In a modern world where Satan advertises on billboards and magic is part of everyday life, a complete loser becomes the next Death. It’s a wild concept and makes for a good book. Truthfully, as I’m writing this review eight and a half years later, I don’t remember anything else about the book—I may give it a quick re-read. It’s part of a series, but I didn’t continue on after book one.
Yep. Same plot structure. Again. Still grinding rep in WoW, might as well power through the series, too.
At this point, it’s pretty obvious the books follow the same plot structure. But at the time I was reading these, I was grinding rep in WoW—and if you have no idea what that means then just know that whatever you were doing at the time I was grinding rep, even if it was sitting on the couch picking your nose, you were having a more productive life than me. And so I listened to book four.
At this point in the series, I was still enjoying the books but noticed the similarity in the plot between books two and three. It was an enjoyable read, if similar to the previous one.
The story of Tavi moves from the countryside to the city, and new nemeses are introduced. It’s a solid follow-on from the first. The main character is a likable kid who seems to have both extraordinary struggles and the most unique luck, which of course makes for a good story. Be forewarned, from here on out, I enjoyed the series less and less.
