Lack of character development

Revisado: 07-20-24

I couldn’t believe in the female protagonist. I thought she was developing self reliance and maturity only to watch her fold up like a fan. The last quarter of the book was unbearable because of it.

Beautiful use of language

Revisado: 05-27-24

It’s fantastic to listen to a well read story that was carefully written and edited. The setting is gorgeous, the characters well developed, and the story interesting.

Brilliant storyteller!

Revisado: 02-16-24

The author has a magical way of creating female protagonists that deeply engage the reader—they are clever, insightful, and compassionate and human even when they are not. Embed them in an excellent story with perfect narration…what could be better?

Best adventure of 2023

Revisado: 01-16-24

These were characters I really enjoyed. They were richly drawn and developed naturally, strengthened by their adventures and relationships. The god problems were an excellent challenge, not simple or predictable. I thought the narrator did a great job giving voice to the characters and listening was a pleasure. Yes, I heard occasional breathlessness, but the narration was not lightweight or breathy. I sincerely hope the next book has the same narrator.

Excellent narration

Revisado: 01-05-24

Interesting mystery, likeable characters and a fine tortoise. Narration was excellent. The dementia-like meanderings of two of the main characters was sometimes a bit much.

Happy for the adventure with friends

Great prequel. Delighted to have the story stretch into the past since it’s a pleasure to spend any time at all in the company of this author’s characters. His narration is warm and transporting. A balm.

Unfortunate lack of development

Revisado: 10-14-23

Although the story is structured to illustrate great personal change, the characters and their relationships didn’t seem to mature. This might be due in part to the narrator whose reading of the main character made her sound childish from beginning to end. The lack of depth made it a bit boring despite several good ingredients.

Great action story with excellent narrator

Revisado: 09-02-23

Somehow the author of this superhero story has made the characters, and their dialogue, more real than those in non-sci-fi novels. Fun and engaging with great narration. And I do love an author whose character can say the work “butch” with all the affection it deserves!

Loved the narrator!!!

Revisado: 07-17-23

The narrator’s voice for this production is the smoky, firm, quiet voice that is perfect for the protagonist.
The story is so well grounded in the place that I swear I could find my way from town to town and I’d recognize the scenery. If you weren’t there in this moment of history, you could walk away from this story with a feel for it, as well as empathy and respect for the Indian children and their families who were forcibly separated from each other.
