The Ace of Skulls by Chris Wooding
Did not finish book. Stopped at 20%.
dramatic na kung dramatic pero it's with a heavy heart that I decided to dnf this kasi after reading the beginning and the last couple of chapters, I don't enjoy it much enough anymore to continue finishing it.
I'd say it's because the things I like best about the series so far--the camaraderie, Jez, the reckless abandon of only fighting for yourself, the schemes--is less present dito. Sobrang laki ng reliance on military might to up the stakes and while yes, it makes sense kasi there's a literal civil war going on, it doesn't mean that I had to enjoy that. And parang nagslide backward yung character development ni Frey. I just, don't feel the same compulsion he has for doggedly continuing to fight to save Trinica at the expense of his beloved crew.
I wish, he just left whatever they had at that.
Honestly, I think kaya lang ganun kalaki yung drive niya is para may nagdridrive sa plot. The plot of the novels is heavily reliant on conflict and, ito yung piniling main conflict. When kung tutuusin, pwede namang nagfocus na lang on other things since ang daming pwedeng ihugot sa ibang crew with their backstories tulad ng kay Jez, Silo, or Crake.
So ayun.. I guess at least Crake have had his closure, and na-enjoy ko yung shenanigans ni Pinn lmaoo
