MJS delivers once again. Another excellent work. Things really get rolling after the start. By the end, as usual, you’re ready to jump into the next book whenever it comes our way.

Charming and innocent

Revisado: 09-08-23

A great, small, story. Fantastic narration of a relatable, young, protagonist who is full of angst and strong emotions. Reader does a great job with teenage characters.

I was wrong.

Revisado: 02-28-22

I wrongly,and wrongfully, judged the first book in this series. I criticized Meyer for not doing things with the story that I loved so much about other books. It was a dumb way to judge a book, basing my thoughts on what it lacks compared to other beloved stories, instead of evaluating it for what it brings to the table. Now, years later, I’ve come back to the series with fresh ears, and I’ve loved all of it.

This is another fun and creative story in the Magic 2.0 world. The stories have become a comfortable escapist adventure for me to unplug with, and I’ll be watching for the next addition to the series.

Excellent ending to an excellent series.

Revisado: 05-24-20

Things finished in an entertaining and well thought out way. Sullivan weaves a tale that’s somehow simultaneously light, fun, deep, sad, and heartfelt. I think this guy might end up going somewhere.

Skip this and go straight to the next book

Revisado: 03-21-20

If you’re blasting through the series like I am, feel free to skip this book. It’s exactly the same story as The Last Colony, but from Zoe’s point of view. While this may be an interesting idea, it adds almost no new information to the entire story except for maybe the last 2 hours. And even those don’t seem important. Having just binged through The Last Colony, I feel like I just listened to the same book twice, but the second time through a more annoying POV. The series is great, but this one can defensively be skipped without any downside at all.

Basically Star Trek fan fiction, but in a great way.

Revisado: 05-17-17

All of the classic Star Trek character archetypes are present, and the story isn't a far cry from what could be a short story arch of any one of the series. I don't want to spoil anything by being more specific than that. Now, you may read that statement and cringe a bit, but I will say, even with all of it being true, it's actually a very entertaining listen. Entertaining enough that I'm going to jump immediately into the next book of the series.

Fun, but not great.

Revisado: 03-02-15

This seemed, to me, a lazy continuance of the world created in the first book. I found the repetition of plot points in the quest to be annoying and did not add interested information.

I did enjoy the humor, and I do like the characters. It was a fine way to occupy 11 hours of commuting. I really wish the author would take this series in a more interesting, or maybe darker, direction. There's so much potential for things to get awesome, but it's mostly light hearted humor as it is now. This all sounds more harsh than I actually feel. It's a good listen and I'm not unhappy I bought it. All three books together are shorter than many others I have, so they make for fun, quick, distractions from life.

Bray delivers in his reading of this novel

Revisado: 01-22-14

What did you like best about this story?
I thought the journal style of the story would be annoying in audio form, but it was not. It was strangely absorbing.

I loved the engineering and science covered in the story. I have no idea if it is accurate or true, but it certainly sounds well researched. It made science seem very cool, but not in a obvious way.

I also loved the sense of humor in this story. The protagonist is witty and sarcastic. There is a large amount of gallows humor, so be expected from a character accidentally abandoned on an entire planet, alone, with a slim chance of making it home alive.

Any additional comments?
R. C. Bray is absolutely the perfect narrator for this book. He conveys the protagonists humor and sarcasm perfectly.
