Very violent callous scenes unlike his others
I had to stop at the 4 hour mark. Gruesome violence and torture descriptions with no empathy or really plot justification for the amount of gore and sadism described. I have listened to all of the previous books...this one is nothing like those. Characters are one dimensional and stereotypes...but lots of detail on lengthy torture scenes and shattered dead bodies. A real disappointment. Skip this one. Thaddeus and friends act like robots with no emotions and make ridiculous far fetched plot decisions. You will like the whole series less after listening to this. It's that disturbing. That ugly. And that poorly plotted
