Historia
It’s 1984, and life has changed beyond recognition. Airstrip One, formerly known as Great Britain, is a place where Big Brother is always watching, and nobody can hide. Except, perhaps, for Winston Smith. Whilst working at the Ministry of Truth, rewriting history, he secretly dreams of freedom. And in a world where love and sex are forbidden, where it’s hard to distinguish between friend and foe, he meets Julia and O’Brien and vows to rebel.

Dramatization of Classic Pros and Cons
Revisado: 02-21-25
Pros:
I was having trouble reading this between the writing, the weird typesetting on the copy I have, and life, but thanks to this I am through it.
Voice Acting is nice.
Audible Plus Catalog so this was a no additional cost option for me.
Story is insanely timely.
Cons:
Story is insanely timely.
Some of the audio effects are so.very.loud.
If you prefer a non dramatized version, this is not the one for you.

Cute low stress cozy story
Revisado: 12-18-24
Anxiety riddled magical talking plants? Yes please!
Cute low-stress story that I needed when I needed it. I will say I had to start this one over twice early on because I wasn’t paying enough attention to know what was going on.
Meep!

Historia
From her attic in the Arizona mountains, thirty-four-year-old Myra Malone blogs about a dollhouse mansion that captivates thousands of readers worldwide. Myra’s stories have created legions of fans who breathlessly await every blog post, trade photographs of Mansion-modeled rooms, and swap theories about the enigmatic and reclusive author. Myra herself is tethered to the Mansion by mysteries she can’t understand—rooms that appear and disappear overnight, music that plays in its corridors.

Story for the sake of story
Revisado: 05-16-24
Lately I have noticed a trend of people reviewing stories like this low simply because it is just a story.
It is well written, the narration is nice, but there isn’t action or heavy romance or whatever. That is okay. It is a low requirements read for a reader/listener that just wants to pass the time with something nice.
Books can be that way and not be bad. This is one of those books.

I haven’t been quite so mad at the end of a book in forever. I have to listen to the last book in the series just to see if this story arc gets redeemed but honestly, I hate everyone in this book at this point. Everyone.

Historia
The Banished Lands has a violent past where armies of men and giants clashed in battle, but now giants are seen, the stones weep blood, and giant wyrms are stirring. Those who can still read the signs see a threat far greater than the ancient wars. For if the Black Sun gains ascendancy, mankind's hopes and dreams will fall to dust....

Narrator is amazing
Revisado: 01-23-24
The story really took a long time to hold my interest. I think partly because so many of the names are so similar it takes a while to keep them straight.
Book ends on cliffhanger (ish) but in this case I don’t mind. If it had not, I am not 100% sure I would have continued to book two. I am continuing to book two though so…

Interesting world
Revisado: 01-05-24
Pros: I overall like the characters despite their faults. The story has so many sub stories that it makes me pay attention. I can skip ahead 30seconds at a time when I don’t like what is going on.
Con: ‘balls deep’ immediately makes me want to puke. It is not sexy - well- ever. If it is for you great, but for me it made me turn the story off for a good few hours. There are just better ways friends. Gag. Is my age showing? Maybe.

Historia
Among the ashes of a dying world, an agent of the Commandment finds a letter. It reads: Burn before reading. Thus begins an unlikely correspondence between two rival agents hellbent on securing the best possible future for their warring factions. Now, what began as a taunt, a battlefield boast, becomes something more. Something epic. Something romantic. Something that could change the past and the future. Except the discovery of their bond would mean the death of each of them. There’s still a war going on, after all. And someone has to win. That’s how war works, right?

Beautiful writing with great narration
Revisado: 11-29-23
If you are enjoy just listening to beautifully written abstraction with a general story flow, this is the book for you. Do I pretend I understood all of it? Nope. Did it require a focused attention to attempt to understand a lot of it? Yes. Would I read a second one? No. I can appreciate it for its beauty though.

Historia
Gretch Wolgast is a bit of a dud. Just ask her. She’s a 21-year-old college dropout who has a loser job at the mall. Sure, she can lift a tennis ball with her telekinetic powers. But only three feet in the air. And she has to be sitting. Gretch is an OP, one of thousands born in Orlando, Florida, in the early 1980s who mysteriously developed the ability to move things with their minds. Unfortunately, she turned out to be the weakest of the bunch. Now, Gretch’s life is being turned upside down. She witnesses a murder and discovers a wide-ranging conspiracy.

Fun story and narration. Entertaining but the song at the end. No. Luckily you can skip through it.

I always expect a little less from the Audible Plus items. I have frequently found them flat. This story was interesting and the narrator was nice. I appreciated that she did not try to ‘do’ male voices for the male characters, though at first it caught me off guard.
Great Audible Plus family mystery/family relationship read!

Twenty-year-old Violet Sorrengail was supposed to enter the Scribe Quadrant, living a quiet life among books and history. Now, the commanding general—also known as her tough-as-talons mother—has ordered Violet to join the hundreds of candidates striving to become the elite of Navarre: dragon riders. But when you’re smaller than everyone else and your body is brittle, death is only a heartbeat away...because dragons don’t bond to “fragile” humans. They incinerate them.

Loved the story
Revisado: 10-24-23
Loved the story and narration. Narrator reminds me of the Astrid (America Fererra) from How to Train Your Dragon and I think she just sounds young.
I would have given the book 5 stars if the sex scenes had been written well and in a way that moved the story forward. I have books that have done this so it is possible. In this story you could take those scenes out and lose nothing from the story but some explicit scenes not written nearly as well as the rest of the book.
I will definitely be picking up the next book and look forward to seeing this author grow with her story.
