Mini-Review:
4.5 Stars for Narration by Tim Gerard Reynolds
4 Stars for Overall Plot Elements for World
4 Stars for Game Mechanics & Interesting Use of Jobs/Skills/Abilities
3 Stars for Chase
4 Stars for Side Characters
I loved the side characters, the clever use of jobs/skills/abilities and the touches of info that added to the world. I've been trying to figure out why I was not drawn into the story like Stuff & Nonsense. It's because Chase doesn't come across as a complete character. By the end of the trilogy, I have a basic idea of who Chase is as a person but it's only a bit more than what was established in book one.
My impulse is to rate the book 3 stars because I didn't love the whole thing. I liked pieces of it and where the over arcing plot is going. I didn't care that much about the main plot points of this trilogy. I'm raising the rating to 4 because I enjoyed the story in small batches. The setting, game mechanics & side characters are a good chunk of the story and that was well done.

Power up!
I love that the series ends the way it does but at the same time doesn’t end! The characters have grown so much in their own way and the jobs really shine through in their own way. A little predictable at times but I suppose in some ways that was the point leading to an inevitable idea in the world itself. I am really looking forward to where the world goes from here and the Uber hidden undercurrent within the series world!
