The first book of the series was pretty intriguing, had good character development, and the reader came to care for the leads.
In this book you really don’t learn a single new thing about the main characters, their struggles are brief and easily overcome. Need weapons? There’s a bunch buried over here. Need food? Let’s snare a bunch, then have more delivered. Want a beer? Welcome to the Armageddon Brewery. Need some weed? Here’s 50 pounds. All with virtually no effort.
Someone is lazy, and I think it’s the author.
The villain seems one dimensional, pathetic, and silly. The heroes deserve a worthier opponent between bouts of drinking and drugging in the hot spring.
