At about 3/4 into the book and I am still waiting for a hook. The main character is so overplayed at being pathetic I the reader am starting to agree and lose interest. The skill system is completely lifeless and uninteresting, and the humor is too predictable to be laugh out loud.
Jeff Hays’ performance is spectacular, but the other voice actors sound like a community theater group in his shadow. The story tends to lose some immersion when a different voice comes on. So far, the side character Cur is the only bright spot of this tale. I’ll probably finish off the book in hopes his story finishes out more, but I’m not holding out much hope.
