Well constructed sci-fi with an excellent narrator

Revisado: 04-01-23

The pacing is excellent; just the right amount of world building to draw you in without slowing down the plot. The characters are well written and even more well acted. I especially liked the way that the in-universe tech was explained and the “rules” of how things worked were established. In short: I enjoyed this story immensely and wouldn’t hesitate to listen to another by this author.

Slow to build, but hard to put down

Revisado: 05-11-20

The story is wonderful. It takes some time to get off the ground simply due to the depth of the world building but is at no point boring. Once the narrative picks up speed it is a juggernaut of political intrigue, religious fervor, tight combat, and schemes within schemes within schemes. I ended up listening to the last few chapters all in one sitting because I simply couldn't put it down.

As others have said, the narration was odd in parts but overall I think it did the book justice. The occasional awkward stumble as other narrators are brought in for a few paragraphs and then not heard again for several chapters are more than outweighed by the superb performance of the main orator. Additional sound effects are used sparingly and appropriately.

Continuation of a great series

Revisado: 02-28-19

Overall I throughly enjoyed it. Learning the secrets of the silo program was exhilarating. I could have done with less time spent on Silo 17/Old Georgia but it was still a good listen. Only a handful of minor audio errors throughout; nothing ever really distracting.
