Historia
Jade, the mysterious and magical substance once exclusive to the Green Bone warriors of Kekon, is now coveted throughout the world. Everyone wants access to the supernatural abilities it provides, from traditional forces such as governments, mercenaries, and criminal kingpins, to modern players, including doctors, athletes, and movie studios. As the struggle over the control of jade grows ever larger and more deadly, the Kaul family, and the ancient ways of the Kekonese Green Bones, will never be the same.

Historia
A hundred years in the future, a war wages between the Five Dragons - five families that control the moon's leading industrial companies. Each clan does everything in their power to claw their way to the top of the food chain - marriages of convenience, corporate espionage, kidnapping, and mass assassinations. Through ingenious political manipulation and sheer force of will, Lucas Corta rises from the ashes of corporate defeat and seizes control of the moon. The only person who can stop him is a brilliant lunar lawyer: his sister, Ariel.

YA meets Grimdark
Revisado: 12-08-21
This story was written with a "Yes, but / No, and" structure. basically a descent into darkness.
The pacing is good but the characters were pulled around aimlessly by sticking to that plot structure.

Fun fast listen
Revisado: 05-07-21
Any book that makes me laugh out loud gets a special 5 star. humor is a bit juvenile at times, so you gotta have a certain sense of humor, but if you're good with a little slap stick and body humor, this is amazing!

Historia
Logen Ninefingers, infamous barbarian, has finally run out of luck. Caught in one feud too many, he's on the verge of becoming a dead barbarian - leaving nothing behind him but bad songs, dead friends, and a lot of happy enemies. Nobleman, dashing officer, and paragon of selfishness, Captain Jezal dan Luthar has nothing more dangerous in mind than fleecing his friends at cards and dreaming of glory in the fencing circle. But war is brewing, and on the battlefields of the frozen North they fight by altogether bloodier rules.

Good advice and sobering truths
- De William en 01-30-15
Great for writers and readers.
Revisado: 08-06-18
I like to write and read fiction, and I bought this book in hopes of learning more about "literary" fiction and how it is crafted.
Professor Hynes has a love of the art and a good amount of writing under his belt. He is passionate about the subject and it comes through in his lecture. He covers a lot of the basics including plotting, characters, and writing beginning and ends. I picked up some great tips.
But what surprised me about this is that it increased my joy as a reader. I've never been a huge fan of literary fiction but after listening to this, I've found myself reading more and enjoying it far more than I had in the past.

The book doesn't stand well on its own, but its amazing when following the first book. I wish I had waited for the third one to be finished because it leaves things hanging...

Ending makes it all worth it
Revisado: 02-28-17
Where does The Hike rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
It's in the middle of the books I've listened too. It's not my type of story but I enjoyed it.
What did you like best about this story?
The ending makes this book worth the read.
What about Christopher Lane’s performance did you like?
He's got great voices and really embodies Ben, the main character, well.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
The ending gave me goosebumps.
Any additional comments?
I almost gave up on this book half way through. It's not fantastical to be fantastical and I was having trouble tracking where it was going or why the story was choosing the path it was. I'm glad I pushed through because I really enjoyed the ending.
