À propos de cet audio

The first three novels and the prequel novella in the million-selling Nate Temple Series: Obsidian Son, Blood Debts, Grimm, and Fairy Tale.

My name is Nate Temple, and I’m secretly a wizard.

I ride a foul-mouthed unicorn, I drink with Achilles, and I’m pals with the Four Horsemen. I’ve even cow-tipped the Minotaur. I understand the theory of following the rules...I’m just not very good at the application.

Because rules were meant to be broken, and St. Louis has a bit of a supernatural infestation these days. Someone should probably be keeping an eye on these things -and probably an eye on me, too. Before I blow up another building...or three.

If you like the Dresden Files, well, this is basically the same tropes slightly reworked with far less skill and a way less likeable Mary Sue of a main character. Most other characters seem to only exist to fawn over the main character ( including every single attractive female), or to oppose him briefly before he humiliates them, and even then they’re direct ripoffs of character tropes seen elsewhere.

I’m not sure if the author is aware of the Bechdel test and just deliberately trying to fail it as hard as possible, or just really is that much of a misogynist. If the male daze of the Dresden Files ever bothered you even slightly, prepare yourself for a doubling or even tripling down by this series- without any actual accompanying character growth or punishment to offset or justify it.

Setting all that aside, the story itself is interesting, and the narrator is solid, although I increasingly find it difficult to separate my disdain for the main character from the performance of the actor voicing him.

If you like the Dresden Files…

Sure there are moments but overall this series was funny (I laughed out loud), fast paced and interesting. There are parts that have a mystery to them. I can tell how much I like a book of this length by how quickly I want to return to listening. I only knock the performance because of the 1st versus 3rd book character voices (he misses a bit on the accents).

Yup .. I am going for the next books in the series.

It is .. it's funny and fast paced

Wow. I barely got through 2 hours of listening. I was enjoying the narration and the world-building and ignoring some of the details that annoyed me because I wanted to give this book a chance. I ignored the arrogant main character and some minor inconsistencies. But I could not ignore the descriptions of females. Every, Single. Female is sexualized. Their characters are coming down to the size of their breasts, weight and desire to please. Seriously? I can't. It's bad. I really wish I could return this book.

Bad

I love this narrator, but this was just not for me. Just couldn't get into the story. Can't either recommend or dis-recommend.

Just not for me
