revisado: 04-29-25

It was another banger by Quintrell. This was a pretty good one, a bit better than book 2 and a bit worse than book 1. Awesome monster on monster on ranger combat. Asher isn't even my favorite character in these books but I still really enjoyed his back story told over this trilogy. Seeing Russell's was great too.

It was alright.

Revisado: 12-12-24

The narration wasn't very good. Lots of mispronunciations which took me out of the story. The story itself is what you expect: a decent reason to throw a bunch of Predators, Humans and Xenos together. It plays out how you think with some good action but it never goes outside the premise of the story or throws any surprises. I am glad this was a free book, at least when I read it, and I wouldn't recommend spending much money on it. Flying Xenos were pretty cool.

Written by the horniest of teenagers

Revisado: 09-04-24

This book is really really horny. The MC is supposed to be this old age that has lived all these lifetimes but... they ever only tell you that. The story never shows you. There are a lot of cut to black sex scenes that then shoehorn in some sex act at the close of the chapter, like "when the fox man cums his tail wags". The character was also supposed to be this smart confident woman but most of the time it just felt like a woman only in name and just a horny teenager in disguise.

There is a scene where the MC talks about how they are the greatest general in the land because of all her lifetimes but the plan she comes up with is just to bottleneck fight in a canyon and hid some troops in a cave behind the enemy force. A fine plan but a far cry from a military genius.

The performance was stellar. The VO had great tone was understandable and did a variety of voices letting you know who was speaking. I wish this was a better book for her.

The worst part is the "to be continued" at the end with any sort of resolution for this book. Just terrible and I wish I got my money back.

Terrible Pronunciation

Revisado: 03-27-24

Most of the stories are pretty cool and fit in well with the rest of the lore of the High Republic. We get little snippets of characters we know and plenty of new ones to discover.

However it is beyond baffling that nearly all of the narrators can't pronounce the word "Nihil" correctly. Most of them, all but one, say "Nile" like the river. It is frustrating that they seemingly didn't care enough to get the main antagonist's names correct. Since only one got it right I am giving them that many stars.

Misleading synopsis

Revisado: 01-09-24

I liked the story overall but it was a much different story than the synopsis would leave you to believe.

Very juvenile

Revisado: 07-19-23

I was excited for the premise of this book. It was terrible. Mostly from the dialogue and tone. It had some interesting ideas but would ruin that almost immediately with middle school grade dialogue.

This is the second book by this author I gave a shot to and I don't understand how they get paid to write or how they were able to land a job writing for Aliens. It is baffling.

The narrator did a good job.

Oh great a Kaiju story!

Revisado: 06-22-23

Too bad it isn't really about Kaiju. This is more of a corporate espionage story that has Kaiju set pieces. If you are looking for a Kaiju action story with cool fights and big smashed up set pieces you will be sorely disappointed.

Instead this is a story about a down on his luck loser that gets a new job tending to Kaiju on an alternate world. It is much more about his experiences, and making non stop lame lower than dad level jokes constantly. The Kaiju are barely described and only with generalizations. We get better descriptions of crablike tree parasites at one point.

I like Wil Wheaton, however his narration was not very good. Basically no characterization and his tone is all over the place. It certainly didn't help any of the lame jokes land. It was like he just picked it up and read the words on the pages aloud only really changing the volume of his voice. Him reading a different book without character work might be worth listening to but this ain't it.

Incredible

Revisado: 09-28-22

I loved this book. I have read a few dozen King books and often times the experience is a bit tarnished by the ending. Not this time. Incredible story, incredible characters and Radar might just be one of the best damn dogs ever.
