Even better than the first

Revisado: 11-05-24

The first book was good. Good enough to get me to buy the second. The second book made me a fan. Rich storytelling, and it feels like we’ve only seen the tip of the iceberg. Would recommend and buy the author’s next book.

Excited for the sequel

Revisado: 07-20-24

This is a rare example of where another hour of world building, sprinkled in throughout, would have been welcomed. Usually, info dumping is taxing, but I am extremely interested in learning more of the lore surrounding this world and its history. That is a testimony to the creativity the author has displayed.

Particularly, in regard to examples of dragons and magics that were name dropped, but not delved into.

Interesting plot, good pacing and engaging characters. I have already bought the pre-order of the sequel, now we wait to see if my questions are answered.

A fair stand alone for your library

Revisado: 03-10-24

It took me a while to finish this book but I’m glad I did. There was a nice fantasy plot twist that made it a lot more interesting. The ending was also fairly satisfying, even if it was not the happiest ever after.

Sometimes, I had to re-listen to certain sections because the scene, or settings, changed suddenly, either due to progression, a flash back, or magical circumstances, with little notice.

Add this to your shelf.

Voice actor was amazing

Revisado: 03-07-24

Highly recommend this book. The writing was very good, that is to say it weaved a complex story that spanned across light years and decades. I wish certain parts had the same depth of detail as others, but I followed along and enjoyed the ride.

Best in the series

Revisado: 02-27-24

I highly recommend this book. It is a great way to end the series and the very least scene is cherry on top. High praise for the world building, narration and conclusion of this saga.

Fascinating History

Revisado: 02-11-24

I learned a lot from this book. The author put a tremendous amount of effort into the research, but no one is perfect, and accounts are given from one or two perspectives, and occasionally more information is provided to fill out a “30,000ft view of these complex events that shaped our world’s history.”

The narration was smooth, but lacked inflection at some points where the story should have been very gripping, given the subject. Not bad, but very NPR in tone.

Highly recommend this book.

Almost won me over

Revisado: 12-27-23

**Spoiler free review**

Not a bad book, but it was so close to being great. Didn’t spend enough time on the aspects I thought were the best parts. Also, right when it felt like it was really getting good… it ends.

For a stand alone, it certainly leaves a lot of loose ends and unexplored territory that had potential.

A few tweaks (and another chapter or three of resolution) could have made this a 4 or 5 star review.

Also, the narrator tends to make a meal of lines in the slower parts, thus delaying the return to the best bits.

I’m still going to buy the physical copy for my bookshelf, so I would recommend this book to certain friends, with the advice to wait for the big thing to happen. That’s where it starts to really get interesting.

Fantastic sequel

Revisado: 12-10-23

This follow up does the first book justice as the second installment delivers. It capitalizes on the successes of the first book while adding new characters, and adding new layers to our protagonist. Highly recommend.

A wonderful novella

Revisado: 12-07-23

On a personal note, this book was exactly what I needed on a bad day. The narration was amazing, combined with the immersive story, I was transported to this far off planet.

As a shorter story, you don’t get a lot of the world building and background info you might get with other sci fi books, but the main character is personable enough for you to suspend your disbelief.

Highly recommend this book, and I’m about to start the second.

Feels good to be back

Revisado: 11-15-23

This book gives me a lot of hope for the 3rd book. The best compliments I can give are: I wish it was longer, I was enjoying it too much when it abruptly ended. Secondly, I made many notes and clips in this for it being so short.

I highly recommend this to any fan of the series. Narration was amazing.
