Dumb, silly, overly macho, and a lot of fun. I don’t think it has taken me more than one day to read each volume. This is one of the better series from authors from the former Soviet bloc.
I received a review copy of this book. The Hunter's Code is book 21 in this series, (although, at the moment, Amazon only has 20 books listed in the series), but that's no reason to stop reading, especially if you're already enjoying the series. Things seem a bit off kilter for the first few chapters, but after that, things get back on track with a bang, and the book proceeds much as you would expect. This was certainly one of the dangling threads that needed resolved, and although, I don't think I'd call it resolved, it's certainly at least temporarily addressed. Now though, it's time to go read book 22. Liked this one, and am likely to dive into book 22 in the next day or two, depending on how my phones behave, since I can't read kindle books on the computer anymore *growl*
Very macho, sometimes very over the top but very entertaining to read and a lot of fun.
The negative: The MC often was too arrogant, childish and Gary Stu for me in this book and Shnoop didn't shine enough.
The positive: The story was funny and entertaining as usual and several major plots progressed. I loved the conclusion of the cursed art plot but would have liked to learn more about Bella.
Xander is even busier than usual combating the nameless one , the horde , treachery in Japan whilst he expands his influence and rebuilds his relationship with his father, his mother even appears.One of the best books so far.
