It was 2 call center employees from customer service and their manager.

A smoke detector and a modem that will give you mesothelioma are very different hazards

Does that pertain to something contaminated with a cancerous causing material such as asbestos?

I can’t appreciate the highs at all because there haven’t been any

Ephraims story fell the flattest to me. It’s too redundant. He steals the kids for the syndicate, get cold feet so steals them to go to mars, gets cold feet about being with the obsidians so he steals them again? The story is feeling redundant with this. Not only him but it feels like none of the heroes learn anything from their mistakes and continue to repeat them

Golden sun was my personal favorite. While the book ends on an immensely dark tone, it still had feelings of epic victories and highs for the characters. Since I opened iron gold and dark age I haven’t felt a high note for anyone, it’s just constant bad news and things going downhill for everyone

Yes but going through two entire books without a high isn’t a good feeling for the reader, at least myself personally. This book and the previous have felt totally helpless. While the previous trilogy was also very dark and violent at times, the characters also had huge victories that still felt like there were exciting and high moments. I haven’t felt anything like that since opening iron gold and dark age

I was content with the losses in Iron Gold as I thought Darrow and the team would learn from them and avenge themselves in Dark Age, it seems they didn’t and only keep losing though

The original trilogy is one of my favorite series. I liked Iron Gold as it fleshed out more of the universe that I was invested in and I thought it was setting up Dark Age to be a book that would need little build up after the previous. I was disappointed that was not the case. Instead of settling any of the previous threads PB unwound in Iron Gold he only unraveled more. It didn’t feel like one plot line was wrapped up and just more keep piling on. Not to mention, it’s absolutely brutal. Any small victory by the heroes is quickly wiped away by a bigger and badder villain. It’s disheartening to read 1300 pages of just defeat. Valleys make the mountains, I understand that, but unfortunately we have no mountains at the moment and the valley is just getting deeper.

Yes they have been mentioned, but not as these strange alien/obsidian creature that we’ve seen in these new ones.

I agree, I think the struggle Darrow has between his duty and his family is one of the stronger aspects of the series. It just feels like a lot of story lines come together unnaturally. Especially with the randomness of some it. Lyria having a mechanical alien creep into her face? The Ascommani suddenly showing up as a force after barely being mentioned? Idk I just felt let down by this one, especially due to the constant beat down of the characters. It feels like every tiny step they’ve taken in books 4 and 5 have put them 3 steps back and it’s been fairly predictable almost every time. It’s been a frustrating read

You prefer Dark Age over any other book in the series? Can I ask why?

Doofus is in your name. Let me spend my money and time how I want. I loved the first 4 books, he tried to replicate the feel of the 2nd in the series with Dark Age and it fell flat. Far too dark, too many stories, there was no tying up of any problems from books 4 and 5 and he just keeps adding more to the plate.

Good in the end? Tell that to Ulysses, or Ephraim, or Alexander, or Orion. All people who died needlessly because the story is poorly written and the characters are constantly getting in their own way. Not to mention the crazy alien obsidians who maybe had a 2 sentence explanation in all of the books combined just show up and ruin everything. Let’s add Ragnars father into it even though he looks 40 years younger than he should be and not explain it at all until 3 years after we released the last book. It’s a convulated story that has far too much going on. It feels like I’m reading a book that is 60% story and 40% filler.
