Betrayal by Aaron Allston
1.0
Okay so I read this series as a child and I absolutely loved it, but I hadn’t read the whole series, somehow I missed all the books by Aaron Alston and this was one of the books I missed.
And boy am I glad I didn’t read it as a kid. It is extremely long winded for no purpose, and Aaron Allston’s writing in this is absolutely terrible. Like did he have an editor go over this?
It sucks because the story itself is really interesting and the rest of the series is great. But I literally couldn’t finish the ebook, I had to switch to the HEAVILY abridged audiobook because reading it felt worse than doing math homework. Really too bad that Allston had to be the author for the first book in this series, I wouldn’t be surprised if it turned so many people off from reading the rest of it, which isn’t fair because the rest of the series is great (minus the other Allston books if they’re written this poorly). I highly recommend the audiobook to start off this series if you’re considering it, otherwise just skip this book and go on to the next one.
Very disappointing.
