So much Potential, So little effort.

Revisado: 06-24-21

The world has very interesting premise, but nothing is ever done with it.
The Main and supporting characters are shallow and one dimensional.
The Story itself goes nowhere, It's basically a detective story but the main character does very little detecting and the end "twist" is so obvious it is not even funny.

The narration is a bit stilted, but not terrible.

So much could have been done with the world being created here but just a forgettable world and forgettable characters.

Hidden political overtones

Revisado: 05-23-21

It started out good with a slightly Amateurish feel. But I gave it a pass because I didn't expect a great epic story any way.
None of the characters really grabbed me bit they were not bad either. The main character really did not have good motivations and the anti hero idea is great but needed to be explored so much more.
Then I hit the second part.
Storyline became more about who had slept with who and what gender they were. The main character becomes a full on feminist and the main story just goes into the background. Then the politics starts.
I had to put it down at that point. I get enough of that on the news.

So much potential in the story, but so much is never realized.

Good for Younger Readers

Revisado: 08-01-13

Is there anything you would change about this book?

Although the book is written well and narrated well, the characters are all stuck in a state of adolescence. Granted, the two main characters are in early adult hood (18/21). The spend most of their time either whining about things being unfair or trying to ignore the reality of their situations. This would not be a problem it they actually matured throughout the story but they do not. Lastly, the supporting characters are all just ash one dimensional and immature, be it in different ways.

What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting?

Unfortunately, there is not particularly interesting item of note. No unique concept or enemies. Everything is rather standard, or at least written by someone who has only a passing knowledge of the subject. Basically, no real explanations of things.

Have you listened to any of David Bodtcher’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Performance was good.

Was The Galactic Mage (Volume 1) worth the listening time?

Unfortunately no, after a while I found the immaturity and general attitude of the main characters annoying. I was actually unable to make it to the end.
