King Bullet
Ratings18
Average rating3.6
The incredible finale of the page-turning, high-octane Sandman Slim series filled with an explosive ending and intense kick-ass action from New York Times bestselling author Richard Kadrey. It’s been three months since Stark stopped a death cult and a potential ghost apocalypse, and he’s at loose ends. His personal life is a mess. His professional life isn’t much better. And the world…well, the world is going to shit. L.A. is gripped by a viral epidemic that has everyone wearing masks and keeping their distance from each other. But what’s even more frightening is the Shoggot gang and their leader, King Bullet, who revels in the city’s collapse. Who is King Bullet? No one knows. He seemingly came from nowhere with nothing but a taste for mayhem and an army of crazed killers who follow his every command. What king wants seems simple on it face: Chaos. Destruction. A city in flames. But there’s more to the king and his plans for L.A. and what Stark discovers will change Heaven, Earth, and Stark himself forever.

All I can say is thank God this series is over. I used to look forward to each new release.
For the final book of a 12 book series, this was just terrible. I thought nothing could be worse than the pronoun bullsht in the last book, but I was wrong; not only did he double down on that, but he added mask bullsht as well. That's just what I wanted to read, a bunch of supernatural-ish beings Karen'ing each other to put their stupid masks on.
Janet is one of the worst characters ever as well. It was bad enough introducing her last book, but in this one she completely ruins everything that ever made me care even a little bit about Stark. Oh sorry, THEY not she!
Interestingly enough, the only character I even remotely cared about was F*ck Hollywood, except she turned out to be entirely worthless. She could have been erased from the book completely and it wouldn't have mattered one bit. So great job on that.
Ignoring all the things I hated about it, the story itself was less exciting than most of the previous novels, so for this to be the culmination of the entire series, I feel incredibly let down.
Like I said, at this point I'm just glad it is over and I can never read another Kadrey book ever again.
