Liked It “Could have been excellent despite a Mary Sue main character. The plot from the first is developed nicely an expanded with great suspense, unfortunately the third book is a let down.” see full review » see other reviews » |
Didn’t Like It “I gave up on this series. I started with Reality Dysfunction 1 and 2 thinking they were a complete set. I got hooked, and got the Neutronium Alchemist series thinking they would end the series. They don't, there are two more books to go. I just got tired of it. I didn't care anymore and gave...” see full review » see other reviews » |

Lots of action, lots of military hardware, lots of tension, and a very interesting take on 'the beyond'... I can't wait to read the third and final installment of the series...”

“I'm really torn with this series. On one hand, the plot is, for the most part, interesting and imaginative, the action set-pieces are absolutely amazing, it's readable and it's fun. On the other hand, the characters are so shallow I had trouble telling them apart (he has three types of character: stereotype, archetype and cliché), it's imperialistic, sexist, and verging on racist, but worst of all, it seems to be propaganda for Christianity. Get this: the main character is named Joshua Calvert, and literally every character falls in love with him the moment they hear of him. Oy. Not to mention the fact that every disbelieving character seems to grudgingly accept that they're probably wrong, and that the Christians probably were right all along.

I still have the final book to go, and I am actually looking forward to it (it really is fun to read despite the negatives), but I have this terrible sinking feeling that the Christian Kulu Kingdom will triumph, and Joshua will turn out to be the second coming of Christ.
Bloody hope not.”“I gave up on this series. I started with Reality Dysfunction 1 and 2 thinking they were a complete set.

It was too much work to get to the end.”
