Book Review: The Tides of Retribution by Steven Bissett | The Earthborn Saga Vol IV

Review: 

This book highlights all the characters, and I feel like Hunt takes a step back to let them shine.

The moments between our OG crew and other characters they meet are wonderful, especially the playful or fun ones. Tense moments are well done, and the creativity stays consistent with the rest of the series so far. I found my jaw dropping at plot twists, and I was on the edge of my seat for the fight scenes. I've realized I'm the kind of person to enjoy one-on-one fighting over dogfights, but that's on me, and not the book. The dogfights scenes are well done, I just prefer/enjoy the melee combat moments.

Above all, I loved this book. It's on par with the third book, in my opinion, and it feels like it's setting up a lot of stuff without dragging. I love, love, love the revelation about the Devourers and what they're doing with those they take prisoner. It's super cool and unique.

On to book 5!
