The Feast
The desert has been left behind, but Sinner’s troubles have not. He finds himself in an elaborate trap—him, and everyone else who failed to go north early. Now he has two options: accept his fate and die along with countless other losers or escape from the trap and pull his friends out.
Except to do that, he will have to fight the most terrifying animal ever.
Man.

Book four
I really enjoy Arthur Stone’s stories. I think he is one of the best storytellers out there.
However, I wish he had a better editor. There are missing words miss used phrases, and I think an author of this caliber needs an editor of the same kind of caliber, so that the stories that are written come out as polished.
As much as I love the stories, I can only give this a five out of 10. Hopefully the mistakes are fixed, and this will become a four-star book.

Big disappointment
Loved the previous three books but this latest installment left me wondering if I had misremembered how much I enjoyed them. I suspect the choice of characters introduced, dialogue and story is just not to my taste. I didn't manage to finish the book (something I dislike) so I can't claim to offer a comprehensive opinion. My two main gripes; The story appears made up as it goes along, like some poor 1970s fantasy. One character introduced is so unenjoyable to read about i kept skipping in the hope he died or disappeared.

hard to start
The narrative drops right in where the last book leaves off. Which is right in the middle of action.
It ended strong, but the middle slowed in a way that kicked me out for a bit. Occasional issues with English-as-a-second-language can tangle things up a bit.
I will probably read the next book, but there needs to be some development on the ‘secret plot’. Something about ‘why’ and ‘who’ to make this all make sense.

Sinner and opportunities
Sinner is back and deep in the thick of it again. This is a non typical series the author tells a good story. I enjoy the setting and the discovery of new information and assumptions as the story progresses. Sinner is a thinking man that uses his resources to the best advantage. The author does a good job of keeping this fresh throughout the books.

Love it.
I've been a huge fan of Cheater, and Sinner is coming in a close second. For those who aren't aware, Arthur Stone has 2 more series that are also the bomb. If you like this story I recommend reading Cheaters story as well it's so awesome. It's called Respawn and the first book is a little rough in the dialog department but each book gets better and better.

Great series
Translation from the original language to English can be problematic at times but still enjoyable. Overused expression, to be sure, is a headache. Still I love all his books where's my pre-order?

Great Series
This story of a guy who is sent to a challenge where the bad guys get a bonus for killing the regular people was Fantastic. Despite starting as a “feed meat” player our guy becomes the top player

Great read
I love all of Stones books. This series comes at it from such a different angle like most and has a very strong main character. I say definitely give it a go.

Even better than the last one!
Another great addition to the series. I was really mad about the ending of the last one but this made up for it. Great story!

meat conquers all
Solid addition to a fun series. Looking forward to the next one. I would have liked a few more chapters to finish out the zone.
