A story of family

Revisado: 01-10-24

I loved that you could see and hear the love the family has for each other, and the surprise at the end made me cry! Thank you, Jay and Kaiser, for this audiobook version.

Decent story, horrible narration

Revisado: 10-05-21

I appreciate the omnibus editions of these stories. The story is engaging and keeps you interested. However, the narrator doesn’t know how to pronounce many words, to the point I want to shout while listening “it’s betrothal, not be-tor-hal!” Or it’s warrens, not wārons. Just two examples of the many mispronounced words that rip me out of the story, and are just plain irritating. If it was occasional, I’d deal with it. But it’s massive and continual. If she mispronounces a word once, she continues throughout the stories. She can’t even get the main character’s name right - it’s Amal, not Emil!

Great military sci-fi

Revisado: 03-10-21

The story moves along at a great rate. R C Bray is a wonderful narrator, with excellent voices for different characters. My favorite part of the book? The bloopers at the end. I woke up my husband cackling at them!

Laughed till I cried!

Revisado: 01-14-21

If you need an audiobook that will make you laugh, this is it. I started listening to this during a very stressful time, and it was just what I needed! I’m still restraining giggles as I’m typing. It’s silly, fun, and also has some lessons to teach. But most of all, it’s funny! So funny, that there are outtakes at the end that mostly consist of the narrator laughing at the twists and turns of the story. At one point he calls the author “you sick b*stard!” Get it and enjoy!

Great story

Revisado: 07-28-20

I’ve listened to the entire series to this point, and you have to suspend belief at many places, but it’s a great read.

The best part in this one is the bloopers at the end. I was laughing out loud at the grocery store, mask and all, and got a lot of strange looks! Thanks Luke!

Prescient

Revisado: 10-01-15

Reading this series is almost scary when I compare it to the world today. This book especially resonated with me because of its concentration on the educational system. I am a teacher who retired in her early 40s due to some of the issues touched on in this book. It takes some of the problems our schools face today and imagines where they might go in the future and the effects it will have, not only on the students, but on society itself. Powerful story!

Highly recommended!

A great story, especially if you are a dog lover. It shows clearly the bond between a person and their dog. Amazing stories. Worth the credit!

Needs work

Revisado: 01-26-15

This reminds me of stories my middle school students would write. Too many unexplained threads, choppy writing, and tinny narration. The author has promise, but the book needs to be longer so her ideas can be expanded, and the book will make more sense.

Different!

Revisado: 02-21-14

When I purchased this book, I had no idea it was a "steampunk" novel, including werewolves and vampires. I don't like stories including those, and normally would've stopped listening, but this book grabbed me from the first, and kept me laughing! It helped that the werewolves and vampires were a minor part of the story. No mysteries, but plenty of action. The description of the courses at this school really tickled my funny bone - Advanced Eye Fluttering; Handkerchief Dropping Techniques! Bahahahaha! I enjoyed reading about Sophronia's adventures, and I will probably read more in the series.

A fun start to a series

Revisado: 02-19-14

If you like cozy mysteries with a lot of laughs, this one is for you. Each character reminds me of people I knew while growing up in the south, just more so. The narrator has just returned home to Mississippi after her divorce, to care for her parents (who, it turns out, only need someone to care for their menagerie while they go on adventures). Her cousin, Bitty, is a fanatic about historical homes, and her pursuit of a home to place on the historical register starts a series of events that will keep you laughing or shaking your head. But like all the strong Southern women I know, they come out on top, with style and graciousness. Enjoy!
