Redemption (Ryan Drake, Book 1) by Will Jordan
The Drinker Recommends... 🥃👍
When I heard The Critical Drinker was also a published author, I was very skeptical and even more curious 🤔. But WOW, he doesn’t just talk the talk, he walks the walk.
Now-a-days when you hear "strong female character" you just want to role your eyes 🙄, but Jordan achieves it with flying colors simply by not making her a Mary Sue. Anya's story is grounded and believable, filled with hardship and setbacks, making her triumphs satisfying and earned. Nothing is ever handed to her, and nothing ever happens by coincidence. Her character makes sense within the context of the story and is an integral driving force of it.
But it's not just Anya, every character is fleshed out in just the right amount: telling you what you needed to know when you need to know it, and not telling you what you don't. All while advancing the story in the process and not getting bogged down in exposition.
With great pacing, great action, and great characters, Redemption is an amazing opening to a series. 👌
