The Wind and the Void by Ryan Kirk
3.0

This series could have been so much more. The premise of the series was interesting. It just didn't fully deliver on its promise to keep you entertained.

At times, it was remedial reading and redundant. "Akira took a break from fighting. He took a moment to catch his breath." Stuff like this doesn't add much to the storyline and it happens often where a thought is, well, thought again in the next sentence. Moriko was a star and her story was better than the rest. Even the tone was different when she was the focal point - you felt it. You wanted that from the other heroes and villains, but they were not given the same energy or pulse. It just feel flat. Things were also too predictable. As noted, this could have been truly epic.
