Obsidian Son by Shayne Silvers
3.0
Eh.
Pros: Great world building. Well written fight scenes. Some hilarious use of fantasy characters. Great secondary characters. So great, in fact, that the main character doesn't deserve them.
Cons: Nate Temple is insufferable. He's rich, handsome, and powerful, and 50% of the books is spent reminding you of that. No thanks. He's a narcissist and the fact that the book is his first person POV means you're stuck listening to him talk about himself and how wonderful he is.
I'm torn on if I'll continue the series. If Gunner and Tory get their own series, I'm on board. But Nate Temple's favorite song is "Greatest Love of All" and I don't know if I can deal with another book about how perfect he is.
