  • Demon In White - Book 3 of the Sun Eater Series. I have mixed feelings on this book so far. The first book didn’t really click until the last third for me. The second book was great. This one has a big slog in the middle.

    I think Demon In White is suffering from an identity crisis. Like it’s a space opera with weird aliens and bio-robots. Why are we having feudal Game of Thrones style bullshit interjected in my space wars? Go back to the alien gods possessing people. I’m on the last 3rd of the book and it’s just starting to pick up again with the stuff that interests me the most. I still got almost 250 pages to go and the story is already probably 250 pages too much.

    The highs are really high in this series. Like some of the most thought provoking passages lit my mind up like a Christmas tree. The lows are also really low. That ebb and flow really ebbed for chunks of this book. The main structure of the series, which is this is a memoir written by the MC after the fact, is really starting to hurt the story in this one. Like we know where he is, he’s still alive, and he’s in “exile.” That was laid out from the start of book one. The foreshadowing isn’t subtle or interesting at this point. Which is a shame because it was and can be. It just fell flat in parts of this book.
