3 Stars. Barely. Evidently, I just read my least favorite Orphan X novel. This one didn’t hit the spot. It was incomplete. It wasn’t nearly as fun as I have come to expect. Just disappointing. Sometimes, we/I expect way too much from our favorite authors and characters. This was one of those times. Mr. Hurwitz, I’m ready for the next one.

I thought this book was fine but it seemed short and unlike pretty much all of the other Orphan X books it seemed to only feature one problem for the protagonist to face instead of the two that form into one. It had all of the elegant writing that Greg Hurwitz executes in all of his books but the story just felt like it was missing something.

I have read all the orphan X books and this is my least favorite.

Loved every one thus far, but this one seemed thin with feeble adversaries. High marks for relationship dialogue, low ones for the action, and the arch villain was anything but.

Quickly descends into cartoonish silliness with respect to both plot and character development. A sadly overwrought contortion of Hurwitz’s prior books.

Couldn’t put it down.

Really weak. Boring. The villain was ridiculous. The long morality debates are tiresome. The woke influences are disappointing.

good. Great fun. My thanks Mr. Hurwitz.

Certainly not one of the better ones. Overall the book was disappointing.

Enjoyed the book, esp the dialogue between Evan and Joey. Exciting, emotional, tough and funny. I couldn’t give it five stars cuz it dint finish everything. I assume, at least hope, we get more of the story in the next book.
