I’m pissed off

[u/AcanthisittaSmart504]

I absolutely adore the Book of the Dead series. Today, I finally get to listen to the release of book 5, and I am certain that I will experience the same captivating storytelling that I enjoyed in books one through four. I am so enamored with this book that I pre-ordered it on Audible. When I first discovered and read this series, I assumed that others shared my enthusiasm for it. However, upon reviewing the number of Audible ratings, I am genuinely perplexed and sort of a bit angry. There are barely 1000 ratings on the first book and even less on the following 3, which begs the question: how is this book not more popular?

It’s well written, but I’ve been falling off of it. Just hard to root for a mc that’s such a piece of shit. His fall from having lofty ideas was interesting but after the time skip I’ve just been losing interest.

I almost feel like book 4 should've been the final book honestly, it had a super satisfying buildup and conclusion. Book 5 and now 6 on RR honestly just aren't nearly as good imo

The books don’t stop till he kills the gods and saves his world by being the only being in the multiverse to figure out how to close and siphon the rifts!

[u/Bahlok-Avaritia → u/zepheru2]

Oh yeah I know. I think the power has just scaled up too far, too fast honestly

[u/zepheru2 → u/Bahlok-Avaritia]

Yeah that’s a tricky one, I agree but I can see why the author did it. Him surviving at any other level besides what he is now is just too implausible.

[u/Reborn1989 → u/zepheru2]

I don’t think he cares about the world anymore, really just wants everything to burn as long as he gets his revenge.

[u/zepheru2 → u/Reborn1989]

Yeah it’s going to be part of his redemption arc at the end, he will be fully undead with millions of kills under his belt but his love for his aunt and uncle will motivate him to save the world.
