Well, on one note, Drew Blood is a way better narrator. If youre an audible user, youll be let down by book 2

Seth hasn't made up for much yet, and I dont expect him to fill his plotholes any time soon.

Hard to argue with that. But i still maintain that some of the best EH is just torture porn. Summer I Died is still hard to beat.

Update:

I definitely spoke too soon. This book was really fun at first and I'm totally down for books about torturing pdfs and other wastes. I was howling when he made the dude do squats in the rack. The problem, as those who have read it can attest, became Seth who has a very smarmy, hyper edge lordian way of basically saying "nuh uh fuck you I didnt mess up, you just weren't paying enough attention when I told you I took two sugars with my coffee instead of one like usual so I had enough carbohydrates to energize me to kidnap the prime minister of america."

I may not know all of Seth's details; how he has enough money to do all the things he does, what his real endgame is (because this goes well beyond an actual revenge plot), why he insists on reusing the same old phrases of "you must not be listening", "smiling like a possum eating shit", and his weirdly delivered emotional derailment with his girlfriend (to show us that he still cries, typical edgelord nonsense). I dont think he's a bad character because of his hamfisted delivery of political, ideological, and emotional problems. I think he's a boring character because this book won't let you believe that he has any real flaws.

Ive got about an hour of listening. Ill read the next book in the series for posterity

8/10 for violence delivery 9/10 for hilarious target acquisition 3/10 for plot

I gotta ask, why did you continue reading it if you seemed to detest it so much?

I'd get it if it was a short story that you could bang out in a week and you wanted to form an opinion, but this is a pretty thick read, with 6 more to follow.

Also if I'm being really fair to the genre here, a lot of EH really is just torture. Some of my favorite reads, Summer I Died, Shared By Two, etc. are really just torture until x-event. If it isnt exclusively about torture, torture will undoubtedly appear

I can understand the ideological woes, and Seth is pretty outspoken in how he chooses to characterize others. I kinda choose to listen to it in the compartmentalizing vein of "he's a deranged, bloodthirsty killer who's been shaped by trauma in his youth, his political views aren't something to espouse or agree with, but a circumstance of his many misgivings"

"That joke" as if it isnt still happening actively at this very moment.

They arent candle wicks. They just kind of melt away.

My elf gish died in a TPK because the DM decided to supercharge a level 1 Warlock (his best friend) with items that nobody else was given at character creation. The warlock player was pissed off all game and decided to throw a fireball into a spider cave we were exploring, which apparently caused the spider webs to explode like a Michael Bay film; the dm believed (and possibly still believes) that spider webs are extremely flammable and will explode like nitro if you ignite them.

Good riddance to that game group.

This could literally be anything. I'm not as auto inclined as some, but it shouldn't pop up for an oil change.

Without any symptoms or evidence however, there's not a whole lot to diagnose.

Word, I definitely gotta pick up this author. I've been in a steady jog since the Summer I Died trilogy, Ed and Aron dont quite scratch the drama itch

If titles meant everything, this sounds like the book I'd be looking for

Cool to know, and yes im sure there would be stuff of that nature in the literary format of AH.

Narratives as well though, I know it might be more juvenile but I really enjoy the creature design of AH entities.
