its an okay addition to the series

Harvey is Harvey so no real change there. I already have a few issues with the start of this book first and foremost the author intentionally skipping over the Skrew level up at the start. he gets "imprisoned" 2 times and attempts at exploitation another 4. I just want to see and old man build shit and have fun making the world a better place. this 2 dimensional mustache twirling is a just making me frustrated.

I love Harvey more and more with each book

This book is a really interesting and fun addition to the series! (I'll try not to ruin the book, but slight spoilers follow). We get to see that, while Harvey's hope for humanity and the future is great, there are RAMIFICATIONS to dismantling a capitalist hellscape all willy nilly! Like, maybe the populace will FREAK OUT when they realize that the billionaires could've helped all along. And maybe the billionaires will take offense to an old man inspiring a revolt and undermining their profits! Maybe even evil squid people in robot suits will kidnap you - who knew?!

And, if Harvey could somehow escape the evil squid people, maybe he would fall into a classic dungeon crawl where he spends months upon months base building over and over again to fight off waves of beasties sent by a dungeon master with a grudge... WITH ALL OF HIS FRIENDS WHO HE SPRUNG FROM JAIL OF COURSE!! Like those ponies on TV say, friendship is magic.

If this review seems random, I'm desperately trying to tell you the main themes without completely spoiling the book. Seriously, I had so much fun reading this, and dang it, those narrators are super nifty too.

BTW, this is the 3rd book in a series, so I think that's where the confusion in another review came from about the characters - we are reuniting with and building on relationships from books 1 and 2. I don't actually think any new characters are introduced this book. But if you hadn't read any of this before, yeah, you won't have the best time, lol.

Great addition.

I love the expansion of Harvey’s character in this book, and the last third had me scrambling for more time to read, to figure out what was happening next! Keep up the great work!

the realtionships problems

the author has caused some problems to occur by seeming to forget what happened in book one. the best example of this is when Harvey, Tabitha and reacher save Lucas and his fellow heroes friends. you'd think there be a bit of tension coming from the heroes as in the first book they had been discussing killing Harvey for the greater good.

he repair them by saving their lives and do their left in an interesting situation. As they now have a debt to Harvey but at the same time their obligation to fix the world their heroic parents broke means they might have to kill Harvey anyway. A lot of tension and realtionship building you would think. But no the author instead brings up that it's Tabitha's birthday they have her a cake and Harvey stares down the mage because Tabitha has a crush on him.

so yea this is a bit of problem the book avoids the hard work route of relationship building and instead goes for the quick and dirty approach to try and get you in the feels. which works to a degree until you remember how you got there and it doesn't hit that hard any more. so the books needed to be a bit longer so to work on realtionship building rather then just sprinting to the finish line.

So much wrong

only about 7 chapters in and I'm about to walk way. such lazy story telling. one dimension characters. sophomoric character interaction. the performance was ok but in no way saves the book. if am able to finish I will update it.
