The Review
The pulp style of storytelling from the previous volume of this series is continued in this book. The action only stops long enough for a quick refueling and starts right back up. For a short book, this story is crammed with events.
The story is told primarily from Rusty’s perspective which allows the reader a chance to get to know his character. Rusty has a surprisingly empathetic nature considering the pulp style of storytelling, and the reader will be hard pressed not to cheer him on as he tries to protect both the creatures around him and his romantic interest, Chaz, who was introduced in an early volume of the series. Although this is the sixth volume of the World Breaker Beginnings series, the story reads well as a standalone.
The author is talented at depicting graphic violence and creating vivid imagery of the different worlds Rusty visits. The disturbingly graphic violence leads to a rather satisfying resolution that will leave the reader anticipating more stories about the World Breaker universe.
This is a great read if you want a quick and dirty fantasy story with loads of action, a dash of romance, and some interesting applications of telekinesis.
