Somewhere it was written….

In an apocalypse women must be molested, animal companions must die on the alter of pointless tragedy and the gallant must be mocked to(at least) the point you begin to dislike the other “good” characters.. There are some tropes that have lost all value to their genres except to feed a sense of devotion to the equation or satisfy those who never felt the intended shock but enjoyed the instance for its own harsh aesthetic(sociopathic tendency). I do wish some spoilers which, in truth, spoil little given the obvious and derivative nature would be included in more reviews or descriptions. Perhaps a generic warning.

This Author is imaginative and writes well. He offers creative stories, no more derivative than the vast majority of modern works. This is a well written, well conceived and entertaining series with a fairly novel approach to the monster creation. It’s few categorical plot holes only require some suspension of belief. The books subjective flaws lie in the deviation from the Authors afore mentioned creativity to include genre tropes that have long become awkward and exhausting.
