A Broken Throne Book of One series 5 eBook Jordan Baker

Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed this book it's not a bad read; that being said, there are a few issues. First (and imo the biggest issue) is the development or lack thereof for Aaron. There is very little development for our protagonist in this book, and the parts written in his POV are almost painful to work through. He comes off a whining idiot that really needs to be smacked. I understand that the author may have been trying to set up a way for Aaron to perhaps have some sort of break through in his battle with the shadow in him, but, if that is what it was, it missed the mark. Next issue is that there are getting to be too many POVs for a book this short, it makes it feel a little choppy. This book probably needed to be twice as long to have properly explored all the POVs. I would sometimes feel like I was missing information even after going back an re-reading the previous books to reacquaint myself with the story. I hope the plot lines merge soon, the good news is that the events in this book make it a must for the next installment. Third the editing needs to improve, I know it is a nit-picky complaint but in some places it does detract from the readers enjoyment, I had to re-read many lines.

Now that I have gotten my complaints over with, it must be said this is despite my complaints this is a worth while addition to the series. The rest of the characters develop well and their POVs were a pleasure to read and in hindsight the over all plot moves along a little more than it first feels like it does. I'm a fan of the series and hope the next installment is out sooner than later and that Aaron is back to his likeable self.

A Broken Throne Book of One series 5 eBook Jordan Baker Reviews

OK I think im done. Im really just sick of it. If I had to read anymore more 'you don't know Ansari' I was going to throw my kindle across the room. That's just one example of a very frequent type of conversations between the characters where one asks questions get questions for answers and such. Nothing happens with Aaron. Yes that's a spoiler but I want it out there, this is the fifth book and not much has changed for him. The overall story also does not move toward the climax it only shift slightly to one side or the other.

I wont say I will never finish the series because I know what boredom can do to me but im taking this off my watch list. If you have been on the fence I would say just put the series down and walk away. If you enjoyed the previous books though you may like where it is going.
This installment in the series continues the spellbinding story. I can't wait to see how it all wraps up in the next/last book. Others have commented that the various story lines are too choppy, but I actually liked the effect of peeking in on someone we met a few chapters ago - or maybe even in the last book. They all have their part to play in the overall story, and you just know it will be a spectacular ending. You must start with the 1st book though, or you will not understand what is going on - the underlying connections between the many different characters. I definitely recommend the series.
I would like to start off with the fact that this is my second time reading this series. I thought it would be more enjoyable once I gave it some time. I was correct and incorrect at the same time.

I thoroughly enjoy the first 4 books in the series, but this is when certain things start becoming irritating. Aaron goes from being an excellent male character to becoming a whiney, emotional irritation. Jordan Baker's limits concerning the evolution of a male character becomes evident. However, it is extremely difficult for someone to properly write about the opposite sex; especially during the early years of adulthood.

As stated above, this is when this series starts to become frustrating to read, but I still give it 4 stars because it still snares my attention. Even though I know how it ends and how angry it made me I still cannot seem to stop.
As with many that have written reviews, I found the first two books in this series to be compelling. Characters were well defined, development was steady, and the plot stayed fresh and interesting. It was around book 3 or 4 that things started really going downhill. As with many, I perceived Aaron to be something of a main character in these novels, but it was very clear after the next several books that 1. the author did not actually enjoy writing about Aaron's story, and 2. she was more motivated by making this a series based on girl power and females triumphing over adversity than anything resembling a legitimate fantasy.

Good luck reading beyond book 2 if you don't care much about Ariana's story or dislike reading ten pages of teeth nashing on the part of Calexis every chapter or so and how she is not getting her due.

Books three through five have Aaron and crew doing almost nothing at all, and the entire contents of all such plot progression could have been worked into a few well written chapters of a single book. Incidentally, these would contain only the barest mention of the obfuscatory mess that the author has created with the Ansari "code". She apparently believes that the less you say about a topic, the wiser the speaker appears. She uses this many times among multiple cultures thoroughly the series, and it never works. Here's the rub - wise characters *eventually* need to actually pass on their wisdom (not just oblique references to existential dogma) in order to be considered truly wise.

Does this novel have it's strong points? Of course. Every book has some praiseworthy content. In this case it was primarily through the progression of the Cedric and Calexis plot and *finally* putting to bed the dragon subplot, but this is mostly buried beneath layers of bloat and unnecessary advancement of meaningless tangents. When I actually think for a moment and try to synopsize everything that happened to Aaron and his cadre over the last two whole books, it's truly mind numbing to think how little meaningful progress was made.

The other bone I have to pick with the author is with regard to making characters into gods. Not just making them *as* gods, but honest-to-goodness gods. I've seen this done in other novels, and it never works. First, it ruins a character forever, for what character development can be had with a god? Second, all other characters are now lesser since any positions they may have held are immediately invalidated by the right-by-definition positions of the new god. Lastly, they ruin good characters that have already been established and are loved by the reader. This last one is most evident in Mrs Jordan's series.

My recommendation would be to read the first two and stop there. They really are some great epic fantasy. It's just a shame they feel so far after that. It really appears that the author received some good criticism in the reviews. Hopefully she can take some of it to heart in the future.
Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed this book it's not a bad read; that being said, there are a few issues. First (and imo the biggest issue) is the development or lack thereof for Aaron.
