Tamer: king of dinosaurs 6 was fine, but wasn’t the best book of the series it actually was probably the worse. After reading it it’s pretty much the same old same old thing with nothing that exciting and what I mean about that is that there’s really no sense of danger, it’s just sort of boring at this point. This book was also just disturbing. I know I go off a bit on this series, but the reason why I do is because I see so much potential in it and there are many good parts, however the bad outweighs the good.
What I did like about it was the fact that we got to explore new lands, explore more about Victors powers, the new villains, the big bad villain, a few hilarious scenes and Grumpy.
What I hated about this book is that it was Victor and Emerald centric and it was just terrible. Emerald is a creepy ass character, and when she can communicate with Victor telepathically… just no, she is so annoying. I’m getting really tired of these woman fawning over Victor and there’s just too many of them at this point who just want to have babies with him. Also, Trel is just becoming super annoying bringing up babies all the time though it’s not as bad as Emerald… going back to Emerald though.
(Rant warning)
One the biggest issues I have with this book is the constant talk of rape and Victors character moment with Emerald towards the end. At the last few chapters of the book we are introduced to a group of survivors (all men with unique personalities when they’re not talking about rape) and of course they’re the bad guys. Really? We honestly need more male characters that aren’t evil, because Victor just needs it along with us the audience. More male characters that aren’t just woman that join his tribe. Anyways going back to the topic, these guys seem to want to rape a few woman, only to have Victor get extremely upset, as he should at the subject. But later after the fight with the men, Emerald suggests while they’re talking to a new female character named Bexie that Victor should rape her?! She literally went into detail that she and her clone will hold her down to allow Victor to rape her! What the actual hell is this garbage?! Eluding to rape is one thing, but going into detail of how to do it? That is disgusting! And the biggest problem is that the one who is suggesting it is a character from Victors tribe and instead of getting upset that she would even bring that topic up he just brushes it off and then related how Emerald is so similar to Trel. That is awful and abhorrent!
Victor literally slaughtered a bunch of men because they all talked about rape, tortured another man earlier because he was going to take Emerald’s clone (which by the way that scene was completely unnecessary), only to sit there and not even talk or reprimand Emerald as she is suggesting raping an innocent woman?! Did I also mention that Emerald is also huge into eugenics? And she is supposed to be one of the ones we’re rooting for and feel a connection with? What the actual hell was the author thinking when he wrote this and wrote Victor’s response? Just awful.
Another rant is that whenever Victor is being attacked or trying to kill these other survivors he’s always like, “This is so dangerous…. I’m going to have to risk it all… this idea is so crazy it might just work.” Danger? Crazy? Risk it all? Risk what?! He literally wins every battle without so much of a scratch on him or any of his Dino’s. He killed 4 Giga’s with only a handful of his Dino’s which included, Nicole, Grumpy, the Troodons, and Bruce…. None of them got hurt or died. Where’s this sense of danger and risk? He killed a bunch of survivors with a bunch of deadly abilities, with one of the guys literally having energy swords for arms!
Now finally the big bad and why I hate this book so much….Atron….God emperor who can stop time and one that Victor was running from. The most vicious survivor yet and the most powerful. Conqueror of an entire galaxy. King of everything. All of that and he was then easily defeated. What a friggen joke!
All that build up and for what? Just so that this author can just milk his followers with teases of an epic fight. If this guy put as much effort into fights with other survivors as he does with dinosaurs and actually showed some lose on Victors part or hell even showed some effort as he does with the sex scenes, this book would be better. But no, this series is a joke and it pisses me off because there is literally so much potential to it.
(End of rant)
This book slowly went from a 3 to a 2 to a 1 and if I could go lower I would. Terrible character development, terrible climax, terrible writing, just too many things that are terrible that outweigh the good. I am very disappointed in this series.
I was hesitant to continue to read this series after book 3, though my hopes went up with book 4 and 5, but after this I am done. If you’re into this that’s fine enjoy it, but I hope to those of you who are hesitant about reading this book like I was will know not to continue and not waste your money on this series.
