I had high hopes for “The Traveler Series” by Tom Abrahams, especially given the premise and the promising start. Unfortunately, the series failed to deliver on many fronts.
Firstly, the plot became incredibly repetitive after the first book. It felt like the same scenarios were being recycled over and over, with little to no new developments or twists. By the time I reached the third book, I could predict every move the characters were going to make.
Speaking of characters, they lacked depth and growth. The protagonist, while initially intriguing, remained static throughout the series. The supporting characters were one-dimensional, often existing just to serve the plot without any real personality or backstory.
The narration was another letdown. While the narrator’s voice was clear, the performance was monotonous and lacked the emotion needed to bring the story to life. It felt like the narrator was just reading the text rather than acting it out, which made it hard to stay engaged.
Moreover, the pacing was off. Some parts dragged on with excessive details about mundane activities, while more exciting and critical scenes were rushed through. It was frustrating to sit through endless descriptions of survival techniques when the action scenes were so brief and underwhelming.
Overall, “The Traveler Series” had potential but ultimately fell flat. I wouldn’t recommend this series to anyone looking for a captivating post-apocalyptic adventure. There are much better options out there that offer deeper characters, more dynamic plots, and engaging narration.
