Quite literally the worst book

Revisado: 02-21-25

This was the worst book I’ve ever paid money to own. The audio performers were great, but they had very little to work with and I hope they were paid well. The entire narrative felt like a 30 some odd hours retelling of a fever dream a child might give at the height of flu. The alternative history theme seemed like a lightly veiled excuse to disregard social conventions. The weird and constant gore was uncomfortable and its purpose was not ever explained in a way that meaningfully contributed to the plot. Awful.

the depth and breadth of its awfulness

Revisado: 12-20-24

bought dramatized version on accident and it is horrible. I powered through, but my wife only made it 12 minutes into the title and was put off by the awkward moaning and strange music. completely miserable experience.

unfortunately, since I paid for the title with actual money, not a credit, I am unable to return it...seriously? that policy is worse than dramatized versions of audiobooks.

Far too try-hard for my taste, and I generally have astonishingly terrible taste in literature. Finally gave up with two hours remaining.

interesting story

Revisado: 04-19-23

I consume a lot (too much) science fiction and have never heard of this particular author, but decided to purchase because of other books read by the narrator. Ultimately, I really liked it. I disagree with negative reviews about failing to deliver pace in the middle. Story building is essential and I felt like the flow was perfect for this genre. Well done. I will continue to purchase books in this series and plan to look into other books written by the author.

I've loved every episode, even if I rarely listen through the audible app. Master storytelling and interesting topics.

This is a terrible romance...

Revisado: 08-26-22

I'm currently struggling through this book. I'm surprised by the vast amount of sexism and dated gender stereotypes.

Somehow the author works in something about the lead character being sexually desperate every other sentence. It's so forced and very unrealistic. If you ever wanted to read version of Twilight after an age where everyone has had time to burn through a marriage or so, this is a good choice.

I'm sad to have lost a credit. This is truly cringeworthy. I say that as person who made it through all of Star Kingdom twice. I really thought I had primed well enough for this series, but I'm probably done.
