About this listen

Contains books 1 and 2 of The Game of Gods series.

The Beginning, book 1:

The gods have gotten bored, and humanity is the answer.

Charles earns the ultimate surprise one morning when he awakens to discover the world has ended, or rather the gods of old were bored and decided to redesign how it worked. Everyone else got a nice little message that showed up their vision; everyone else woke up when the gods decided to make their decision known. Only Charles gets cursed by the gods, and only Charles gets a visit from one as well. The Game of the Gods has begun and the monsters of old are returning to our world, and all it took was the death of half the world's population and counting.

The Death of Champions, book 2:

The gods have begun to change Earth, leaving humanity confused and desperate.

Charles and Alli have managed to survive the first week of the apocalypse; unfortunately for them, it isn't over yet. The changes to the world are still ongoing and new monsters are being born. For Charles the only thing that matters is finding his sister, but what happens after? The enemies of humanity are revealed and begin to unite under the banner of enemy gods.

Champions stand on both sides of the field and it is time for some to die.

I'm not good at this writing reviews, but I do think my title captures my feelings towards these books. I'm off to but the next one and also the hard copy version of them as well I need these in my collection.

OMG AMAZEBALLS

I generally try to finish books before reviewing but I'm not sure I will be making the effort here. Parts of the narrative make no sense, narratively or within the framework. the gods curse someone and then give him amazing gifts. when the gifts don't work out very well, predictable, they exchange one for something even more powerful artifact.

the pacing is not great, I have found it difficult to care for the mc nor have a reason to, magic superdog out of nowhere is the mvp, his stated motivations are put aside at the drop of a hat. His first contact with survivors is brushed off without much context. The gods save the chatacter by sending him someone else, who is apparently important to the characyer because he had a chat with her...but not the other survivors? the dialogue, motivations and actions are basically there to be ignored when convenient.

jusy not a very well written book. I don't like writing poor reviews, especially for something in the audible plus library but I really did not find this a good investment of my time to read, even if it is free.

I did not find any compelling elements to get me invested in the story.

inconsistent and not well written
