This book just doesn’t know when to stop. At the time of writing this, I have 1 hour and 14 minutes left. I lost interest about half an hour ago, it felt like things should have been wrapped up but it just keeps going on and on and on.
While the story is compelling and interesting, many of its plot points are predictable as all hell. This is due in part to the author outright stating the intentions of characters, other times spoiling future events by outright saying things about what’s going to happen. Finally, there’s the writing that’s predictable in the usual way.
I’ve been listening at 2.05x speed and I feel as if I’ve spent the last week of my life listening to this audiobook. It’s unbelievably slow. I really want to talk about what this book does right and that’s…… uhhhhh…. well, it’s a book.
To be honest, had I not grown a fondness for the protagonist in the first 2 books in this series, I’d DNF this and recommend against it. But I really like the protagonist. He has a good head on his shoulders and I find it kinda amusing that he somehow always finds himself in these dangerous situations and always comes out on top.
I like the narrator quite a lot. The only issue I take with his narration is how he speaks for the character in an accent, but his internal monologue is without the accent. When the character actually has lines, it’s off-putting because he suddenly sounds completely different than you’ve been hearing of him up to that point.
