This series has a lot of potential to be great. It drives me crazy, however, that the author misuses words and repeats phrases continuously. He doesn’t seem to have the vocabulary to make each encounter unique. They all sound the same. “In waves” is used heavily throughout the series, as well as the word “obsidian.” It’s okay to use the word black. There are other descriptors. I also don’t know if the author knows what a sociopath is. I listen to every series I invest in from the beginning when new books come out, and though I’ve made it to book four in my second read through, I’m wondering if I’ll make it all the way this time. Thought it was time to share. Also not a fan of the narrator, but that’s only a problem if they don’t know how to pronounce words or make timing or spacing errors in reading. He’s relatively good at that, his voice just doesn’t fit in my opinion.
