Death Drop The DEvolution Book One Sean Allen 9780983284093 Books

I'm on page 247 and am calling it quits. It seems that this book would be great for someone who is not an avid sci/fi reader, but for those of us who love the genre may have a few problems with it.
First the names and discriptions of some of the races are just silly. For instance Moxen, who look alot like upright standing ox. Mewlatia, who look feline(mew, you know the things that cats "say"). Extollers, can you guess this one? Yep they keep the exorcized spirits of their enemy with them. It just got annoying after a while.
Then there is the over explaining every detail. Sci/fi is fun because it allows you to use your imagination, but the author, I don't think, trusts the average reader to be able to do that.
I had this book in my Kindle for a while and had been looking forward to reading it, now I'm just bummed.

Death Drop The DEvolution Book One Sean Allen 9780983284093 Books Reviews

I would give this a 2 1/2 star review if I could, simply because it was free. Had I paid for it, it probably would have been 2 stars at best.

First off, the positive...there is an interesting story here, and I did want to find out how the story plays out. Dezmara, the main character, and her sidekick Simon, were enjoyable characters, and I did find myself caring how their exploits turned out.

However, I found the writing style to generally feel like a chore to read. More often than not, I did not feel encouraged to get to the next page. Often it just felt like page after page after page with nothing really happening. An early battle in a space port that seemed to take about 15 to 30 minutes of story time, felt like it took 50 pages to get through.

Also, after reading the reviews on this site, I thought someone played a trick on me when I started reading the book. Dezmara, the main character and most appealing character in the story, doesn't appear until about 20% into the book. So if you do decide to read the book after reading the reviews, be prepared for this.

I am not going to spoil the ending of the book at all, but I will say I was disappointed in the ending and have a lot of problems with it.

So, while I did find some interesting ideas and was interested in how things moved along, I did not enjoy my time reading the book, and I don't think I will get the next book. The author's writing style just isn't for me.
After reading the reviews, I expected something outstanding. On starting, it appeared to be written for young adolescents- lots of action, heroes and villains, but sacrificing good characters for the sake of another leap on the plot. I struggled and nearly archived it. The reviews kept me persevering, and it was worth it. The last half of the book continued to get better, until I really enjoyed the ride. My impression is that the book was written over a very long period, and the author greatly developed during the writing. The main character, Dezmara, becomes increasingly engaging over time, and I admit to a burning curiosity as to the origins of this lone human in a bizarrely peopled (alien-ed) universe. If the second book starts like this ended, then it will be well worth
Action packed space thriller from the first page! From the Prologue to the Epilogue, Death Drop is fast paced and explosive! The characters have souls of their own and Sean Allen brings them together in a synergistic blend of charisma and wanton action packed mayhem!! Reading this book is like a roller coaster ride for the mind!! You are being led one way and suddenly being slammed into another heart thumping direction! Many surprises, twists and turns. Some likable...some not but all come together nicely! Read it twice and I'm thirsty for more!!! I am looking forward to the next book "Daelekon"!
I have no idea who wrote the positive reviews or the description on the back. I wonder if they even read the book. I read the sample 53 pages and was not impressed. I had to double check to see if this book was the right one or if I had confused it with another.

I only bought it because of the good reviews and blurb about a strong heroine. When I got to 107 with no females to be found, I just gave up. I did search the book to see when/if she showed up. She does, on page 133.

the characters you are introduced to in the first hundred pages were not people I even cared about. Some things they do, let someone mourn for 7 hours when they have just been ambushed, are silly.

The book was painful to read. The author liked top use "boom" "kaboom" "hahaha" which was jarring and inappropriate.

The reader that compared this to a song of fire and ice is lying. They are nothing alike. Game of thrones was full of rich descriptions and intrigue. You loved or hated characters. I honestly couldn't care less about the characters in this book.

Read the sample pages. If you don't like that, then don't bother with this.

(returning for my 2.99)
