Wild Wastes 6

By: Randi Darren

Narrated by: Stephanie Savannah

Before world war two could reach its conclusion, the world suffered what could only be defined as a cataclysm.

Legend has it that an experiment failed. Catastrophically so. And when it failed, the center of the United States, from the Sierra Nevada to the Mississippi river became "The Waste", where everything changed.

Except it didn't only happen in North America. In fact, it happened all around the world.

Few places were spared, though only a handful experienced it as deeply as the United States didIn The Wastes of the world, every fantasy creature, fairy tale demon, or mythological monster exists. From Orcs to Neriads, Ogres, Trolls, Wraiths, Elves, Harpies, and even Beastmen. They all exist, and all despise humankind.

For North America, in the shattered bones of the country, the west and east coasts new governments have rose, then fell.

Vince has become the master of a major portion of the Wastes of North America. Responsible for everything and everyone inside his boundaries. There is little that doesn’t fall under his purview. Except everything is changing even as fast as he tries to catch up.

The end war with deities near and far has become the focus of his life.

Everything will change or end here and now.

For him, Yosemite, Legion, and all of his world.

awesome

Love this series. I've listened to to 1 - 4 so many times, then finally saw that 5 and 6 was out.

Wish there was a different narrator…

I love the stories, but I’m not a fan of Stephanie narrating. Some of her voices are ok, but her natural voice is a little screechy. Other than that, this book felt a little more rushed than the others, but still an ok addition.

The narrator ruined it...

the story is typical of the world, but Stephanie destroyed the enjoyment of the book. why is Melody Russian, Miles British, Vince and Felix American? Why are voices inconsistent? Lines delivered like she didn't read the book ahead of time and acknowledge the character traits? Felix isn't a nervous mess on the outside, Vince is supposed to be calm and collected until battle. My last review of book 5 said similar but nothing improved.

The story is alright. It's the normal for Vince's story to be all over the place, but the direction was lack luster. Wandering the world and wandering the story are 2 different things. I think I'll return this one. Sad thing, because after how SSOSH ended I was looking forward to how this one ended as well. Instead I was disappointed.

This book has no clear direction.

I love Williams writing I have pretty much all of his books but this one I think I will be returning to Audible.
This book is all over the place and it is hard to keep up on.

The end?

Used to be my favorite author got me into the genre had such high hoped to end on a high note like the super hero series but the last hour felt like he just checked a box and wrapped it up. Made me pretty sad all things considered how the mighty have fallen
