Outstanding story

Revisado: 12-20-24

But I wanted to scream after the epilogue.

“Chunk, you %!&$ idiot.”

In all seriousness. Andrews and Wilson have an amazing writing synergy. I can’t recommend them enough. Their storyline is always compelling and keeps me on edge.

Ray Porter’s performance was another exemplary narration.

Not all is what it seems in Farise

It has layers...
Like an onion...

Seriously, I’ve enjoyed every book in the spellmonger series so far, and this one is now one of my fav’s.

Mark Greeney hates his protagonist

Revisado: 08-30-24

Thats how it felt anyway. Don't misunderstand, I love the story, the intense pace and the interesting characters. However, I genuinely felt bad for Duff. It was like the author said, "How can I make this as hard as possible for him?"


It worked out because Duff steps up to each challenge. At one point, I walked away from the book, upset, only to return later.

I didn't know at the time he is the same author who wrote the Grey Man series. It's a series I'm far more interested in now.

Wilson and Andrews deliver another winner

Revisado: 08-01-23

I started the book a little skeptical if they could write a compelling novel outside their usual genre. By halfway, I was as engrossed in the story as their others novels. Characters come to life as they struggle with the ethics of AI with the same moral dilemas many of us have when the subject inevitably arises. No matter where you stand on the subject, you will find yourself rooting for Val as she tackles hurdle after hurdle in a very fast paced thriller.

I love Andrews and Wilson, but not this story.

Revisado: 04-29-23

I absolutely LOVE their tier one and Dempsey series. This is a story about light vs dark and I understand there should be spiritual component but the constant references to God, prayer, church and faith isn't for me. They tried to make it non-denominational which is a plus. Setting my preference aside, if you don't mind it, then the story is compelling and thought provoking. The narration is excellent in my opinion. I can't give these guys anything less than 3 stars, despite my opinion. They're a fantastic writing team and I'll happily continue purchasing their books.

Predictable

Revisado: 02-09-23

I love Patterson. He's a literary icon worthy of all his accolades. Therefore his exemplary track record will survive one negative review.

I found the plot predictable and the main character annoying with his frantic responses to nearly every situation. The plot idea is good, but I felt it needed to be fleshed out more and less rushed.

I'm not partial to full-cast readings because I feel the sound effects replace scene descriptions. Meaning, at various times, I needed to backtrack and figure out what it tried to convey. I kept asking myself, "What did I just hear?" Not all full-cast readings can be like Sandman.

I'm sorry, I'm still a fan of James Patterson, just not this book.

Insightful

Revisado: 11-25-22

It's interesting to hear an educated point of view regarding the war. At the time of my listening, it's raged on for eight months with no end in sight. Since the history between the regions is so complicated, a single one hour episode is far too inadequate. I would like to hear more.

Exemplary Work!

Revisado: 08-31-22

Westerns aren't normally my preferred genre but this book hooked me. Each fight scene was gripping and well written. The story itself is far from predictable and the characters felt deep and thought out. What's more, is the superb narration of Roger Clark's rich gravelly voice made it feel that much more real.

Loved the series but...

Revisado: 10-21-20

I'm not sure if this series was intended to be three books. However, it felt to me the ending was rushed. Loved the series and wished it would have extended several more books.

Never disappoints

Revisado: 07-27-20

By the time I listen to this many books in a series I will generally notice a decrease in the quality of the story. I'm happy to report he not only keeps it up but continues to enrich his story with foreshadowing that is sometimes several books ahead. If you have listened to this many books so far then odds are you don't read the reviews. Assuming you are one of the individuals who does, then rest assured your decision to read Thaumaturge is well founded. Enjoy! I certainly did.
