Hey all I’m back with another Bookish Wednesday. It’s Jake’s Magical Market by J.R. Mathews!
Plot: The plot starts off pretty solidly, the end of the world occurs when everything is shifted around and suddenly monsters and magic is a thing. Sadly the plot starts to go rapidly downhill about the second time Jake leaves his town. I won’t spoil it any further than that, but seriously what started off on a decent enough premise quickly becomes a pile of utter garbage very, very fast. I’ll admit I stopped not too far after that point because I grew very disgusted with the entire plot. After all the store Jake runs quickly becomes a non-factor at all.
Characters: The cast is pretty threadbare, and honestly Jake is a dumbass. He starts off nice enough, but then commits stupid acts constantly as the story goes on.
Overall: Skip this book, it’s honestly not that good.
For those who like: Mediocrity, Really Bad Plots.
