A review by shmemmals
The Daylight War by Peter V. Brett
3.0
Okay first I just need to address something clearly occurring in Brett's writing. In this book, it just takes off. But it honestly just feels he's taking in some of his own personal sexual fantasies and throwing them in the book where he sees fit. And I know very well that almost all these sexual encounters are geared more for men. Like, I get it and it doesn't throw the story off too much... But I mean really... Why not allow a female character to have a threesome with two guys? Why pass over the lesbian sexual encounter so quickly? Like if we're going to filling this book with sexual fantasies... Why not broaden our target audience a bit, Brett?
Other then the porn-like scenes, the story carries pretty well. I honestly don't know what it is that I like about the series, but I still find myself wanting to know how it's all going to end. The female characters are trash and Brett could use a little constructive criticism on improving his fictional women. But even though there's hardly one character that I can relate to, I'm still drawn in and that's a first.
I know this review feels more like a back handed compliment, but the fact that I can't figure out why I keep reading this book but also still really want to read it, is meant to be a positive review.
But for real Brett... Either go easy on the male focused porn scenes, or add some for the ladies too. Please?
