jaggededgereviews's review against another edition
3.0
At 12% into this book I am just waiting for something to just grip me and not let me go. This book is good but I wouldn't really call it gripping. I do like Ash, I am really interested to go back and read the other books to see what made him, him. I don't want to put too much into this review as I feel like I would giveaway some spoilers. But there are a few twists in there that you wouldn't expect. He starts a list of things he needs to accomplish at the start of the book. I am a lover a lists... It seems he is as good at accomplishing the items on the list as I am. If you read the book you'll see how good I am at accomplishing things on my list. :) I feel it wasn't until about 70% through this book that I was really drawn into this book that it really had me and I had gotten through it a bit quicker. That's when everything started to really get shocking and into the thick of things. I loved the writing all around, I loved the characters and the diversity. But based off of how slow it was at first and through a large portion of the book for me it makes it really hard for me to rate the book. I do recommend reading the book as I stated before I really want to read some of Ash's earlier adventures see what made him into the man. He is because from what I can tell in this book, he has gone down a difficult journey and really came out a wonderful man.
