4 books in and I am no less excited for the next book in the series as I was for this one. These aren't books for everyone (there's far too much sexual content for that), but they're a great deal of fun to read and I only wish there were more out already so I wouldn't have to wait.
The polarising content aside, there are some issues that keep me from giving this book full marks in this review. I feel that the pacing in this book (and the last) has dropped quite significantly. This book maybe covers two days of time and I feel like it could have covered a lot more. All we needed was a few throwaway lines about time passing, people getting on with their work and jobs that were scheduled to take days getting accomplished, and time could be moving much quicker. Instead, it is starting to feel a little too much like a blow by blow recap of the characters' experiences rather than selectively picking out the important moments to tell a strong story.
Also, the book suffers fairly heavily with repetition. An example of this is Victor meeting up with the new tribe at the beginning of the book, finding out about the women there, then repeating that exact same information in full detail again to his own tribe later.
Overall though, these are small issues that I'm happy to overlook. The truth of the matter is that this isn't trying to be much more than a fun series and fun is exactly what they are. It's easy reading that rarely fails to bring a smile to my face, and I can't wait for book 4. -
Better and better every time!
This is one of the richest fantasy world's I have come across in a long time. Mr. Earle does a fantastic job of making the reader truly care about every character in the story. This ends on a tiny bit of a cliff hanger, although I know some authors who would have made it much worse... All in all 9.5 out of 10. -
More dinosaurs and women.
World: The world building is solid, it’s probably the best part of the book and the reason I keep coming back. I love the dinosaurs and the fights in the book are not scientifically correct but they are fun and this world tickles my love for Edgar Rice Burroughs.
Story: A continuation of the story, with more dinosaurs and more women. What I like I like more, what I cringe at is still here. At the end of the days this is a male wish fulfilment junk food book so I will enjoy it as such. I did like the expanding of the world and the removal of isolation that this book showed us.
Characters: The characters are alright. They are slowly getting depth but the depth is still pretty superficial.
A guilty pleasure junk food of a book.
Onward to the next book! -
Great Work
Time and again these small action serials provide entertainment and satisfaction (heh) in multiple ways. The action is always excellent, the setting sublime. The humor mixed with daily resource management minutiae. The mystery, the drama, and yes, the characters. The writing and editing is always top-notch too. The author has a real gift for spinning action yarns from almost any premise.
This book continues the fine tradition and is simply an awesome and fun read. Lots of new things going on, along a with a climactic ending that keeps you glued to the story. (As if any of the “Tamer” readers weren’t already glued to the story.) Highly recommended. -
Victor victorious!
Victor has come to an understanding with the tribe that they met near the ocean. They go home with much needed salt and obsidian and start working on their various projects again. But paradise is still not tamed and nothing is meant to go easily on this planet, especially not for Victor! I'm addition to all of his other worries he has soooo many women after him! 😂 Poor Victor, but you can be sure that nothing can keep him down! Great fun! -
New threat, New friends
Tamer and Star Justice are like a favorite TV show for me. Each episode are packed with familiar and new characters doing exciting things in interesting environments. The hard part is waiting for the next episode to come out. Tamer 4 didn't disappoint, ended well and left me looking forward to what comes next. -
Great Great Story
This is an action-packed interesting story of a simple guy abducted and sent to a dinosaur planet where all the other guys are jerks and dipsticks and the women all love him because he is kind thoughtful and takes care of them in a very dangerous environment. can’t wait for book four -
Awesome addition
Dinosaurs, women, survival. Pop culture references and puns. Funny, exciting and entertaining. Another great book from Michael Scott Earle. Now too look forward to book 5. -
Fun one in Dinosaur land!
I always enjoy the tamer stories. I like the idea of a tribal world which sort of combines the survival stories I read when I was younger - alongside the realities of adult hood.
This is a fun combination that happens to include dinosaurs. -
Tamer 4 was awesome!
Loved this book! MSE continued 4 where he left off of 3 and kept it rolling right along. This book has action, survival, dinosaurs and bad ass alien chicks. It was great! -
Tamer is the King
Such a fun read! A great combination of the details associated with survival and action. The relationships are a little too perfect, but absolutely entertaining.
The next book cannot come quick enough. -
Enjoyed this book a lot
A fine entry in the series. A quick enjoyable read. If you are a fan of the series you will find this a fulfilling next entry. Once again you must have read the other books to fully understand the story but fans of the series will enjoy it a lot. -
Fun read :)
I enjoyed this work. It was very entertaining and quite funny. The characters are a little bizarre in how they act, but it ends up being good for the story. I really love the dinosaurs! Read this! -
I was a little skeptical at the beginning of this series, but I'm a full fledged convert now! Very entertaining and each book has been better than the last. Highly recommended.
If you're enjoying Tamer I strongly recommend Michael-Scott's contemporary fiction series, RockGod. -
Great Series
To the Author, please publish installments 5-10 as soon as possible. I can’t wait. Also, tanks for putting the book number in the series displayed prominently.
To new readers, start with book, I can guarantee you will not be disappointed once you begin. -
So I just burned through Tamer books 1-4 and have decided to give them all one review so I'll just copy and paste this for all the books. On the upside, no spoilers since I'll I'll only be talking in generalities.
First, this is a "harem" book, which I know some people are sensitive about. I'm only sensitive about disrespectful portrayals of women and the women involved in this story are aliens so the author is perfectly able to justify the harem based on the women's alien backgrounds. Author also goes out of his way to emphasize the women's other competencies, like intelligence. Still woman after woman seeks admission into the harem and, over the course of four books, it gets a little bizarre and tedious. Personally it would have made more sense to me to have several of the women just not be interested in that type of relationship but so far none seem likely to abstain.
Second, the first couple of books, if memory serves (I did blow right through them) were more along the lines of travel journals. The significance of this this is that travel journals are all about the journey so a big climax isn't required. Books 3 & 4, while still taking the travel journal approach, end on cliff hangers. Books are not tv shows and a cliffhanger in a book either means the author lacks writing ability, wants to milk his readers for extra money or both. The travel journal approach lessens my outrage at such crappy authorship, enough so that I decided to stick with a 4 star rating, but I could definite see how someone would give these books lower ratings.
One of the things the author does well is spread mild humor through out his books. The MC can magically "tame" animals so when he tames a group of five, three male and two female, he names them Scooby, Shaggy, Fred, Velma and Daphne and allows the MC to latter quip about how someone didn't get away with something due to those darn kids, much to the confusion of his alien harem.
One thing that has both good and bad points is that this is a non-standard litRPG. The people aren't playing a game but aliens have given them a HUD that tells them their strength, etc. But no one knows the rules so no one is strategically leveling up. It gets pretty annoying to have the main character repeatedly say throughout four books that he doesn't even know how his tamer ability works. However, without that aspect the characters focus on day to day survival and so it gives the story a real "Swiss Family Robinson" vibe that I enjoyed.
Bottom line: This book won't be for everyone, even litRPG fans, but it is better than a lot in this genre. It is just too bad the author doesn't understand that books are not meant to have cliffhanger endings.
