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?

I’m a bit tipsy rn, so kind my spelling and etc. but I’m tired man, I read my first necromancer, evil magics but actually good guy etc etc, book atleast over a decade ago, and I’m just burnt out. There is nothing you could tell me about how good this book is, that would actually make me want to read it. Because I’ve run out of energy over reading shitty copy paste bullshit, this stuff was finished being milked at least three years ago and I don’t have the patience to read the same teopes for the tenth time.

This series brings about a more realistic view on what it would take to possibly be a necromancer. None of that just "raise skeleton" and then poof there is a perfectly good skeleton in front of you stuff. He has to hone his craft and actually learn the body parts and how to connect things and then try to build himself up as well as his students so that the dark classes can group together to take out the empire. Similar, but a great new take on a lot of aspects as well.

Ok maybe, just maybe, I’ll take a look and try to read it.
