Been reading this series since there was only one book. It’s good. Worth it. Jeff (Narrator) is amazing. Now, to the stuff I have issues with. I think Blaise needs to write down certain stuff. Example. L.E.D.F. Left Eye Data Feed. One scene Jason is telling Henry how dumb it is then the next Jason is talking to himself about how Henry should “get with the program” with it. There are a LOT of little things like this. Granted this is the problem when you read anything that doesn’t have real editors and stuff. Another thing is the blatant disregard for factual, biological science. I get that in this world Females outnumber Males. That doesn’t change the fact that Males are more powerful than Females. Physically. There are certain cultural situations that he’s made that make no sense. This is more my problem than his I suppose. Facts are facts are facts. I have a difficult problem when stuff goes against the physical REALITY of things. Even in a place like that it doesn’t change anything. I just have to ignore it.
Now for the more up to date stuff. I like the Nora series, but I’m afraid to read book 4 and 5 because I’ve read a lot of reviews I trust. I knew he was gonna put Nora into the Delvers. Which is good. Thing is she needs to be subordinate to Jason and Henry big time. THEY are the Delvers. They are the reason people read this series. Slowly crank up Nora’s power and all that. That’s fine… But she can’t be any real match for Jason and Henry. I’m not saying that she is. I’m saying that there’s obviously been too much emphasis on her all together. Dont “Main” her as much as the other Delvers. If you want her to be “MC” then make Delvers Side Quests or something and MC her.
I’m gonna continue on to 4 and 5 after this reread through this time. And I think I’ll like them. Probably much more than all the bummed out folks because I do actually like Nora. I just Know that after this book Jason proves that he is just a bit more powerful than Henry. Jeez even Kega (Keja?) said he’d be the only one that could survive during the dungeon part. Goes back to my whole point that Corvin needs to write stuff down. It’s like he’s just writing and not story boarding or making even the most basic of outlines. I’m worried that a bunch of people will quit reading Delvers because he just keeps ADHDing characters. I think I will like 4 and 5 for the most part. I just know that if Henry and Jason get supplanted by Nora then it won’t be worth continuing even though I like Nora. I like her but she is just not as entertaining as the other 2.
