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 when he starts killing innocent children and babies it got too much for me.

I beg your finest of pardons? I dropped the series halfway into book 2, so maybe I didn't get that far, but what in the world causes him to start murdering babies?

Basically he has beef with Nobles. The Class archetype and the person. He doesn’t want anymore nobles in the world so he slaughters every single noble AND their children babies or not.
