In my opinion, the lack of a main antagonist or an antagonist that hints at a main antagonist throughout the first 3 books clearly indicates that.

I remember reading a review of someone saying they were like survival notes, but I honestly just feel that wasn’t the case and that the author was just trying to find their footing. Comparing them to the 4th and 5th books I feel as if the author wasn’t quite sure what direction he wanted to take. Now that I have that all put out, if y’all wish to continue to read you may, but I just have a few things that I would like to put out there.Īfter reading now the first 5 books of this series, I’ll say that the first three are a bit cumbersome. It’s clear that this is Victors book and no one else’s. It’s very disappointing to find out that our main four characters that we had at the beginning of series have little interaction anymore. Whether or not she is a human, I do not know, but if she is I wouldn’t doubt it is probably a character that we were briefly introduced before Victor was taken in the first book.Įither way the book was very fun to read and I would dare say better then the 4th. There are clues of this that are indicated whenever she is mentioned. The antagonist is really being set up nicely, but for those of you who have no fear of spoilers my hunch is that this other leader might also be a Tamer like Victor. Later in the book, we start to find out more that the tribe to the north of them made up of many survivors and that is ruled by a fierce woman that the other survivors fear is playing a much more significant role in the series. Without going into too much detail, Tanen was tortured amongst other horrific things until Victor saved her. Getting back to the point though, Gee brings a new sense of danger with her abilities that are centered on fire, while Tanen brings a very new sense of disturbing danger that other survivors are capable of. However, at this point I’m more convinced that there aren’t any other main characters besides Victor due to how most of them play background roles. The two new characters Gee and Tanen, bring something new things to the table to the already long list of characters. We are introduced to 5 new dinos that Victor tames along the way, along with two new female characters.

Along Victors travels back to his tribe, he encounters much deadlier predators, such as Spinosaurus’s, and actually more deadly and ruthless survivors. The majority of the book is the fact that Victor is separated from his tribe and we get to see how long he has come from being, well not great at surviving, to now being a pro at it. This book I would say is on par with book 4 or even slightly better. I finished book 5 of the Tamer series and after some pondering here are my thoughts about the book.
