Enjoyable but disjointed

I have to say that the historical fanatic passages at the beginning of these books drain a lot of enjoyment out of them for me. The story is pretty interesting, and it's nice to see Drew's team solidifying and taking some of the pressure off of him. So far I like the new guard, but I still have reservations on any characters with outside knowledge and impact. For whatever reason, context clues show that this dimensional version of Drew and Earth are being targeted possibly more heavily than others. Interesting read, but I'm not sure if I'll read more yet.

Not sure why the book was titled Temper. I have very times felt this unfulfilled from a series and still wanted to rate it 5 stars. So many good things happening in this book. Great storytelling, progression, and a lots of fun... but it really does not fulfill me. I just feel like the ending of the book is just the chapter the editor decided to cut that episode and it will continue on next episode... except the next episode isn't coming next week. This makes me want to put the series aside until much later on.. *shrug*

There's really nothing here that gets my motor revving. It's solid GameLit but not outstanding.

Still very good! Wasn’t much progression until the Diablo third of the book which was annoying. Even then he only upgrades a small percentage of his skills which was honestly infuriating.

Was cool to have another order member around to explain and introduce more of the universe to us. Not quite enthused with some of the choices for this book but it’s setting up the third for something big. Hoping that one is longer.

8/10
