Review of The Middle Reaches (Episodes 1-8)

[Following is a volunteer review of "The Middle Reaches (Episodes 1-8)" by L. Andrew Cooper.]
The Middle Reaches (Episodes 1–8), by L. Andrew Cooper. It is a fantasy and horror series that is available on Kindle Vella. It consists of 47 episodes so far because it is still broadcast; fortunately, you can get episodes 1–8 for free by cashing in a certain amount of tokens that the application gives you.
This is a story that is described and takes place in a disturbing place where time seems eternal and nature behaves in strange ways. Ten (10) years ago, Nick, Sheldon and his friends set out to one day visit The Middle Reaches to experience new adventures. That day, unexpected events occurred; strange things happened. The landscape changed. Everything became a nightmare. So finally, one of them never returned.
The story begins 10 years after visiting The Middle Reaches with a memory of Nick presented as a recurring nightmare. Next, Nick's friends meet for a reunion after having gone 10 years without visiting that place and talk about that day when many things happened that had no explanation, and Sheldon also disappeared.
It is an unconventional reading, very interesting and has many nuances that are explained as the plot progresses. I really liked the fact that each character narrates the events from their point of view. I also liked that data was added so that the reader could create their own idea of what really happened. And I love it even more that in the first few chapters, you're still not sure if everything they remember happened or not.
The book is very well written, described and set, so much so that you can share the emotions and sensations of the characters as the story unfolds. There is a scene in which something stings and gnaws at one of the characters, eating away at his skin. The author describes everything so neatly that I also felt like my body was itching, just as he described it in the series.
I don't have anything negative to mention. I just have to warn that it is a story with content that may be considered grotesque for many people. Before starting the series, the author shares an appropriate warning about the type of content that contains violence and graphic sexual content, as well as profanity. I recommend it for all those people of legal age who enjoy horror content with an erotic/supernatural tendency. For anyone who is uncomfortable with what is described above, I recommend that you refrain from reading this.
I'm happy to report that I did rate episodes 1–8 of this series 5 out of 5 stars. This book is exceptionally well edited. I was unable to detect any errors. This story has much more to unravel and various versions of events to delve into. Especially Nick, who seems to be possessed by the memory of his friend Sheldon and his strange way of thinking.

A book where the author can perfectly describe emotions is worth a read. I'm fine with grotesque; the only problem is that I'm not really familiar with Kindle Vella.
hahah Thank you for reading it.
