Never Die

After how much I loved [b:The Sword of Kaigen 41886271 The Sword of Kaigen M.L. Wang https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1546137241l/41886271.SX50.jpg 65383313], I was so excited to read another SPFBO winner. However, this was a miss for me. It was too plot-driven for my tastes with little character development. It was battle after battle and after the first couple of battles, I was tired of the whole schtick. I don't see myself reaching for another Hayes book anytime in the future.
