Great Space Opera

good characters and a compelling story, I always wanted to find out what would happen next. The performance was a little stiff but serviceable.

A Strong Outing
Revisado: 11-13-22
A stronger entry than the first novela in the series this book fleshes out a lot of what the other book doesn't while leaving plenty of lead-ins for future books.
Strong performances by the two readers though I'm not really sure they are needed as the book is not really split evenly among mail and female character perspectives and the differences in how they read the same characters can be jolting when experiencing them back-to-back.
If you enjoyed the Mistborn series you might enjoy this book and it's predecessor, though not as strong an outing Daniel B. Greene has skills as a clearly well read new author and I have no doubt that he will grow and hone those skills over time.

An Excellent Read
Revisado: 03-27-22
This book was a real treat as someone who grew up in Maine and went to college in Massachusetts! An extremely witty book, had some good slow chuckles and laugh-out-loud moments.

An Excellent Book for Lovers of Hidden Treasure
Revisado: 07-17-21
This book is full of small stories about the hidden or lost stories about the mundane and everyday structures and designs in the places we live.
If you are a fan of history, design, architecture, or overlooked wonder in the world around you then you will like this book. It is read by Roman Mars, one of the authors and host of the 99% Invisible podcast, and he does a great job as usual and the structure of the book makes it great as a book to absorb in little chunks, it's a good book to read while reading other books.

Good Star Wars
Revisado: 01-30-21
A good Star Wars story with well performed narration. So far this seems like a great intro to the High Republic era for anyone looking for something new to dig into.

Historia
The DFZ, the metropolis formerly known as Detroit, is the world’s most magical city with a population of nine million and zero public safety laws. That’s a lot of mages, cybernetically enhanced chrome heads, and mythical beasties who die, get into debt, and otherwise fail to pay their rent. When they can’t pay their bills, their stuff gets sold to the highest bidder. That’s when they call me. I’m a Cleaner: a freelance mage employed by the DFZ to sort through the mountains of magical junk people leave behind. It’s not a pretty job, or a safe one....

A Pleasant Surprise
Revisado: 01-08-21
I picked this up on sale and was very pleasantly surprised, the setting and characters of this book were very fun and compelling, a mix of cyberpunk and magical urban fantasy that works well in a familiar but original way. The narrative performance of Emily Woo Zeller gave the story an appropriate "I just work here" tone and it worked so well. While the length worked for the story I did feel like it could have been longer, but as I was finishing this book I picked up the other two in the series and was pleased to see they were both a bit longer.

A Compelling Read
Revisado: 01-02-21
Great narration, strong characters, a little light on plot but one I couldn't stop listening to and ended up purchasing the other books in the trilogy before I even finished it.

Historia
There's a reason We Are Legion was named Audible's Best Science Fiction Book of 2016: Its irresistibly irreverent wit! Bob Johansson has just sold his software company for a small fortune and is looking forward to a life of leisure. The first item on his to-do list: Spending his newfound windfall. On an urge to splurge, he signs up to have his head cryogenically preserved in case of death. Then he gets himself killed crossing the street. Waking up 117 years later, Bob discovers his mind has been uploaded into a sentient space probe with the ability to replicate itself.
