The Amoral Hero

By: Logan Jacobs

Narrated by: Alex Perone, Marissa Parness

The Great West stretched on endlessly, and it was filled with pioneer mining towns, magic, and opportunity.

But it was also filled with brigands, monsters, and the unknown.

Fortunately, I was around to protect people. For a price, that is.

And I only have three simple rules. My code, if you will:

I’ll kill anything or anyone for a price.

I get paid up front.

I leave town right after I’ve performed my task…and enjoyed whatever townswomen offer themselves to me as a bonus.

They call me a hero, but I’m just out here looking to get rich.

boring. MC has no personality

Pretty great until it wasn't.

I actually kinda loved this story. Until I hated it.

The final act of the book was just the absolute worst kind of storytelling imaginable to me.

I could just about stomach the tedious history between the MC and Vera (not really, she's terrible and there wasn't a good enough reason shown for him to still be in love with her and not off her, but I digress), but when our irreverent 'amoral' hero gets into a philosophical debate with the cheesy, monologuing villain instead of just ignoring him, I checked out.

It somehow gets worse from there. There's lots of monologuing at each other at the end. MC with Vera, MC with Evil Wizard, Vera with Evil Wizard...

The pace of the story had come to such a screeching halt that I just skipped the final confrontation at the end just so I could be done with the book.

Man, it could have been so much better if the two just tried monologuing at the MC and he just stonewalls them. More Clint Eastwood instead of cheesy anime protagonist.

I'll not be continuing with this series.

Good book

Book was interesting. Not what I was expecting, but kept me busy and in the story.

MC is supposed to be a prince...

I really couldn't get behind the the narration and the way the author is trying to push the MC's use of super stupid out West "talkin". He even uses it in his own inner monologue and he was born and raised as a prince till he left at 18...

It's worth reading twice

My initial reaction to sell so it wasn't the best one however after my I listen to it again straight through can I can say I love the book the storyline is a little different from the other Logan Jacobs but however I think my lack of Interest came from the narration more for me than the actual book.
