I realized that nobody else could have read these books as well as Andy because he can do every character’s voice, but nobody else can perform Gollum like him. Hearing Gollum come to life from this pages was an emotional rush that I was not expecting, and the performance is perfection.

You don’t need a review of the Lord of the Rings. These books are legendary. Andy does an incredible job with them, and you’ll really enjoy it.

I just finished listening to this book for the second time. It’s been about 5 years since I first enjoyed it. I remember it being excellent, but listening to it again simply reiterated what a masterful storyteller Brandon Sanderson is. He’s the absolute best in the fantasy genre, and these books will certainly stand out as his greatest achievement. Do not hesitate to buy as you’ll seldom find a better value than is held in these pages.

Each book is as full of adventure, action, and banter as you could ask for. At this point, it just feels like this series is always a safe bet. It’s also nice that the heroes never have an easy time with anything. It keeps the story going and the stakes high!

Consistent for Robertson. Gladdic is good now?

This book is pretty much in line with the other offerings from the author. I’m just here to say that I’m still not over the war atrocities committed by Gladdic several books ago. Are we just letting that go? What’s up with that?

The best follow up to the main trilogy

Simply put, this is a great stand alone story that also ties in some main characters of old. It’s a riveting and occasionally bizarre adventure, and you’ll thoroughly enjoy it.

Loved the characters. The plot moves at a great pace, keeping this one fun and engaging throughout. The world building knows it’s a hodgepodge of lots of different fantasy elements and doesn’t bother to try an put structure or limitations on it. That’s not what this story is about. Did I mention how great the characters are? This is a fantastic time. Enjoy.

This was my second time listening to the Riyria books after finishing the Age books. I had forgotten so much, and it was an absolute delight experiencing it all over again with the history now fresh in my head. These are a must read for any fans of fantasy series.

Not the most riveting Reacher book

Reacher is always a fun read, but this one plodded along a little slowly. I suppose if you really enjoy a slower burn thriller, this is probably not a problem. I don’t feel that Dick Hill was the right voice for Jack Reacher books. He does a fine job in his own right, but his voice isn’t right for the character or the energy of the stories. If your just churning through the series, you won’t be too bothered by the book on the whole. It does connect to previous books through Jack’s brother, so that’s probably of interest to the full series reader.

I had heard a lot of hype around Hyperion, so I was starting to get a little confused when I was most of the way through and still not enjoying it. I think my issue with this book are mostly centered around the structure. We take long breaks from the central narrative to tell these stories which are relevant to the story and interesting, but they don’t feel like they build to any kind of climax. As a result, the story just kind of fizzles in the end.

Speaking of the ending, it’s just a disappointment. The mystery set up by the book is just not resolved. I won’t spoil anything, but I will warn readers that if you need things to be resolved, you will be disappointed here.

The writing style is overly indulgent. The references to Keats and what would be ancient literary figures for these people doesn’t make sense to me, nor does it help make the plot work. If you’re somebody who has studied and can appreciate these particular references, then you might enjoy them. However I imagine most people might just feel apathetic if they don’t know the referenced works.

The overall final final product is an interesting story. I wish it got more involved with the compelling mystery it presents instead of waxing philosophical
