Atreyan Dawn

Reclaimer, Book 7

De: Waldo Rodriguez

Narrado por: BJ Harrison

An ancient Empire. A mysterious blight. A runaway death cult. What could possibly go wrong?

Everything.

After the battle for Draskell Citadel, Gabriel has not yet fully recovered. Time waits for no one, not even those defying fate. Nepherenti Seeks to bind demons to her will. The devohrahn bide their time in their hives. There are still missing Reclaimers.

A faint Hope glimmers in the darkness: Old Reslia.

Yet where one empire was meant to reside, another stands.

In the hunt for answers the line between friend and foe blurs. Who is the bigger threat to the world? The cult, the empire, or something else entirely.

Beneath the shadow of the colossus, only one thing is certain: Nothing is as it seems.

Action & Adventure

I very much enjoyed the fluidity with which the action and mystery flows, even if the main character doesn't seem to pick up on clues as quickly as the audience. Gabriel really is thick.

awesome

really enjoyed how they expanded the new world of earth. a few chapters towards the end were a little silly. other than that I really enjoyed this book and I can't wait for the next in the series.

amazing

personally this is one of my favorite books from the world building to the character development I really couldn't recommend this book enough the only part I don't like about it is having to wait so long for the next in the series

too much

so I gave it a 4 on performance because the narrator keeps jumping all over the place with the MC's voice.
a 3 on the story because the progression felt too rushed and fantastical even for genre. ex:finding his dad's old plane complete with recordings of his dad only, even when the plane had obviously continued to be in service with multiple other pilots after him. and to compound it, his brothers resting place just so happens to be only a few days away directly in his path to the next objective. I was cool with letting it slide in "iron heart" when he just so happens upon Val and James resting place but come on.
and let's not get started on Nicole's pregnancy when BOTH apparently need to turn on nanites

great installment

I like this series alot always a good listen and a good length for an audio book would recomend to any one who is a sci fi and anime lover

Drrythang!

Waldo we need more of these. Awesome series from the storyline to world building, to charscter development. Excellent writing and please never change the narrator dude is on point.

Shameless Plagarism

While the story is enjoyable, the constant injections of out-of-place pop culture references drag on the overall weight of the narrative; a problem present in the series up to this point. The narrator also has a bad habit of mixing up character voices, making the sections without dialogue tags come across as confused messes (the most notable of which is any dialogue involving Val and Murphy, as the narrator uses a similar "posh" British accent for both).

However, all of the above would be excusable but for the climax. The entire sequence is stolen directly from the Demon Slayer (Kimetsu no Yaiba) manga and subsequent movie Mugen Train (2020). Every single aspect was copied, from the demon's use of eyes to transport the main character to an illusory realm, to the main character repeatedly killing themselves by a sword blow to the neck to escape said illusory realm. Even the slight twist on the illusion just before the final blow is the same. The author should be ashamed, and despite a moderately enjoyable story up to this point, I won't be reading any of their future works.
