Carl does an amazing job filling out the characters in this one, he shows us the characters and builds them into people with wants, desires, and motivation. We get to see Gus’s struggles with his own inner self doubt that keeps hitting close to home over and over again(at least for me, it’s like the..

Honestly was skeptic whether the second book would be better. With steady character progression and growing tensions i think the third will either bring the story to full stride or buckle under hype. only time will tell and I had to give it a second listen to fully enjoy and have the book sink in…

At the end of the previous book, our protagonist, Gus, had achieved some personal insight, growth, and self-confidence, after having spent most of the book wallowing in self-pity and self-criticism.

Will has a fantastic grasp of how to write action-oriented fantasy. His writing is tight and his characters, both heroes and villains are relatable. This young author has realized that what makes a good story great is a good villain. What makes a good villain great is making them relatable. Jai Long is a great..
The story started off well then somewhere along the way the author decided it was time to make the MC an insufferable idiot who couldn’t make a good decision to save his life. Fortunately for the MC, he doesn’t die because the bad guys are even dumber than he is. This story has so much..

Amazing book. Not what I was expecting from him, but addictively entertaining. Keeping up with the cats was a nice mental gymnastics exercise.
