August Wrap Up!!! I Read More Books Than I Thought

my main issue here is the start of this is very kind of rough and then it kind of stumbles throughout the rest of the story trying to recover now it does improve but the start of this one the first like 30 to 40 pages is a bit on the rougher side that said i really enjoyed the ideas the kind of quest elements the found family

and the way it ends is just so poignant so beautiful this is just it feels like ta bruno was writing a love letter to the story he always wanted to tell here in this entry i absolutely loved this book

when i tried to listen to simon vance doing clive barker with like a magika and stuff like that i struggled to make that shift because i kept being reminded of another series that they had narrated that i really love

i really enjoyed insomnia it's a great multiverse book

all the female characters in this book when kate reading is narrating them they're much more petulant than what my head cannon remembers them being

now i loved pretty much everything about this story except for one thing the main character here anev does a thing where he's very juvenile

this was something special man every time i read a david gamma book i am just so happy

what really hurts about this is the first 30 of this book is phenomenal it is fantastic it is compelling it is atmospheric and then when you hit that like 30 to 40 mark it just switches and it becomes very inconsistent

here the lore building in this book fantastic it is like a symphony it is a beautifully woven tapestry the way he has taken lore and legends and everything like that and just woven it into an almost believable cohesive narrative and world building and things of that nature the gods and everything in here i loved it where you lost me is the humor

i didn't like rhythm of war which is mostly female narrated and i think that is because i am not a big fan of kate redding's narration

this was a very good one great world building great magic my only issue here with this book was the fact that the characters kind of shrug off damage

i am about 40 through this on audio because it's the only way you can really read dungeon crawler carl i mean i guess you could do it physically but then you're missing jeff hayes amazing sound booth productions narration and at that point you should just feel sad no surprises here it is absolutely phenomenal

now in this final book i was very middling on this because i think it got a little too meta for me

i just don't vibe with jalen like i just can't get into his story

this is my favorite shadow campaigns book so far the dynamic relationships within this story the battles the just overall feel of this world i feel like it finally clicked i gave this one a four and a half out of five

guys this was masterful i cannot quite articulate how much i enjoyed this story all of the elements are handled in such just harmony it is like a symphony on the page

next up is a book that i dnf'd not because it's bad it was just kind of a little too dark for me
