Bagheera & Tigress Swap

Reviewed: 03-18-21

I'm sure its been noted somewhere but I literally had to stop listening to the book for a minute to get this off my mind. I was completely distracted from the story when Max's old pet and pall showed up in the middle of a battle to help. Not because of their appearance, but due to the fact that the two cats had now swapped identities!

When Max first made Bagheera, he was a zombie panther, who then went perma. When Bagheera left Max, it was to walk off with the black sabertooth like boss monster in the forgotten city temple in the Asian cluster. He ended up calling the boss Tigress in their parting, later remarking on his naming her possibly granting her perma status as well.

Now here we are with the pets again and Max is calling Tigress his old pet, as she jumps around using Bagheera's old abilities, and calling Bagheera the former boss mob. It was so jarring, like walking into your parents house only for them to act like your mom and dad had switched rolls.

I know this is more of a rant than anything, but I hope there is either an explanation in the later books or this huge editing error is somehow amended.

Still really enjoy the series.
