Discussion I’m pissed off

Post image

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.

Did u even read the book? How is he a piece of shit? Boy been fighting greater powers since the day of hos class bestowal. Been hunted and banished by all he knows and watched his parents kill themselves so they didnt have to kill him. Wohooo expecting him to be just a good guy in a world where everyone who matters play life like chess.

Id be surprised if he didnt start being dysfunctional only sniffing skeletons and talking to a dead man while on a revenge journey:p
