In fact, the only reason I'm writing this review is to warn others who like real novels with deep characters who move past "im going to tell you what Im going to do next" scenes.Lets start with Leo. He has the character and charm of a wooden spoon, yet somehow everyone is "drawn" to him. I put that in quotations, because it is mentioned by practically everybody all the time. What does he do that is charming? Why nothing of course! He is somehow a well mannered, respectful 80 yr. old man in the body of a boy who grew up, at least for some time, in the apparently dark and gritty alleys, which makes no sense. But when it comes to violence, he becomes Bruce Lee. And when it comes to magic, he apparently has wards all over his body. In fact, most of the book makes no sense. Every character is drawn the same way, in the same style, and have no character, are all perfect and wealthy and respectful except for one, Alexander, the baker's son, who even though tried to get Leo killed, is essentially helped by Leo and never heard from again.Then there's rich Argon, who immediately falls head over heals for Leo, the rich Doc who falls head over for Leo, the baker who gives away insane amounts of money to Leo (at least before 'platinum' coins are introduced), his friends who are just there, in my mind, to bail him out and also give a street vibe to Leo (Mouse, Oak, & Stick....really now?). Oh and I forgot Syntha, some ridiculously successful coffeehouse owner, just two years older than Leo (aww how perfect) who he falls in love with Im assuming immediately, because that's about all the lazy author describes. As for descriptions of any of these characters, I couldn't say in the least. The author doesn't seem to want anyone to picture them, just believe that they are who they are, which apparently is sycophants.I love how the book sums itself up in the last passage when Leo goes to meet the Chronicler, apparently some CEO of some future corp...or something equally as laughable. He says, basically, that he befriends people, introduces xia, and meets ricin. Perfect. Absolutely perfect description of how boring the book is. Leo essentially does just that and nothing else. He makes it seem that all you need is money, which apparently, grows off trees in this world. I'm sorry to burst the authors little bubble of utopia here, but his world is so small because there are no adverse forces to Leo (maybe save some 40 pages about some evil clone....I kid you not, that is how laughably childish this all is). Oh wait I forgot. There's that one guy the keeper who beats him up, once, and then some rando who tries unsuccessfully to kill, or even put the fear in his girlfriend, a rich coffeehouse lady (yeah another lol right there). And apparently, even though his gf is a glorified waitress, she can beat up a guy who apparently grew up under an Alley Lord in a gang and cut off his finger. That brings me to my next point: the author hates fingers.Apparently, chopping off a few digits is the holy grail of punishments in this made up 'world'. I guess genitalia would be too extreme for this author, and leg too messy and mean, but fingers? Who needs em! Everybody's got ten so chopping off a few is the perfect punishment!I'm going to end by referring to one of the 'top' reviews mentioning that this is a 'big picture' author. I'm assuming whoever wrote this is either paid, a friend, or has never read a history book in his life, for there is nothing big picture about this book. No enemies really, no other kingdoms besides some super-warrior, xia drinking one. No people who can match Leo's godliness in everything. No hardships endured, no devious plans hatched, no counterplots, no deep friendships, rivalries, revolts, things-gone-awry, foreshadowing, world events not caused by or foretold to be caused by Leo, explanations of culture, magic, the world, how things look, the sense of space and time, etc. This is a small small picture writer, who gave up characterization to tell the most boring step by step sequence of someone destined to become the Supreme World Ruler without having to try.
9 of 11 people found the following review helpful. Not too Remarkable (if you think about it) By Stephen Belikoff The main character is clever, knows how to think and plan ahead. I'm still not too amused, let alone entertained. Being fated, given an apparent destiny kind of takes the credit out of an accomplishment. Were there any hardships that the main character had to deal with in this novel? Yes. Was there any degree of uncertainty at any point that things were not going to go exactly as planned for him? No.In the end, there is no point in reading this book, regardless of how well or terribly it was written. The story comes down to this:"Once upon a time there was a boy destined to start from nothing and create an undying dynasty. He did it. The end."
3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. Mystery game By xteeve An interesting read. Mostly well done, but I felt some of the plot elements were forced, especially towards the end. A lot of mystery throughout, but at some point, one tires of this game of hide and seek with what's driving this story, and wants to know the rules of play. the reader is left in the dark throughout, although we have enough clues to venture some guesses at what's really going on. Unfortunately my curiosity waned. Others might enjoy this mystery game more.
