Not my cup of tea. Too dark, too bloody, too hopeless. At some points I wanted to scream at the obvious mistakes. But overall I just couldn't connect with any of the characters and was so disappointed at how Taya was just plainly used throughout the book. It was a long, painful journey from bad to worse. And not at a single point has she stopped to actually think. The whole book she runs from one fight to another, each one more bloody than the previous one, twice she's patched up after almost dying and in a few hors she's on the run again. Even with all the super cool tech, meat needs time to heal. Well, at least while one's alive.
What bugs me the most, it feels like she's never in control, there's always someone playing her. And even knowing that, she comes back for more.
And there are scanners on every corner and she's tracked almost all the time. But 5 minutes later she's brought from level 99 to 2 with none the wiser. Wait, she was brought like that twice. Both times she was barely breathing piece of meat. And no pings? No tracers? Hmmm...
And Jordan? She doesn't even feel like a good guy forced to do bad things for the greater good. She's just plain bad. Manipulative b**ch. It's been a while since I've been disgusted by a character so much.
Overall, very bad aftertaste after the book, I need something meaningful to cleanse my palette asap.
Oh, yes, and if you can't explain something, call it magic. Nothing of the origins of the powers and the conflict is explained, just some hints and breadcrumbs. Big words without any actual substance.
I love Daniel's youtube and was pleasantly surprised that I loved this book. Knowing him as a youtuber, I wasn't sure if this was going to be something I would have read if I didn't know him and I definitely would recommend to my friends. There were a few parts where I had a hard time following what was going on but that could have been me. Keep up the good job and happy to have you back to fantasy news!
