Immediately a classic

Fantastic fantasy! I had heard of Feist for years, but had never read his work. Glad to have discovered these gems in the Riftwar.

Excellent narration, poorly written.

Revisado: 07-19-24

This book consists of several tenuously linked stories that had very little to do with highgate, outside of a small scene in the first chapter, and a small mention of highgate in the last. The stories are poorly thought out, and seemed phoned in, as if the writer was not really interested in the subject. Of course this malaise in his writing changed when the author could not refrain from injecting his MODERN WOKE ideals into what is essentially a Victorian story. I think this says more about the authors priorities to a political agenda, than his craft as a writer. He inserted this idiology through a juvenile preaching of perversion as normal, and acceptable. The author attempted attacking a Victorian doctor's written works, because they diagnosed degenerate behavior, as degenerate behavior. He also tried to shame victorian society, and modern society by default, for rejecting perverse degeneracy as normal acceptable behavior. In addition, the author also tries to elevate this perverse ideology by drafting the protagonist "Holms" to his cause, he writes Sherlock Holms as being accepting of this degenerate behavior, as if he were a modern day virtue signaling poser, rather than a Victorian man, that had spent his life fighting degenerate behavior in all it's guises.

excellent nostalgic Halloween memories

Revisado: 09-16-23

This is a great one for those like me, who miss the carefree halloweens we remember from our childhood. Halloweens when kids were free to roam the neighborhood with friends, trick or treating without parents in tow, and without the worries that accompany Halloween today. Well written, and narrated. A joy to losten to.

fun but very predictable

Revisado: 08-15-23

I know the main character is supposed to be a clueless lazy slacker, but the listener may not be. A little effort in trying to surprise the listener rather than be so predictable would be appreciated. At least none of the characters ar constantly crying like the last story.

Just too much crying

Revisado: 08-15-23

very much like an earlier book in the series, way too much crying. This time the angel character rather than the grim reaper is constantly crying. after a while it just grated on my nerves.

I usually like Craig Alanson's books

Revisado: 07-24-23

Typically Craig Alanson is better with his research. There are quite a few errors in the info in this series of books.

When mr Alanson talks firearms, he makes several really BIG errors. Example: one character (Isabel) has a "hunting rifle in 300 millimeter magnum". 300 millimeters is far larger than the size of the cannon on an Abrams main battle tank. A 300 Winchester magnum does exist, and is a 30 caliber (7.62 millimeter) rifle round. 7 and a half millimeters is a lot smaller tham 300 millimeters. Also a 45 ACP Glock, or Sig, may be considered a pretty big diameter by some. However it would be very difficult to hurt ones wrist discharging it since a 45 ACP has a very moderate managable recoil. I could understand the sentiment, if he was shooting a large 45 caliber revolver (hand cannon) chambered in 454 casull or larger. Glock and Sig Saur do not chamber these very powerful cartridges, semi auto Glocks and Sigs are not tough enough to handle those pressures. Oh, and you don't need a permit, license, or registration to possess a firearm (a constitutional right doesn't require paperwork) in the vast majority of the United States. So please stop commenting weather or not a person has a permit for the firearms legally in their posession. Yes even the maim protagonists (kas) can have a firearm. He may be in hidind, but he has not been convicted of any felony. The only places in the United States that require permits are those very violent cities and states run by one political party that exasperates and promotes lawlessness so prevalent in those areas. A little less than half of the United States allow concealed carry without having a carry concealed permit. Long arms (rifles, shotguns) and handguns, can typically be transported in a automobile in the vast majority of states without any type of paperwork (permit), as long as they are not loaded, or concealed on ones person in those states that still require a concealed carry permit.

Also Mr. Alanson, please refrain on making political comments on history and historical figures. Especially when those people and situations have been politicised in a controversial way. It shows you lean toward political correctness (politcally ignorant revisionist history) that could have a backlash on your success.

I would also like to suggest that Mr. Alanson refrain from using identical expressions that he has used in other book series. For example: "break it bown barney style". When stories from a different series, written by the same author, with similar banter, is narrated by the same voice actor. The use of the same expressions, causes distraction that takes away from the story. A bit lazy.
