I said of the first book, I do think it could be 10% better if it was 10% shorter. Unfortunately this one take that even furhter. Now at least every third paragraph feels like it's just repetition that adds nothing. So it could easily be 40% shorter and might be 50% better for it, I'll still give it 3 stars but it's close to a 2.

Aspiring fantasy author and geek working on a series under the subtitle "Nothing is Everything". That's the only interesting thing I can think of, but there is always the seldom used option of asking :)
Mastodon: geekdom.social/@NickEast Read my story at: reamstories.com/huom The Last Philosopher is a satirical high-fantasy story with heavy-handed attempts at humour. It revolves around the world of Huom and some of its quirkier inhabitants. It’s the first book under the subtitle, Nothing is Everything. It's been called imaginative, funny, and unique. People have even gone so far as to compare it to Douglas Adams and Terry Pratchett. My response to that comparison, is to go hide under the covers for a week with embarrassment.

Near the end at the part with the priest, I wonder if the point is to illustrate that choosing religion is to choose death over life? As in choosing to say that the end of your life is more important than how you live your life?
