(Okay, so I talk to people I meet in the fantasy isles in book sto At first glance (say at the title) anyone would probably take this book to be basically "brain candy". I was looking at the time for something light and had this book recommended to me by a stranger while browsing the shelves in Books-A-Million. While this book is openly a little on the "hokey" 's an excellent read. And they'd be right.but sometimes you find some really good brain candy.

I also checked back in to see if there's been any character development, as we like to say re books. (2) Update 10/19: My link to Correia's site was broken, so I took it down. I also down-rated all his other books I read. If you are an anonymous poster who joined goodreads this month (whatever month that may be), have no personal details, or no reviews on this site, you can take your opinions and put them in an appropriate place-your own review. Summary of Correia's early efforts to get himself nominated for a Hugo, and transformation into the Sad Puppies group.

It was a little surprising to me to find it in such an action oriented book, but at least is remained secondary and didn't dominate Owen's thoughts or the storyline.

Correia does a good job of making the ultimate evil frightening, especially when using Owen's psychic connection to give insight into C.O.'s megalomania. The overall plot involves confronting one of the ultimate evils that abound, and while there isn't much mystery surrounding the final confrontation, there were a few twists along the way that had me surprised. It was also nice in the way his voice engaged me into Owen's point of view the introduction to the world of monsters, the love of guns and his growing competency in fighting monsters.

As such, his language is straightforward, but not so simplistic that I was bored. The first person point of view is told by an unusual hero a large, "ugly," now scarred accountant who was raised in family that emphasized guns and survival skills. Turned out to be an engaging read, and I'll definitely check out the next book in the series.
