Joseph

Worth the wait

Revisado: 10-09-24

I’ve been anticipating this book for a while and it delivered. The skippy and Joe banter is top notch. As much as I love these books RC Bray is what really sells them. His performance is spectacular. I think he really enjoys playing skippy lol. But yeah, if you are a fan of this series this is one of the best.

One of the best halo books

Revisado: 09-03-24

I don’t care for the narrator. The way he talks sounds like he’s trying to make everything more dramatic than it is. But the story is easiest one of the best I’ve listened to. It starting out as a murder mystery was a nice change from the others set in war. Veta Lopis is a great addition to the universe, I can’t wait to read more about her. The Spartans were awesome, of course, and it was neat to see Fred in a leadership role. Add in a little bit of forerunner tech and that’s a damn good halo book. Easy 9/10 book.

Maybe I just don’t get it

Revisado: 01-13-24

This was my first journey into the world of Warhammer and I hate that I dont like it. I went in expecting hard sci-fi but this could have easily been set in medieval Europe. A lot of talk of oaths and honor and gods but in space ships with power armor. The author spends a great deal of time overly describing what’s going on with, at times, excessively grandiose language. “The precision bullet ricocheted off his crimson cremate armor like a pebble tossed by a child’s hand” type stuff. As Peter Griffin would say “it insists upon itself.” I don’t know if it’s his style or what but it’s not for me. The narrator does a fantastic job though.

Not quite as good as the first 2

Revisado: 06-02-23

It’s still quite good even if it’s not as good as the others. The story is a little slower paced with multiple different POVs which is a change from the first 2. Things are starting to get a little repetitive with the all powerful ai that can do literally anything but it’s still a good story with some great humor sprinkled in. I’m hooked on this series and expect to finish the rest, this one just didn’t hit quite the same with me. The performance is still top notch. The narrator is able to use different voices without sounding weird or forced and has a very nice pace. Very easy to listen to.

I kinda wish someone would pick this up as a tv series. I’ve noticed many of the event are arranged in a way that would very easily translate into an episodic tv series. Here’s to hoping lol

Borderline perfect

Revisado: 05-24-23

The only reason this book doesn’t get 5 stars from me is because of a very minor nitpick. As this book as written as a narration by the main character some of the details have to be hand waved and summarized in a way that can be jarring at times but seeing how the narrator is an army Sargent it sort of makes sense. Otherwise this is a fantastic book. The author sets up a great universe, great characters. It’s great sci-fi that doesn’t get overly technical (aka boring) with the details. There were many parts where I actually laughed out loud while listening. I picked up the second book immediately after finishing. Would highly recommend.
