Better than a second Christmas

I love this series. The third book ended on a brilliant (and tragic) cliffhanger - one I couldn’t begin to resolve on my own - so I’m up and listening to book 4 as soon as it came available (at 2am local time, lol). I’m already eagerly awaiting the 5th installment.

Barely Believable

He has been hinting at this idea that Jason’s moral subjectivism is objective truth in one way or another. for what reason is the reader supposed to agree or disagree with his decisions? Book 1 Shirtaloon describes Asanos reasoning as sometimes you just know something is wrong. It is an appeal to a cultural moralism in this case the culture would be his sister.
After learning there are beings with vast knowledge and power,gods/astral beings,he champions his own belief system over one that he shouldn’t be able to comprehend. (god’s are very 2 dimensional characters).
There is too much ambiguity in moral choices
Hanging out in ambiguity shows lack of movement in character development and laziness in the author to not be able to describe right and wrong in his world. What makes Thadwicks actions wrong and Jason’s right? We have Jason making what he thinks his reasons are but over and over again we see him failing morally in his own eyes the reader has no reason to trust this inner dialogue.
Jason is also spotless in the realm of social justice. He never steps out of line with modern social justice reform a perfect saint by today’s standards. Which also makes him two dimensional. Power system is stale and I waited for a long time to get past the moral wrestling and to the actual story. I’ve been with you this far mate but this is where I hop off cool intro though.

lovel this series

awesome books, I really like the books story so far it has good pacing, excellent performance, funny, cheeky. They got me hooked cant wait for book 5 to be dropped

Awesome read

I need MORE

I am not even done with the book and already fear the end of it and the longing for more. I want it all. if that is 100 audiobooks, sure I will get a second mortgage and a third if the quality is like this.

Seriously, I am going to be cramming other series as fast as I can to try to distract myself. Fantastic job on the writing and superb audio performance
