review 1: Correia did better with this one than the last two. He's improving perhaps? This was told through Harbinger's perspective. I think he is a more interesting character than the guy from the first two books (Pitt). Although I liked the dialogue better this time, I still found some fundamental problems with his antagonists. There is no gray area there - it's either a good guy or an evil guy. We're supposed to believe the MCB guy is a former SEAL, but at the same time he comes off as a truly selfish bad guy. What kind of SEAL would do a government type job for 25 years and be that jaded? In any event, on to book #4.
review 2: So, I’m geared up and ready for my team of fearless Monster Hunters. What will they fight this time? Zombies? Gargoyles? Elves or Gn... moreomes? But, as I get further and further into the book, I realize, the team won’t appear. This book strictly sticks to Earl Harbinger and his story. We delve into how he became one of the oldest and most powerful Lycanthropes the world has ever seen. The story bounces from distant history to recent history in a dizzying and fitful floppiness that worked at times, and frustrated at others. Oh, and it was bloody. Definitely the most vile and violent monster massacre yet, it seemed the gore even surprised Earl. I feel like I know Earl now and he went from just a character to a big character in the scheme of things for me. I did miss the team though, and will read the next one to catch up. The characters are becoming old friends. I guess that’s the sign of a good series, huh? less
