Metaworld Chronicles: Vol. 4

Metaworld Chronicles #4

by David J. Wuto

A family Gwen did not know she had. A city of dubious ties in which she is an outsider. A hostile world of hierarchy and order seeking to exploit her powers of the Void. Now in the middle of her University years at Fudan, Shanghai, Gwen will carve out a bloody niche for herself and her friends, wrought from the sheer presence of her beauty and her terror, aided by her zippy Ariel and an all-consuming Caliban. Continue Gwen's adventures as she reconnects with her father's Clan and makes peace with a past she is only beginning to discover. Join her endeavours as she ventures into the hive cities of Shanghai's Districts, haunted by a scarlet-eyed avenger seeking redress against Gwen's path of destruction.

Im getting tired of this shit. Gwen is not improving and keeps on making the same fucking mistake. She is getting her party in danger because of her misplaced morals. She is like to incorruptible goody too shoe in a kill or be killed world. When will she learn? Her master already died because of her naivety. Now she is dping the same mistake. Sparing her enemies because oh her sense of justice.

This is the stupidest militant pacifist i have every seen. She wants to bee too powerful that people wont fuck with her. But she spares her enemies and dont give them lessons they wont forget. If Gwen doesnt grow a pair and do what the romans do.. i will drop this story.

This would have been 10 times better if Gwen adopted Richards way of thinking after book 2.

I read this fantasy originally on Royal Road: https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/141...

There are five published novels on Amazon (audiobook format also available. Book 4 has Gwen Song in Fudan, Shanghai in the middle of her university years. She is an outsider in a hostile, hierarchical country. She's also trying to connect with her father's clan and understand the history and these newly discovered ties. I gave three-star rating because this volume wasn't as interesting as the first three. I am sort of getting tired of the pace of the story, so I might take a break before reading the next volume. It's not posted on Goodreads yet anyway.

Pretty good volume, although I miss the Australian crew. This made it feel longer for me as the Shanghai crowd has less personality (except Peaches). I’m also waiting for Gwen to decide which direction she is taking her sexuality in her second life, right now we only get the occasional awkward cousin moment. Also, a school trip to Peach Trees housing project, who could have seen that going wrong? Although the climax was pretty good, I’m ready for her to get past her Jason Asano moments of coming to terms with her “evil” powers.

Eager to read.

One of the series of books that are hard to put down. The plot, and characters keep me looking forward to the next chapters and books.

Loving it, can't put it down.

DUAL WIELDING SHEETS OF METAL

Look, I *really* dislike apartheid fiction, but this does a decent address of it, somewhat, in places. Somewhat. But the world building is nifty. All told, I guess I'm in?

...well, I'm reading ahead on RR now, so I guess I'm in. A fun read, but a *seriously* multi-layer messed up background world.
