RazorsCut

by Troy Hallewell

As Rock and Caroline continue their journey with a new companion, they discover their world, which previously seemed so empty, is beginning to feel uncomfortably occupied.

In RazorsCut, Rock and Caroline find themselves among a people seeking purpose in a “post wandering” world. And although all cultures have dealt with the horror of The Wandering in different ways and for different reasons, Rock and Caroline soon learn that no matter how many smiles you see, when lies are told eventually the truth must come out.

And when truth is denied with a whisper, it will be revealed with a bang.

This was my favourite of the three books in this series so far. Rock and Caroline have been manoeuvred by the Solace leadership into seeking a trade deal with Desereen, a society beyond the moutains to one side of the Waste. Solace are running short of metals, and since Desereen has a huge mining community, the city really wants to do business. But every envoy they have sent has never returned. Rock and Caroline have no choice, but they are betrayed by someone they thought they could trust. A challenging escape leads them finally to Desereen, a well-ordered quasi-religious community spread across a huge region. But beneath the compliant and perfect veneer, Desereen society is starting to crack, as a rebellion builds against the rulers.

Again, there was little of the post-apocalyptic in this book, but another large slice of world-building. I liked this one better, I think, because the story moved away from Rock and Caroline to other characters, and there was a certain amount of humour this time around. The extra characters meant a better idea of what Desereen society was like, and, much as I like the two leads, it was kind of refreshing to have a break from them.

My disappointment here was that this was left on something of a cliffhanger. For some reason I'd gotten it into my head that this was a trilogy, but evidently it isn't given where things ended. But still, it does mean that there will be at least one more book to look out for.

I jumped into this series with this book so I really did not get the jest of it right off. But, as it progresses, things become a little clearer. If you plan on reading this or listening like I did, find the first 2 books and listen to them first. After I did that, this one fell right into place.

The author and narrator are one in the same. He did a really good job narrating for this being his 3rd book. He also read books 1 & 2. The lay of the land is described so that you feel that you are there with the characters as the story progresses.

It was a good read and I would recommend this book to all I meet.

This is the third book in the series and in deals mostly with new characters to assist Rock and Caroline in their mission to assist allies. This particular book, to me, missed the mark somewhat of the previous stories. This particular story tended to depend on a lot of consequences, which tended to take the believability out of the stories. Overall though, it made a good addition to the series.

This is a good conclusion to the series and despite the fact that it is not my most favourite in the trilogy I still liked how it expanded on the world and how new interesting characters were introduced.

Ntriguing, but flawed.

Again, poor editing running a half-decent story.

A talented storyteller letting himself down by failing to do t.he basics.

So many logic fails - and so, so many spelling and grammatical mistakes.

If I can find them, in a day, why can't you?

Not really my cup of tea

A great read.

I have enjoyed all the previous books of this story and I can't wait to continue with the next one.
