Reunited... But to What end?

Revisado: 12-25-18

The series has developed in a way that I am happy to say is believable, if you believe in the possibilities of what we can accomplish with science.
The fact that almost all the alien life portrayed in the series has almost human like behavior as far as commerce and social functions is possibly a bit of a stretch, but at least it creates a reality that you can participate in if it is true.

The situations this crew get caught up in are amazing, in consideration of their potential importance on the galactic scale, but with the bravado and style they bring, how could they be anything less?

With the style of a wild west frontier, the tech of star wars, and an ability to relate like someone we probably all knew growing up, this series ties strings around your desire to see what happens next, and live like you are a part of it.

After the incredible fortune of reuniting the crew, can Jason piece together the events that have cost him so much. Can Cage connect the dots well enough to figure out where they need to be next? Can Crusher stand by when his home world eventually falls to this new threat? Will Twingo be given a chance to integrate the Travelers energy weapon and dimensional jumping into the Phoenix? Will Jasons son make an appearance and cost everyone?

So much potential, and so much more that could happen. I am eager to get into the next book in the series.

But to be an honest critic, I have to bring up the negative.

Lucky has a back story that is not exactly... Without continuity errors. His age has varied. The count of lot 700 at one time was 38... Then 37. Now there are 36 after the loss of the slicer specialist unit. The synth concept needed to be more explored before used, but I think it has finally matured into a useable concept.

While I look forward to some imaginative abilities of the new Lucky, I hope the abilities remain in the realm of believability. I don't think I could handle the battle synth being able to teleport himself, but I could believe an active camouflage to infiltrate highly secured facilities.

Aside from that little knit pick in continuity, the series is fairly solid and fun.

Strongest Foundation for a series so far.

If you could sum up The First Confessor in three words, what would they be?

Enlightening, Mysterious, Flowing.

What did you like best about this story?

It did not skimp on details. It did not 'magically' move past tough situations. It kept you involved. Most authors will put a character in a tough situation, and move on to another scene, coming back and giving a shorthanded version of escape or resolution... not here. You get to walk through it with the character. Very well done.

What about Kellie Fitzgerald’s performance did you like?

Excellent choice for presentation... the redundant sentences in the story where bothersome, (assuming that was for continuity for audio tapes), but the presenter came across consistent and involved.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

This book gave me hope for an incredible series to come.

Any additional comments?

What happens next? Can we be there for the introduction of the peoples palace? The weapons of old are being crafted to fight battles yet to come. Will more than weapons be crafted? Will the talents of the War Wizards, the temporal fight for the future, be rooted in sand or crafted of Stone? Is there a Sanctuary where the War Wizards and Confessors will go to wait for a Final Fight? Who leads the final fight?

There is so much potential laid out before Us in this book that you wonder if Terry Goodkind will have to name a successor to take up the Pen in his name and continue the series a hundred or thousand years from now. From Magda, to Kahlen, to Jax, the fight is ancient and new, and seems to never end.

Picking up this Book (or pressing play, as the case may be) is undeniably the first step of a great journey.
