Status Updates From Shadowrun - Dunkle Resonanz

Well, that's a rare occurence and probably an indication of just how disappointing I find this book. I chose to not finish it at 252 pages. I wish characters and the world had been better developed and actually described, rather than assuming that readers know the world. I also wish that the villains had been less stereotypical and the metaphysics of the interaction between resonance and magic had been shown more

This book is really not good. So far, the plot is not very recognisable as such, and the characters act inconsistent from one scene to the next. The worldbuilding and the connection to the larger Shadowrun universe happens by fits and starts and by being stated rather than shown or developed. Maybe it will get better in the second half, but I doubt it... And what's worst is that Weldon is not a bad writer otherwise

DNF at 108 pages.

ok on page 89 theres a whole paragraph where a character summarises the events of the book because even they know this plot makes no fucking sense at all

im doing ANOTHER game tie-in novel, this time about a game im not familiar with, hear we fuckin go ladies

Second best from Shadowrun series I read so far.
