Reviews

[Adam · Rating 2 out of 5]

This is the novel where the protagonist begins working together with the other students who were summoned to the other world. In doing so, I believe the author is trying to show character growth on the part of the protagonist, but he largely fails in this goal. Instead the protagonist simply comes across as a different person. There was no gradual growth to get to this point; instead suddenly his entire attitude and way of living abruptly shift. There is a bit of an explanation for this sudden shift (the previous book ends with the protagonist having killed another person for the first time), but it isn't sufficient to explain the shift, and you would expect a shift of becoming more withdrawn rather than more engaged from such an explanation.

Too many shifts

Like the series but the 4th book had to many perspective shifts. I don't like when this happens. I thinks its better to keep your attention with one perspective. I was kinda bored when the other characters were " fleshed" out.

Great story

I really enjoy this series. It's one of my top ten! Can't wait for the next book to release! Can't wait to see what happens next!
