Larry Whitmour II

entrancing story, but drags at times

Revisado: 01-23-25

Overall the book was excellent.Lots of action, character development and world building. It did thought, at times, drag painfully. Ten minutes of dialog to withdraw one arrow head for example. But the inventiveness keeps me going.

Excellent story, characters and reader!

Revisado: 01-18-25

I really enjoyed this text! The characters are great and well developed. the story moves along at a breakneck pace. there ar a few scenes that lag, but in general the pace is great . the length makes it a wonder buy.

Hours of repetitive pedantic politics, a few moments of action. I tried hard to like this series because I love some of the author's other books

A must read, but dragged at times

Revisado: 12-18-24

Sanderson is my favorite author and this series is my favorite of his books. I relistened to the other four volumes and other related books to get ready.

The start of this one was excellent. But the story quickly splintered into multiple separate stories. This allowed the author to work with several characters separately, but the stories did not seem to support a central thread well.

For the first time I have encountered a Sanderson book that I struggled to finish. I found the endings surprisingly predictable. Still, this remains a must read book.

it is a finish, but not something Frank Herbert would have written

Revisado: 11-17-24

great authors always know what not to write and leave to the reader's imagination. These authors however, filled in every needed Gap with nauseating detail and annoying repetition. But, it is a conclusion, does close off every part of the story. If only it didn't leave you wondering what Frank Herbert would have written.

Clearly not a Frank Herbert book, but "in the spirit of Herbert"

Revisado: 11-13-24

From 3 1/2 pages of Frank Herbert notes, the authors built the two large volumes to tie his work to their inventions. Unlike Frank's work, this one is derivative and often annoying repetitive. Still, it does provide a the first of a two volume ending to the main story. Even if it uses the gratuitous rebirth of many old characters.

exceptional writing

A wonderful continuation of his previous book. Herbert is a true master. Makes you really want to see what happens next.

Too many names and objects

Hard to finish, it just drags on and on. Too many names and objects.

Did the hand become an idiot

Revisado: 07-01-24

In the previous books I really liked the main character and at the start of the one too, but the he walked, apparently on purpose, into trap after trap. Never choosing to get the right equipment, e.g. an armed ship, backup nearby, ... Oh well. He was still a true self-sacrificing hero. it just annoys me when previously smart characters walk into obvious traps. Still worth listening too.
