Game On By R. E. Rowe
The beginning was exciting and cool, but it got a little stuck at the half way point.
The first half of the story felt like the beginning story arc.
At that point I was disappointed, because it was a cool story and I wanted it to be great.
BUT then it kicked into high gear and it was really great.
So Jayden, Parker and Nora got kidnaped to fight in a intergalactic war.
They escape and rightly so.
There is a war and lives are at stake, Earth is at stake. So the group that is fighting
to right the wrongs takes them in.
But my problem is this,
Jayden, Parker and Nora want to lie and steal from them because it's
Jayden, Parker and Nora want to lie and steal from them because it's
"not their fight" even though Earth is in danger and they can be vital to stopping this war.
This is where I thought the story had just gotten tired.
I was having trouble because I couldn't get behind the main characters anymore,
or so I thought.
or so I thought.
Long story short (and minus spoilers) big stuff happens and they realized
that it was kind of selfish and they jump in and save the day, many times.
Jayden is a great leader, but he doesn't quite know it yet.
In the heat of battle he just naturally takes the position, but out of battle?
He tosses that position off.
He doesn't want to be a leader (He really does, he doesn't know it yet)
He doesn't want to be a leader (He really does, he doesn't know it yet)
but after that big WHAM he claims it 100%
It was pretty cool.
The thing that really bugged me throughout the story was that it wasn't always defined.
Something would happen, but I wasn't sure what.
Also I wish was that some of the characters were better defined.
it was a limbo of liking and not liking them.
I had trouble telling if a character was bad or not, it was a little confusing at times
This wasn't a huge problem, if I got lost I for the most part could read a little further and
I could piece it together.
So, Yeah. I recommend it.
It's fun and cool, some space stories can be cheesy but Game On wasn't at all.
It was an adventure for sure.
.
I give Game On, By R. E. Rowe four stars.
