Too many unusual names, creatures. I felt as though I was beginning the series from book 5. The story takes place in Japan and the humans are supposed to be Japanese, but they have blonde hair and blue eyes?!? This requires further explanation. Even Book 1 did a poor job of world building and character development. Travis Baldree is my favorite narrator, but not even he couldn’t save this book. The book was free, but I still feel like I’ve been ripped off.
