Monster Tamer

The first half of the book tells an interesting story but the writing style soon turns to an awkward and stilted form filled with constant dumps of exposition. Character A: Thinks very profound thoughts for a few pages, "I will now tell you about my profound thought." Character B: "That is a very interesting profound thought. Let me tell you about my profound thought." Character C: "I also have a profound thought that I need to share with you." Character A: "My whole outlook on life has been changed by your profound thoughts. I now have some new profound thoughts to describe over the next few pages." It became quite tiresome to read the second half. I am going to give the 2nd book a chance in the hopes that this was just a difficult set of scenes for the writer to convey and not a sign of their long term writing style.

Nice story, new spin/hook on the genre. Would have been 5 stars if it wasn't for the excessive rationalising of established character thought patterns.

Writing can barely be described as technically competent. It is so dull and filled with weird sentence pacing I hit the back button after 2 pages to write this.
