So, I loved Harmon Cooper’s Pilgrim books. But this one seemed like there was less effort being put into the story. The premise is easy enough and actually enjoyable but the execution of it all was lacking. The personal interactions between characters was also not believable in the slightest and most of it was either vulgar, juvenile, or sexually derived. Having something here and there is okay but when it’s all the time, I wonder who this was written for.
Most of my gripe lies with the narrators. I’ve listened to Justin Thomas James before and he wasn’t this bad. The “accent” (if one can call it that) is spontaneously used and sounds like he’s making fun of the writing. I felt Sam’s first love interest was played way too aggressive sounding even during normal conversation.
It’s just really hard to listen to and care about the story overall.
