thistlechaser: (Book with cat 2)
Before the review: Sadly I think my poor Kindle is dying. The battery used to last a whole book, now it's losing 10-20% a day. I guess I'm going to have to replace it soon.

I have 300+ unread books on it. I hope I can somehow move folders between them across my computer, otherwise that's going to be a pain.

Fjorgyn: Shifting Sands (Book 3) by RJ Castiglione
Traditional or self-published: Self-published
Rating: Liked (Hated-Disliked-Okay-Liked-Loved)



This is the oddest book series. I guess I have to admit that I do like it (I was annoyed when I reached the end of this one and realized book four isn't out yet), but I can't tell you why I do.

The characters are so paper thin. After three books, I cannot tell you one single character trait about the main character other that everyone, including gods, love him.

The main character is gay and has had a boyfriend through these three books, which should be a great thing, but because I don't know anything about the main character (let alone any minor ones), it's just ho-hum.

The setting? The world is interesting enough, a pretty general video game setting.

I wonder if the fact that this is LitRPG is the only reason I like it? Because it's about being trapped in a video game?

Connections to characters are usually what sells a book for me, so that I feel nothing for the main character means I should have dropped the series in the first book. I just can't explain it.

Currently reading: Good Omens. I saw the show, but hadn't read the book, so I'm fixing that.
