We Hunt Monsters 9

9 books in and I’m still enjoying this series. Numbers go up and monsters go down. It’s all in the title - dude just wants to hunt monsters. Not his fault people won’t just let him focus on it.

-1 star because I wish the main character would get smacked down and humbled for once. He's a massive asshole, and I hate him. I'm no psychologist (nor do I wish to be one), but I'm pretty sure Keith is some manner of -path, probably a sociopath. He uses everyone like they are disposable tools, treats them like shit, and literally doesn't care about anything but his own goals.

I said it in my review of the last book, I get that he has reasons for being that way, but it isn't fun to read. At all. The author is clearly aware that Keith is a major asshole too, as characters in world periodically tell him so, but Keith doesn't care. And I hate him for it.

Against my better judgment I will probably continue reading, but I am starting to root for the ending of the series to be that The Trickster screws him and his family hates him because they know about all of the horrible things he's done and the shitty way he's treated people.

To all authors out there: stop making your characters unlikable assholes that we can't root for. Jesus, even Dexter was easier to feel some sympathy for than protagonists like Keith, and Dexter murdered people for fun!
