Review Detail of Fantasii in Marvel: Dishonored

Interesting premise, poor execution I’m currently 5 chapters in and having a real hard time seeing how this novel has such high praises. The author clearly doesn’t put much thought into his main character’s actions and he feels dull. I feel like I’m reading some cookie cutter novel. The plot of the novel is lacking depth of thought in many instances. Why would the main protagonist be put under his brothers command? How does he go from saving Hawkeyes family in a hostage situation to being deployed in Afghanistan? Why would you marry and have kids with the woman your brother proposed to? Why are there hand grenades inside a prison? No seriously, WHY ARE THERE EXPLOSIVES INSIDE A PRISON??? Another issue with this novel is that it struggles not being edgy. I don’t know if the author is trying to make his protagonist seem cool, but I don’t think a guard in a prison is in on your brother’s revenge plot against you. Speaking of revenge plots, does our protagonist even have one? It seems like he doesn’t even think for himself half the time. He literally gets to talk to his family in whatever afterlife their in and they get maybe half a paragraph of writing? Very little emotional impact. Overall I’m disappointed by this novel so far. I hope that it improves later on and if it does I’ll update this review with something I like other than the protagonist’s powers.
