Review: Decent writing, dark story
Rating: 3 out of 5

While the author did a great job with Hammer's dark hero / antihero nature, the difference between Hammer and the supporting characters seems overly complicated. Hammer begins with a bit of a desire to protect the weak, yet kills a number of individuals without remorse and in unnecessarily graphic ways. The individuals may have deserved the treatment, but the manner seemed abrupt rather than insightful to Hammer's character.Hammer's actions cause other characters to think of him as a psychopath while Hammer seems to only want to get along quietly. I found the confusion between his inner monologue and his actions a bit distracting. I gave the story three stars due to the combination of the twists and some of the unnecessary fight scenes. Overall, the story entertained but the distractions kept breaking the flow of the narrative.
