I have to blame the writer for terrible decisions made by the protagonists. Why when MC’s are put on new planets do they insist on cultures and traditions from their homeland? Does the writer try to enforce American morals when he travels thru Europe or China? The MCs are on a D&Dish world and cannot pull their heads from their collective butts. Its 60% game world 40% primitive world that wants to kill you. Henry is the worst vet i have ever read, and what is worse is Corvins bio says he was former Army. They told Henry his Machete was extremely valuable yet slept with it far away enough to be walked up to and taken. Henry mouths off to the “god” Dolos. Henry even if Dolos cant kill you because he needs you he doesn’t need your wife, mother, or friends. He can punish you for being stupid. Its just dumb. Jeff Hays does a great job.
