The Empire Wars
I didn’t really get into this one. Never fully understood the world and why they had a Battle Royal thing happening. Why are the N*zis called the Allied Forces? They are not allied to people and where are they from? The Arctic? Who moved to the Arctic, can’t be many living there in that harsh climate so… Maybe the author didn’t want to give a nationality to bad guys and offend anyone?
A map could have been useful here, I didn’t know where I was or how the world looked.
It is mentioned that the baddies liked Scandinavian stuff so maybe they started using Norwegian/Danish Ö for aesthetic reasons but I read it as Stööörmbane each time, there was kömmand in there as well. Can’t help but laugh. I think spending some more time with the languages would have been good or skipped it all together. As everything is set in our world there should be some similarities with a real language but doubt that was the case.
Now to the characters, I didn’t get to know any of them, not really. We have Coa that’s off to the Great Hunt, and a guy that winks a lot and despite being forced to strip and at gun point Coa has the time to appreciate how hot he is and admire his penis. What does she do… um, she’s sent to the game and… yeah.
Then we have… Efi? Who’s an exotic princess who pretends to be older and stupid and marries a n*zi to spy and get revenge.
Doesn’t feel like much happened at all… Early draft vibes after watch Hunger Games a few times and being scared with our worlds current political climate but doesn’t do it for me. Needed more work.
PS. Very cliffhangy ending and I hate that with a passion.
