"And all of this of the cost of humanity" - not much of price, honestly. Well let's see. I come here for the name and synopsis. And was hoping to see something unique... Strong word. Interesting at least. And hey, casting away humanity and becoming a ghost - is definitely something intresting, right? ... ..... ....... It's doesn't change anything. Apparently, not his perspective of life, nor his character - nothing changes when you switch you race to something so vastly different to normal humans. You just got a fancy abilities. Yeah, right. And story itself looking generic so as mc character. Well,sayonara.

COMMEHey, I just wanted to say that maybe your expectations this time were too high, imagining yourself as a different race with their same mentality is NIGH-impossible(it is only possible if you're born with certain mental conditions that disable certain emotions). Try this, imagine having a 6th sense... Nothing, right? Also, I'm not talking about the 6th sense of COD, if you thought that was counted, frick right off. So you can't imagine how it feels to have a 6th sense, right? Well that's just one sense, imagine having to put yourself in a POV of another race with human/+ intelligence, it's MANY times harder than trying to imagine a 6th sense. So unless author is incapable of feeling love, fear and hate, it's useless to try and write a book of changing races and switching psychology, ER, instincts, etc... Your review is 100000% true tho, just thought I had to tell you to not place such high standards on these type of books.
You are partly right. I mean in a sense we can't understand what such a deep changes could do to a person mentality - that's correct. But we are talking about books when writers have a freedom to at least imagine what race changes could do to a person - if he try, That is. Unfortunately, he doesn't even tried. I don't blame him, but as I said. I just wanted to see something different, something interesting. But oh well, that's just my tastes. I think those topics are more interesting and at least worth of trying to explore.
