You can pass on this one.

Revisado: 07-08-24

The weakest installment by far. The writing is not as strong as the other books and the voice acting is inconsistent throughout. My biggest gripe is having "Tier One Operator" characters that act and sound like boot camp recruits.

Cozy Fantasy is a thing I didn't know I needed

Revisado: 11-29-23

I'm usually the type who is in the mood for Sci-Fi, Suspense, and Action in the books I read/listen to. But sometimes, I just need a break to slow things down and relax. The Legends and Lattes series has given me that. There is something calm and entertaining about these characters simply living their lives. And I love it. This book does a good job of capturing what made the first book special while adding a little more. I can't say it was better than the first story, but it compliments it nicely. I'm interested to see where the story goes from here.

I was skeptical at first...

Revisado: 11-29-23

I'll be the first to admit that I was skeptical about this story. How good could a prequel, to a cartoon series that first aired 18 years ago, possibly be? But with DiMartino's guidance, F.C. Yee was able to create something truly special. This is a prequel done right. It adds to the overall story first laid out and fills in the gaps. What I found was a world with a rich history to be discovered. It's not all happy kids going on an adventure. There are whole underworlds and political intrigue to be explored. I loved it and I'm working my way through the rest of the titles now. I hope to see more.

A good second entry.

Revisado: 02-01-23

I'm enjoying this series so far. Any story that can manipulate your emotions effectively is a good on. I laughed, I rejoiced, and I gritted my teeth at times. looking forward to the next one.

Low Stakes Slice of Life Fantasy

Revisado: 01-18-23

Low Stakes Fantasy? Yes, please! The story and characters were all very engaging. I would love to have stories in this world as a series. The MC is well-written and doesn't get lost in the plot. If you like fantasy books, you might appreciate taking the time to live in a world over just running characters from one action sequence to another. I highly recommend this book.

Didn't stick the landing.

Revisado: 12-15-22

I wanted to enjoy this. I've been listening since the beginning. If this is truly the end of the series, that's too bad. This story felt rushed towards the end. There were a couple emotional beats but no real payoffs.

Nothing really happens.

Revisado: 08-03-22

It's hard to say, but this arc of The Lost Fleet series feels a bit stagnant. Nothing really seems to be going on. It's like these are chapters of a larger book. I don't mean that in the same way that books are part of a series. I mean the pacing feels like I should be approaching some kind of climax, but it just falls flat. You can do this kind of thing if you're a great writer. However, I've always felt these have so-so writing with an interesting premise and story elements. When you take those away, you're left with mediocre writing. I'll likely keep up with the story, but I'm hoping for some more action or bigger revelations going forward.

Popcorn Sci-Fi

Revisado: 03-22-22

Popcorn Sci-Fi is not an insult. This is a fun story with an interesting concept. Just like popcorn, it's tasty but won't fill you up. There are a few story points that I wish more elaboration. But, the everyman main character is not somebody you would expect to know everything anyway. I think this story has the potential to be an enjoyable series. I certainly hope the author will continue to flesh out this story and its characters.

There is a specific audience for this book.

Revisado: 02-16-22

Are you part of the Merry Band of Pirates? Did you drop a coin to play Ready Player One? If you answered yes to either of these questions, what ar you waiting for? You've looked at this cover and read the synopsis at least twice. Spend your credit and come along on a ride that will make you laugh, cry, and pump your fist in the air. For the full experience, look for the playlist on Spotify.

Great Penultimate Entry for the series.

Revisado: 12-14-21

This book delivered on the setup that left the last entry feeling a bit lackluster. I trufly had fun listening to this story. It's bittersweet knowing that the next entry will close out the series that I've spent years listening to. Can't wait to see that the future holds for Mr. Alanson.
