Will Wight tried way too hard to make this a catchy favorite sci-fi series. It would’ve been had he just stuck to the clan stories, great adventures & moving the unsouled on a journey to self actualization. But this other worldly Gods or world overseers (no idea what it is) complicate the story for no good reason. It’s confusing & I can’t fathom why this was added to the story. If the clans have different abilities, wouldn’t the elders or specialty trained be able to sense doom or trouble? So why the “ominous’ people in a mysterious time or place is very unnecessary. The narrator’s performance is subpar & part of the reason the story is less interesting than maybe it should be IDK, the story kinda sucks on its own. The narrator had long periods of just sounding dull & unenthusiastic. I picture actor/narrator Steven Weber being a great person to narrate. Anyway, I downloaded most of the series because the books were free. I think I chose wrong.
