Not my favorite of the series.

I feel like this and the last book is full of bad choices, choices an adult that has lived through the apocalypse that had earlier said he was willing to do whatever it takes to save the world wouldn’t make. I guess you could make the argument that he’s being affected by spoilers, but the book went out of its way to say that wasn’t the case. There’s less than three days from the beginning of the book to the end. A good half of this book is detailed combat, of that, I didn’t find most of it overly interesting and ended up skipping massive portions of it. I hope the next book has more story and less filler.

Change of pace

A bit of a change in direction with this book. I feel like this plot shift has some endgame implications. The ending was a bit cliffhanger-y but the story is interesting and I’m excited to see what happens next! I really appreciate the dual narrators. I feel like it enhances the experience.

It felt rushed

The pacing of the story felt rushed and the mc lost a few more iq points in this book

painful to listen to

Nick spends the entire book listening to the voice in his head. It was extremely obvious she was manipulating him and Nick just goes with it. This book was a complete disappointment.

An attempt to milk money from the fans

This book is was clearly not designed to advance the plot much. A whole lot of nonsensical combat happened. I kept listening to this filler book thinking, why is all this happening? When are we going to get back to the main plot points of the series? Combat just for combat sake, no real plot to drive the actions. For a guy with all that time and experience due to his regression, he does seem to act and make strange decisions. No sense of repercussions for his stupid decisions, never learns hard lessons, does not lose loved ones due to his bad decisions. No lessons learned. He meets a guy who he is clearly very suspicious of, but he does not really think or do much about it. I couldn't wait for this book to come to an end. I need my money back... this is a very bad sign, if this is going to become the new norm. Stretching the content and plot to milk the engagement & quantity of books to be sold. Too short, I feel robbed.

75% Combat, 20% nothing dialogue, 5% story moves

This was a nothing book, with the exception of the MC being a complete idiot, being so obviously manipulated that it completely breaks immersion for an extremely paranoid MC to not pick up on it. Prior to this book, I loved this series, but this book killed it.
