Fists of Iron by J.A. Cipriano
3.0
So I'm finally through my 3 book bundle.
This one had some moments that annoyed me more than in the last one (the three way romance that got even worse AGAIN for example, and a "twist" so predictable it almost hurt) but it also had some moments I quite enjoyed more! I liked different gods coming in and meeting some new characters. So overall I'll stay at 3*.
The story was a bit too crazy, and a lot of things too easy, but overall the plot was interesting enough, the pace fast and the writing smooth. (Not just in this one but the whole series, though for the whole series there's also quite a bit that felt pretty repetitive.)
My main problem really was the largest be interest and mainly the main character. He is read like a teenager who can't say one sentence without a swearword, which is fine in action scenes or such, but got on my nerves in situations where a bit of respect might have been called for. Also he just is so damn cocksure of himself and knowing everything best, and all works out for him anyway. Him telling me all the time that he is an asshole, but wants to be less of one didn't really feel right either, he does seem to think he's pretty fine the way he is...
All in all I don't regret having spent the time reading the series, but I definitely wouldn't miss it either had I read another one instead.
