I'm giving up on this author

Revisado: 06-13-22

more religious bs disguised as science fiction. Characters are awful, not believable at all. Spoiler***** The "machine" is God. yup the big climax is....God is testing a man named Abraham just like the biblical Abraham. So if you know the Old Testament, you know the plot of this " story"" sooooo stupid!!!

Great narrator can't save this.

Revisado: 12-06-21

I liked Earthcore. I really liked the character Bertha. So how did the author completely ruin such a good character? Made her weak. Very weak. A trained soldier who was so awesome gets turned into an insecure mess. Literally it's " I'm so ugly" " I'm so fat" " My husband is awesome and I have zero personality apart from him" ECT ECT . To the author...learn to write women. All the female characters are viewed through the lense of the male characters. Go watch some Xena or something Such a let down.

Love Brom, but this wasn't his best

Revisado: 09-22-21

Let me first explain that Lost Gods is one of my favorites. The Child Thief and Krampus are also amazing! This wasn't on par with those. A bland performance coupled with a slow burn had my mind wondering in bordem. The last hour was very satisfying. But it was 13 hours of blah getting there.
Do I still recommend this book? Yes. I love a good witch story. I am very pro Pagan, so I appreciate all his works.

Had me guessing the whole time! Great story

Revisado: 07-01-21

Will he? Won't he? Will she? This story balances what we think we know and what we can speculate. Great narration!
A word on the " glitches". Yes, there are clicks and it's annoying. But I didn't let it stop me from finishing. No spoilers but you have to finish it....even up to the last sentence too really appreciate it.
Some people call this a romance. In a way...sure. It's what happens when romance spirals into madness. Highly recommend!

* Spoilers ahead*
I really hate it when religious nuts write fiction without communicating its true purpose.
Here is the big " climax"....( you've been warned-)
When Jesus died a huge psychic surge hit all" primitive" cultures( the author sites the Native Americans, Africans and Chinese as the primitive cultures) and they were so moved that they all became Christians and constructed crosses. Yup.
So ,apart from being insulting on so many levels, it's just dumb. Wouldn't you think that when the Christians were commiting mass murder in indigenous tribes, something would have clicked?
The author falls into the tired old image of the " magical native people" who have powers. Everyone is healed in the end. Everyone falls in love, lives happily ever after. Including the wife beating husband, who after a single conversation with a pastor, has changed his ways. And the wife takes him back( because God made her strong in her heart). seriously.
I'm not bashing religion, I just didn't sign up for this crap.

Not really my thing.

Revisado: 06-18-21

80% of the story is monkeys dying horribly. The scientist have no issue with killing 500 of them in an assembly line(direct quote from the book). Was so much talk of animal torture necessary? idk, maybe it's to show how little the CDC or the military care about animal welfare. What I did learn is what an absolute mess the CDC is. Now I have a better understanding of how Covid 19 was so horribly handled. Was it interesting? Not really. Was the characters ( names changed but based on actual people) likeable? Not a one. Was the narrator good? Not so much, very dry. Am I a sucker for medical dramas? Unfortunately yes. So if you like the grit of medical procedure, have at it. On a side note, I hope to never hear " space suit" again.

It's a really long children's story

Revisado: 05-07-21

The multicast is what interested me( Neverwhere was very good) Unfortunately, this is not a story for adults. I got 4 hours in and was bored out of my mind. The narrator ( not the characters, but the filler voice) was sooo slow. I'm not sure what was the point of... anything. Nothing interesting happens. Maybe I will finish it, probably not.
On a positive note, the voice of Silias ( sp?) was good.

So boring!

Revisado: 05-03-21

45 hours of rambling. The narrators mumbled every word, names completely muffled. Probably the worse " story" I've tried to push through. I say " story" because nothing happens. The first 30 minutes are the only thing I can really remember. I do not get the high reviews. If you listen to books on your commute, don't even try.

So close to being great.

Revisado: 04-30-21

Did I enjoy it? For the most part. The idea was very unique, very intriguing. The execution...not so much. Is this about Native supernatural beings or... basketball? Like wayyyyy too much basketball at the end.
The narrator was was ok, spoke a little slow for my taste. Was it creepy? No. Did it have gore? A bit. Is there a strong lesson in respecting nature and your ancestors? Definitely.

Beyond bad...

Revisado: 04-16-21

The narrator was ok. The story was AWFUL. So much racism ( " the black maid this, with her black hands, her black fingers...ect ect. yeah we get it, she's African American and a maid. ) But the really messed up thing is the weird incest between a 13( yeah kinda wish they would have mentioned underage INCEST in any of the reviews) girl and her dad. Maybe if it had something to do with the story, but it does not. It's like the author just wanted to put some gross context in there for kicks. Not a horror story at all. Nothing scary, nothing suspenseful. Just a gross family in a couple houses. Sooo bad, I wish I could get my credit back.
