When I read the first book, they caught my interest, but after reading the rest, I started seeing a pattern how he writes things always a character in the next chapter you meet a new person that gets killed by the monster, or kills by the event of the monster, and he repeats this action, while I like that the women are actually the strongest in his group. He still has a habit of making the women kind of an idiot. It’s just he has a pattern that he keeps sticking with to the point you kind of predict the future of the story relatively quickly.
