Tribe by Jeremy Robinson
Tribe by Jeremy Robinson
I was really blown away by Jeremy Robinson’s book, NPC, so it was with eager anticipation that I started Tribe. Unfortunately, this novel never caught my attention the way the first book did. I started it in audiobook six different times before I finally decided to finish it. The plot is one that appears every once in a while. The best known of the recent books is probably the Percy Jackson series. Gods exist and they occasionally have children and this is about what happens to them. I will risk a spoiler by saying it isn’t very nice. The big bad guy gives new definition to the word “insane” and so do most of his children and his followers.
About the best thing I can say about the book is there is a ton of action—so much so that the words “too much” might legitimately be used. Fight scenes roll on chapter after chapter. The action is well depicted and interesting, but it didn’t totally make up for a storyline of youngsters discovering their godhood through enduring terrible stresses.
Overall, I’m glad I read the novel, but it’s certainly no NPC.
