Save State Hero 3

Save State Hero, Book 3

De: William D. Arand

Narrado por: Stephanie Savannah

Have you ever woken up, rolled over, and thought to yourself, "I'm pretty sure I'm working for a supervillain?"

If you haven't, then maybe you're not the type of person to work for a global corporation.

Edmund, however, is exactly that kind of person. He had worked for Legion and for his mentor and savior, Felix Campbell.

Now, though, Edmund is working for himself—and for the universe as a whole. He's leaving everything he knew, everyone he knows, to set out into the literal unknown. Which essentially means Edmund will be working for himself without any fallback. No safety net, and nothing and no one to swoop in and save him if he fails. A lot like opening your own company or business, really.

All of those fears of failure are mostly irrelevant to Edmund, though. He'll work and do all he can to make sure they succeed regardless. Because he has already achieved the "Good Ending" and the "Bad Ending." Explored the ends of both sides of the story—how things rolled out and where they terminated. All while he mapped out the variables, the changes, the shifts—and where it all ended.

Now, it's time to push forward and reach the "Best Ending."

The perfect route is clear, and everything that entails—righting every wrong and forcibly correcting even the worst mistakes others made. From his little sister to the god Runner himself, and everything in between. Because Edmund is the Save State Hero—and he's the only one who can do this.

Feels like a solid conclusion

This feels like it was the end for the entirety of the series and the universe that had been created. I thoroughly enjoyed this, and I'm glad it had an actual ending unlike many other series' universes.

Meh

I've really enjoyed Aarand and Darren, but the stories seem to be getting stale. I just don't enjoy the new stories like the original series's

uhmmm... yeah.

This book was very hard to follow just like the last one in the series. Book one was actually pretty good but the second one was kind of out there and this one was just over the top . I suppose it was okay though. Even though I love all the characters, save state hero has got to be my least favorite Trilogy in the Runnerverse books. I really enjoy all of the work by this author and have read and or listened to every single one he's written. This Trilogy though is just really out there. It's like a time traveling Paradox ate itself. There are a lot of inconsistencies and a lot of stuff that just made no sense whatsoever. I kind of just looked at it as I'll skip all the wacky not making sense stuff and just take away the parts that help connect the rest of the universe together. If you're a completionist you should definitely get this series, but WOW, it's not easy to follow by any means.
