One of the weaker Sound Booth Theater productions. Even Justin couldn’t completely negate the BS story and writing. Still, acceptable, but only because of the style Justin chooses for narration. With a weaker narrator, I would have turned the book off and asked for a refund.
The story is what happens when you go too far into Mary Sue or rather create a story where everything just falls into the main character’s lap with little to no challenge. Somehow the main character was able to gain first kill achievement twice, out of all of the conflict and people fighting in the conflict, even through there was someone prepared to take the achievement.
The book draws heavily on telling, instead of showing. Why is the main character a bad ass? Because the book can’t wait to make the main character OP AF, because that will be fun, right? It often is, but the combination creates low stakes which caused annoyances.
The story isn’t all bad since it’s style also lends towards fast pace. No time for character development when there are achievements to gain and bad guys to destroy easily.
I would compare it to Conan The Barbarian, except I am almost certain that series has character development and tension. This book is more like an action movie. Fun, but lacks substance.
