The Theos by Nathan Hystad

2.0

The Theos, book five of The Survivors saga. According to the blurb it's “a tale of love, adventure, deception and above all else: surviving”. Unfortunately there’s no suspense, no danger, no mystery, it's very predictable and a bit bland, oh! Everything is really “handy” and “convenient” to say the least. I found it difficult to invest in the characters, knowing nothing will really happen to them. Whatever dangerous or life threatening situation they find themselves in, you know someone or something “handy” will show up to save the day. The main characters constantly express a wish to settle down, start a family, have a normal life, difficult to do when you're the only person that can save the universe, a planet or a race of beings. I think, if I’m not mistaken, they've saved the universe in every book so far. Way to go guys! And don’t get me started on the theos, supreme beings, you must be pulling my plonker, after taking all that time to find them, what did they do, diddly squat, nada, absolutely FA.
