Clayton Cummings’s Reviews > Starter Villain > Status Update

I want to start writing reviews that are more critical than my past “5-stars for everything.”

With that in mind, this book is fun, but it has flaws. Around the 150 page make it became a little monotonous with its formula. There is A LOT of talking and telling, with little showing. The formula seems to be, describe something happening for half a page and have characters talk about it for 5-10 pages.

A meeting of villains coinciding with a business/startup convention is fantastic.

So far the book has been pretty good! I’ve hit a few patches where the writing felt a little millennial, but I still enjoy the style. The cats are such a fun addition and the running of a villainous enterprise makes for some fun topics!

Good book so far, I’m tearing through it.
