  • Condemned Book 8

    This is mostly a builder for the end of the series. We finally discuss all of the players, but I love that nothing is black and white. The corruption is deep and widespread. I love that Max as the Hunter of Darkness is finding the dark everywhere. Overall, a fun series that is dark at…

  • Condemned Book 7

    We now get a whole picture of all of the players and one gets removed from the board. That said Max continues to be put into worse and worse situations. I did like when things got really coincidental that at least it was acknowledged. Loving the direction even though the end of this one gets…

  • Condemned Book 6

    Wow, just when you think things can’t get worse, well here we are. It definitely leaves you trying to figure out who the bad guys really are. And now we are adding yet another group. Can I just say that I loved the ending of this and still trying to figure out how there are…

  • Condemned Book 5

    You could say that the addition of grey to the black and white was a foreshadowing of how the series goes as more and more of each side show that they are not fully one thing or the other and it resembles more of a political system than the good vs evil it started out…

  • Body Refinement in a Beast Tamers World 3

    A great time visiting the Flamebrand tower. I really enjoyed this one, especially the cameo by Alph. The progression and reveal on this was fantastic. I loved the setup for the trial and the day night cycle. Overall, it was a fun read and excited for book 4.

  • Condemned Book 4

    Max is finding that things aren’t 100% what he thinks they are. Plenty of background deals happening. On top of it all we see the development of his arch nemesis. A third party enters the mix and things aren’t so black and white. Interesting to add a new system into the mix. I had not…

  • Condemned Book 3

    A nice steady growth of power over this book. An added player. More on what is really going on. Overall, a strong addition to the series. I like that we are seeing more of the corruption that is all around Max. Old friends show back up and deadly beasts try to devour everyone and everything.…

  • Condemned Book 2

    Our favorite doomed continues to be buffeted around by forces outside of his control. I love the corruption and bathroom deals that go on. Great progression through the story. Overall a fantastic work that I am excited to continue as Max finds more ways to suffer as he grows. Amazing how things are impossible until…

  • Condemned

    Book 1 of the Lord Valevsky: Last of the Line series. To be honest, I would expect nothing less than an engaging story that I keep trying to find one more minute for another page. The hero’s journey style gotta love those orphans. I like the lore behind this one. This is cultivation in a…

  • Defender

    Book 1 of the Sanctuary series. Starting off, this was a well written novel and in the title it states that it is epic fantasy. So any criticism I would have would be because I really do not enjoy epic fantasy. That said, if you like authors like David Eddings you will enjoy this series.…
