One of the best

Revisado: 04-08-24

Luceno does a fantastic job of connecting disparate threads from other media and presenting a lush, detailed story.

Fantastic

Revisado: 02-04-24

One of the best stories I've experienced. The math, the science, the characters, all immaculately rendered. The spirit of humanity triumphs in this tale of survival where every situation endangers an already precarious mission. I cannot recommend this enough.

A swing and a Miss

Revisado: 05-10-23

I think this book suffers from good ideas executed poorly. The ending is grim but could have been better with a bit more preface. Everyone loves a labyrinth, but the foreshadowing didn't add enough to the conclusion.

The book takes a long time to work through the thoughts of the Beastmen, especially when hunting. The tediousness was compounded by the redundancy of their thought patterns. We didn't gain insight from these monologues, and it seems out of place to spend so much time narrating the thoughts of one of the more primal factions.

Excellent narration. Games Workshop finds great voices for their stories.

Disappointed

Revisado: 01-17-23

This seemed disjointed when compared to previous entries. A lot of filler, but interesting enough once things started moving again. A couple scenes seemed out of place, trying too hard for comedy that it comes off flat. The Clancy-esque style of writing continues to be a benefit. And as usual, the bad to worse kind of scenarios keep you on the edge of the seat, right to the cliffhanger end.

Could have been worse

Revisado: 07-12-22

But it could have been better too. The narrator overcompensates for a lackluster story by embellishing dialogue. Edgy alcoholic girl, her father a cutout from The Big Book of Tropes. Ending elevates the tale by a star. Most interesting part was the protagonists working with the lady they hate most. The story would benefit from developing the villain more. His motives were compelling and his interactions with the others provided dynamic scenes.

Good

Revisado: 06-05-22

Political intrigue and some hard sci Fi concepts makes this an interesting listen. However, there are no scenes that contain the alien in this story. It's background on the company that founded the colony and the struggles it faced during the launch. Interesting, but not what I was looking for. Narrator was excellent.

Fantastic

Great setting for the story. I was a little wary of another book set on an Agri world but the focus highlights different aspects than The Oubliette. Outstanding main character, the point of view served this story well. its quick and the end is a bit anticlimactic for me but the entire story is more than worth it. Doesn't seem like the novel to get a sequel but I look forward to more horror entries by the author.

Brilliant

Not horror in the traditional sense. Gets into metaphysics and concepts of mind over matter. Beautifully rendered.

flashbacks

Revisado: 09-08-21

too many flashbacks, they ruin the pace and disrupt the narrative only to be referenced briefly in a following scene. they aren't badly written or uninteresting, but utterly pointless and quite aggravating. Felt like the video game, you were acquiring gear and shit like that. Not in a good way. Dialogue was awkward, but a few good scenes with the alien and the prologue was decent. Would avoid this author, but narrator was great

It gets better

Revisado: 05-31-21

For me, this story started a little slow, but from a little before half way to the end, it becomes something pretty amazing. Some great twists in the plot, and I found myself invested in most of the characters. I just think the beginning was a little bogged down by action sequences that were a bit overlong. Definitely worth it though. But be warned, it is a tragedy.
