Just a big old meh. I don't know when these books started to all run together in my brain but the pacing and the plot points just feel so carbon copy to the rest of the books. I don't feel like there are any real stakes and everyone just has the thickest plot armor even against the
Lovecraftian reality eating level of shit they're up against now. I really thought Adam was going to die in that last fight, but no, it's deus ex pack bonds to the rescue again 🙄
. I'm just so bored by all of it, even the sex scenes are extra bland. The best character is Goblin King Larry by far. I'll stick around for the final book, but I guess I wish more had been done with tens of thousands of words and a decade of writing. The world that's been built is better than most of the stories that have been told in it.
